Patriotic Fourth of July Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a patriotic card for the Fourth of July.

I started with the Reverse Confetti Big Polkas Cover Panel, which I cut from Polar White cardstock. (You can see a Christmas-themed card featuring this cover plate here.)
I cut circles in red, two shades of blue, and Polar White with a circle die, sized slightly larger than the holes in the cover plate; I taped the circles to the frame on the back.
I used the Taylored Expressions Star Stacklets to cut stars out of navy and red cardstock. I attached the stars to the panel.
I used a now-retired set (TE Caps Lock – USA) to cut the letters from Polar White cardstock. (I cut the letters twice for additional depth.)
I created the smaller sentiment on my computer and cut it with a banner die.

Spellbinders Liberty Collection – July and December

Fourth of July – Die-cut MFT Birdhouse

Hello! Today I am sharing a card showcasing the Birds of a Feather and Birdhouse die sets from My Favorite Things. This design is the same as the card I shared here. I changed out the colors and created a sentiment on my computer to make a Fourth of July card. I love red, white, and blue, patterned paper, and die-cutting – this card covers all three!

I die-cut the birds, birdhouse, and floral pieces from Neenah Solar White, SU Daffodil Delight, SU Garden Green, SU Real Red, FSJ Black Licorice, and patterned paper in my stash.
I assembled the pieces with Tonic Nuvo glue and added them to a panel cut from SU So Saffron (on which I had printed the computer-generated sentiment) with a now-retired MFT Blueprints set.
Although the Birdhouse set includes a post, I wanted my sentiment to go below the birdhouse, so I added a string of cardstock cut with the IO Vintage Ornament die to hang the birdhouse from the top of the card.

Hope your week is off to a terrific start!

TE CAS Patriotic Card – Freshly Made Sketches 340

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS patriotic card created with Taylored Expressions products that I am entering into the Freshly Made Sketches 340 challenge.

To create the card:

I die-cut the Caps Lock – USA (Sugar Cube cardstock) and the two stars (Cherry Pop and Blue Corn cardstock).
I did a repeat stamping in Blue Corn ink of one of the phrases in the TE Land of the Free set on Sugar Cube cardstock, which I matted with TE patterned paper, to go behind the die-cuts.
I dry-embossed the Sprinkles cardstock card base with the Fireworks folder.
I assembled the pieces, popping up the USA with foam adhesive.
