4th of July Cards

I have gotten a head start on my 4th of July cards.

This card uses a House Mouse image from several years ago, Stampin' Up! star punches, Freedom die from Frantic Stampers and the fireworks stamps (Rocket's Red Glare) and Firecrackers die from Taylored Expressions.  The step card base is a Stephanie Barnard Sizzix Framelits.

This is a Frantic Stampers card.  Both the stars die and the Freedom die are from Frantic Stampers.

I used Stampin' Up!'s Swirly Squiggles die for the stripes and my Cricut for the 4th and the fireworks.

Another all Frantic Stamper's card using their star plate die and the Freedom die again.

A different color variation of the first Freedom card.  I like the white stars on the blue back ground but I like the other card better.

This car also uses the Stampin' Up! Swirly Squiggles die paired with the Tailored Expressions Rocket's Red Glare stamp set and corresponding die set, Firecrackers.

Baseball cards

I made some cards for a friend to send to her friend who loves baseball.  The one that says "Baseball is life" is the one I sent to her with the others packaged as a set for her to mail.

Congratulations on becoming a citizen!

I made this for a friend when he became a citizen.

4th of July Cards

Here is one of the 4th of July cards I made.  I used this week's sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping.

The sketch was perfect for 4th of July cards and gave me much needed inspiration!  I had the red base and the blue embossed with stars and the liberty, but the first card I made lacked excitement.

Paper:  a nice deep red from Marco's paper, generic white card stock, and a shiny blue from The Paper Cut called So...Silk Fair Blue.

Ink: None

Stamps: None

Accessories:  Embossing folders:  D'vine Swirl and Swiss Dots by Cuttlebug and Stars by Crafts Too; Cricut cartridge Stand and Salute; Stampin Up! star punches
