Hello~
Hard to believe that tomorrow is the 4th of July! I feel like the time is just flying right on by!
This past weekend, I managed a small bit of crafty time to work on knocking out some cards for mailing to friends and family. Here is one of them. I am just now getting around to posting it.
I kept it flat just for the purpose of mailing and many of you know I like to add big fluffy bows and embellishments. I sat on my hands a bit and kept it simple. I found some inspiration at Seize the Sketch.
I started with Kraft card base and added my layer of designer paper from my stash. Then I die-cut My Creative Time 3 x 4 Stitched Journal Die and added to the center of the card front. Next I die-cut some stars in different sizes and patterens using the 3 star stitched dies from My Creative Time and added them to the top of the Journal card. Following the sketch, I cut a panel from patterned paper and stamped Celebrate from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler. Lastly, I wrapped some Blue Baker's Twine around the card front and tied in a bow.
Well, that wraps this one up for me. As mentioned, inspiration was found at: Seize the Sketch.

For my American Friends, I hope you have a wonderful and safe 4th of July! For ALL my friends, have a blessed day!
