Happy 4th of July!

Hello Everyone,

I hope your enjoying the weekend so far! I wanted to post this quick today as I am off to spend the day with my daughter. We are taking off to the Mall of America for the day.

With the 4th of July right around the corner I thought it would be fun to participate in a few challenges that are a Patriotic theme.

My card base is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4, base layer at 5 1/4 x 4 which I embossed with the stars folder. I cut the image at 4 1/4 plus the layers from A Child's Year cartridge. I cut it out a second time in red so I could cut away the pieces and use them in my project since this cartridge did not have a lot of layering features for what I was cutting. The flag is cut at 1 1/2 plus the layers and "The 4th of July" cut a 2" all from the Independence Day cartridge.



I also made little treat bags using 3 x 4 bags and filled them with treats. The topper was cut at 2 x 3 and I used my SU punches for around the sentiment~Happy forth of July sentiment is from Hero Arts I think.




Challenges: Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #12~Lets get Patriotic
                     Cricut Cardz Challenge #80~American Flag
                     Decorate to Celebrate #2~4th of July/Independence Day Theme Party

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great weekend!!!

    Wow, what an awesome card, Sherrie! Everything about it is just so fabulous! I really love blue as the background color...it makes the white shadows around the image really stand out and gives another layer of dimension. Love it! And the treat bags are so clever and adorable! I hope you have a wonderful day shopping with your daughter!!
