Celebrate July 4th

Written by Janine on July 1st, 2010

Sorry it’s been a while since I last posted. Summer vacation has kept us busy the past few weeks!

I used JustRite Stampers, Spellbinders ™ die templates, a Cuttlebug embossing folder and a border punch from Martha Stewart to create this card. It came together rather quickly and can be adapted to any theme.

Supplies used: JustRite Stampers: JB-08735 Calendar Border and Centers, JB-08790 Just a Note Borders and Centers, JB-0808 Special Occasion Font. Spellbinders™ Die Templates: S4-114 Standard Circles LG, S4-116 Standard Circles SM, S4-115 Petite Scalloped Circles LG, S4-138 Petite Ovals LG, S4-141 Petite Scalloped Ovals SM. Provo Craft: 37-1911 Stars Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. EKSuccess: Star Edge Punch.

I used the stars from the border punch, added them to a few stars on the embossed cardstock and embellished them with rhinestones.

I hope you have a wonderful July 4th celebration!

Enjoy!
