Celebrate America

 
 
 
Happy 4th of July and welcome to the Charmed Life Blog. This is a day of celebrating, parades, picnics and fireworks in most towns across America.
 
We will be spending the day with our grandsons and then going to a fireworks display at night. My hubby loves fireworks. So we don't miss going. Hope your celebration is a joyous one.
 
Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #433 on Splitcoaststampers. Kim was our hostess and she chose red, white and blue with a patriotic theme. I love making patriotic cards. So this one went together easily for me.
 
For this card, I chose my layout and then my papers. I am using this week’s MojoMonday sketch #300.
 
The patterned papers are from Michael’s recollections papers. I had them in my stash from last year.

I used a Cuttlebug stars embossing folder on my card base. For my pennant I stamped the fireworks with the Great Impressions Stamps –“fireworks & stars G303” in real red and night of navy.

I made a rosette with the Tim Holtz mini rosette die from patterned paper. I used the Stampin-Up star punch for the large star and an EK success punch for the smaller stars.

My sentiment panel is using “patriotic cocoa” set from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps. Well, it's time to close this post so until next time.........God bless.
