Happy 4th of July



Happy Fourth of July to all my American friends.  I am posting some cards I have made over the last few days.  First up is a birthday card in red, white and blue--in honor of Independence day and also to play along at Seize the Birthday where their topping option this week is red, white and blue.



I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #193 and am also playing along at Happy Little Stampers CAS where the challenge is stamping.




I bought a sheet of the cutest patterned paper at a LSS yesterday and immediately cut into it to make a really simple birthday card.  I am linking it up at Curtain Call Celebration and Addicted to Stamps and More #151 Anything Goes.




I used some sheets from a new paper pad by Doodlebug Sunkissed which has some really fun summery patterns to make a card for WPlus9 Throwback Thursday #5.  I pulled out some of their older dies, Quilt Cuts, and made a fun pattern.  I used another WPlus9 die for my thank you sentiment.



I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Summer.



Off in search of fireworks.


Thanks for Visiting

  3. A fab trio of cards Joyce. Love the strip of DP with the candles and the striking lighthouse.
    (I presume you are entering the candles at ATSM though your thumbnail shows the lighthouse.)
    Anyway, thanks for sharing your creativity with us at ATSM. :)
