Hello Fellow Stampers ~~
And Happy 4th of July!!
I hope everyone has found a way to celebrate our Nation's Birthday today, despite our trying times!!
It's that time of year again . . . a 4th of July birthday in the family!!! Interesting I think to have a birthday on the 4th of July!! I think it makes that person EXTRA special; don't you ??
So I try to dig deep each year and create a birthday card that feels "patriotic" and yet Birthday specific all at the same time!!
And here is this year's contribution!! 😊😊😊
Designed as a white background on a white card base, I embossed the background first with the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder. A nice textured background for a "starburst" feel.
Then I pulled out two other items - first, the new Pattern Play stamp set; and second, our Stitched Star Dies.
First, I used the star confetti image in the stamp set, alternating Real Red and Night of Navy on Whisper White cardstock. then I used the star spray die to die cut from this pre-stamped piece; then used Fine-Tip Glue to attach across the center of the card.
Then I used several of the detailed star dies from that set to cut out an assortment of stars from Real Red and Night of Navy cardstock. Then attached those with Fine-Tip Glue as well.
By the Way, . . . I used that same stamped cardstock and overstamped the sentiment in Night of Navy, and fussy cut that out. Pretty cool, huh? 😉😉
The card is finished off with Rhinestones to add that extra "firework" sparkle!!
The inside of the card is finished off to match the front!
And that wonderful "Happy Birthday" sentiment that seems to match the front sentiment so well? . . . You'll find it in the stamp set in the Looking Up All Inclusive Card Kit!
I think today's design works to celebrate both my Uncle's birthday AND our Nation's -- don't you ?? 😊😊
Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of their 4th of July Weekend! Stay safe & have some creative fun!!
