Hello Greetery friends! It’s Laurie Willison here!
I had to go back and pull some favorite 4th of July supplies to create a quick and easy card! I just love the Wave the Flag Border Die, so this card is based off of this beautiful flag. I tied in the Stars and Stripes Bow Die for a little 3 D look today.
To create today’s card, I die cut the Wave the Flag Border die in red and blue cardstock and added them to a white piece of card stock. After cutting the main card front panel down to 3 ¾” x 5’, I layered the white cardstock with some gold cardstock for a little shine peaking out. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Land of Liberty set in gold embossing powder to coordinate with the mat on the card. Last, I took the little star trio die from the For the Ages die set to add in just a little more shine! To finish the card, I die cut that adorable bow from the Stars and Stripes Bow Die set and added it to the side of the card.
You know I love clean and simple with lots of white space but I always love to share a few tips for adding in more detail or in this case changing up the card details:
- Use any of the Star Stream line from The Greetery to change up the look of the card front. The stencil would add color and the embossing folder would add amazing texture!
- Change up the sentiment to work for your specific occasion.
- Use the Postal Frame dies or the Crimped Frames or Crimped Circles to make any shaped card you might want.
I am so glad you stopped by today and I hope you enjoyed today’s project! If you are inspired to create a clean and simple card, please tag me when you share over on Instagram! I love to see all your creations!
