Hello Card with Silver Accents

Hi dear friends!

Did you have a good July 4th holiday?  Have a barbeque?  Hope you had fun!

Today's card includes one of my favorite things to accent cards - Dazzles by Paper Wishes.  Theses stickers come in all shapes and colors. I like the thin line dazzles best because I can use them as an accent like below, edge a card and so on. (Disclaimer: I have not been given any "free" product. I just like using them and have for years and years.) 

This is a standard A2 size card made with a deep blue cardstock, then layered with patterned paper (AG).
I made some 1/4 inch and 1/8-inch strips of the blue card and the other strip come from one of AG's border strips (I cut it up.). I glued the strips to the patterned paper starting diagonally. I alternated between the blue card and the patterned strips. I trimmed the overhang. I added some silver Thin Line Dazzles, one on either side of the set of strips. I trimmed this also.
I adhered the piece to my card base.
I chose some other silver Thin Line Dazzles and added them top and bottom of my card, trimming as I went.
I created a silver mirror card square for my sentiment. I used a corner rounder to round the corners on my silver square. I added the HELLO which was cut from some blue mirror card I had. The sentiment was adhered to the silver backing and then this piece was added to my card with foam squares.

You can see me holding my phone to take a picture of my card in the reflection of the silver. The reason I am holding the card is, so my pajamas don't get reflected too. Yikes!

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Independence Day! Card

 Happy Independence Day Card

Hi everyone,

I hope that you are enjoying a safe and fun July 4th weekend.  I stayed in (sort of) and enjoyed just sitting outside.

I always make traditional July Four cards for my sisters. This year along with those, I made this modern take on a July Fourth Card.

The card is 5 x 5 inches square and made from white cardstock, then matted with black cardstock.

I used red, blue and silver glitter paper (Scrapbook.com).

-I cut the three sheets to 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches.

-using my trimmer I cut each sheet from corner to corner creating 2 triangles

-I took each triangle and cut it into three smaller triangles.

-I used a piece of white card (4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches) and double stick tape to cover it.

-I lined up each triangle and laid it onto the white cardstock, altering colors as I went.

- I cut three 1/8 inch strips of each glitter color (on cardstock).

   -I laid the silver strip first - from corner to corner

   -I added the blue and red strips next, trimming one end so that it was angled to fit the card center.

I completed with a single 3D sticker from Anna Griffin in the center.

I used a red and a blue triangle on the inside of my card. I printed out a couple of the lines from the song You're a Grand Ole Flag.
