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.
Thanks for stopping by!
