Peachy Keen Stamp's and Whimsical Wednesday's Patriotic Project

I created this card for this week's Peachy Keen Stamps LFIF Challenge and Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #12.


 I used my Gypsy to plan and cut this project. Using the Doodlecharms cartridge, I cut  the United States base shape out of a piece of parchment paper from my stash. The shadow was cut using Papertrey Ink cardstock. I clear embossed stars on the parchment layer. Then using my heat tool, I lightly burned the edges.


The word "Happy" was cut from Kate's ABCs. The remainder of the card was cut from the Graphically Speaking Cartridge. I used DCWV glitter paper to cut the word "JULY" but I wanted a different texture for the number "4." So I cut it out of Papertrey Ink cardstock. Then used Dazzle Versamark to emboss the entire piece with clear embossing powder.

I used the Distressed Stripes cuttlebug folder on a piece of white cardstock. I stitched this to an A2 size card base, and attached everything to the card, using pop dots for the number 4.



Then I cut a star and stamped a face using my Peach Keen Face Assortment. I embossed the edges of the star gold and attached it to the front of the card. I added the gems and called it done.

Thanks for stopping by,

  5. Wow this card is just amazing. I had to laugh with how you ended the post by saying I the gem and called it done. Most people say I called it done when they did something very simple. There is nothing simple about this card. You put so much work into it and used so many different crafting techniques. I really love the parchment paper and the way you put a touch of gold embossing on the edges of the star. Amazing job...thank you for joining us at Whimsical Wednesday this week.
