Happy Birthday

 Welcome to the July/August Love To Scrap Challenge. 

And it is so exciting that this July 4 we will be celebrating 250 years, you know the semiquincentennial. That word is a mouthful in itself LOL

So since this is such a fabulous event to celebrate, and they don't come around very often (LOL)  I decided to make a birthday card for America.

I used a die set and an embossing folder from Spellbinders that are perfect for celebrating the ole Red White and Blue.

All the pieces I used with the dies and the sentiment came from my scrap drawers. Even those stars and the little ones are teeny tiny.  (Yea I know I save to many pieces but don't we all.) 

Anyway this is my celebration card for this once in a lifetime event of celebrating this milestone in our nations history. 

Products I used:

Card stock- Red, White, Blue

Die set - Spellbinders -  Die set Red White and Bloom(May 2026)

Embossing Folder - Spellbinders (March 2026)

Sentiment (and frame) - Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous - Simple Sayings

Ink - Memento

Hope you enjoyed my project and maybe it will give you some ideas on how to use those saved cardstock pieces that are patiently waiting to be used

Well that's it for now
