Hello, my fellow Junkies! Michael here with his first post on the Technique Junkies Design Team Blog. I LOVE July 4th and miss it terribly. And, I may not get to enjoy fireworks but I do enjoy making cards for July 4th. And I love getting more bang for my buck.
To make these two cards I used one stamp - the Celebrate America stamp. I love this stamp but, man, it's a big one! So I stamped it once on white cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Then I cut the image in half, giving me two stamps. There are so many words on this stamp that cutting it in half is easy peasy.
Next, I made my 2 cards. One card I used a star embossing folder with a piece of blue cardstock, which I adhered to the card front. Then I layered half my card on red, white and blue cardstock and adhered that to the front. For my other card, I adhered strips of red, white, and blue cardstock and then I layered the other half - again on red, white, and blue cardstock and then to the card front. Done!
