The 4th of July holiday falls on a Tuesday this year, so I get a 4 day weekend to celebrate! I recently received the Gus & Gertie - 4th of July Stamp and Die Combo as a freebie with purchase from Taylored Expressions, and thought it was the perfect stamp for a set of July 4th cards. It was a limited time and exclusive set, so it is not currently for sale.
After coloring the stamp with Copic markers, I die cut it with the coordinating dies. To give both cards a focal point, I die cut the TE Open Scallop Circle die from TE Cherry Pop cardstock.
The layout for this card is based on the #TEMakerChallenge June Sketch. I am barely squeaking this in on the last day of June!
I used some blue paper with white stars on the left side of the first card, with red and white stripes on the right side. I finished this first card off with a sentiment from Mini Strips - Patriotic.
For the second card, I used a Z-fold base with the same papers, which shows the red and white striped paper when opened. To give the inside of the card some definition, I used the larger TE Masking Stencils - Rectangles stencil to blend on TE Confetti Cake ink. To finish off the second card, I used a small sentiment from the TE All Tucked In - Patriotic stamp set (retired) on the bottom right of the 'inside' of the card.
Happy 4th of July to all of my American friends!
Have a good day.
Kayla
