Since it’s getting close to the 4th of July, I wanted to do something with stars, using the negative punch out I saw it on a post from Michelle Singer in the LNS group earlier this week. She used the small star punch (retiring), then punched out the star using the scallop square.. what a neat idea!! But I had to do RED/WHITE/BLUE version for our Great Nation’s Birthday coming up. Hope you like it!!
Here’s Michele’s green version:
Card by Michele Schmidt
Here’s the sketch: 
Here’s my take on it: My stripes are strips of Real red cardstock glued onto the white background. The large star is our larger star punch which is NOT retiring.
Saying from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Happy Birthday USA!
Here’s a close up of the star… and yes, I had to add some extra bling and used the vanilla smooch spray just across the top of the card.
I have used the small star punch which is retiring….so this is the last month you can purchase it. The chunky glitter is staying.. I love this chunky glitter, it’s much easier to clean up!!
You can make a card using our sketch and add your link at the bottom of this post. Come on… try this cool sketch!!
