I thought I'd share some more cards I made for July 4th. I used lots of snippets of metallic and glittered cardstock along with sequins and gemstones and anything that sparkled to create these cards. The Celebrate die is from Lil Inker, and the larger stars were cut with Sweet 'n Sassy star dies. The tiny star embossing folder is from Darice and all those tiny stars and diamonds were doo-dads I saved from previous projects.
For this design, I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder that reminded me of stripes. The smaller red star was done with a SU! retired mini punch.
Here are 3 of them together with the star embossing folder. All done in red, white, blue and silver.
I'm entering the first card into these challenges:
Four Seasons Summer July 2023 Challenge - A/G Summer related
Colorful Options July 2023 - use Red, White, and Blue
Allsorts Challenge week # 735 - A/G or optional Summertime

Some really great cards and designs here and the RW&B always makes for such a cheery creation. When I looks at cards like this and the use of dies and embossing folders I always think back to when scissors where the only way to create shapes, how they have revolutionised our crafting.
