Today we celebrate July 4th in the US as Independence day and I have a quilt card to share with you done in the colors of our US flag which is red, white, and blue.
I used a MFT quilt die with some older retired SU! papers as well as a sentiment die from Lil Inkers to add the word Celebrate. I added a tiny punched red star in the center with another tiny die-cut star in the center of that one. I randomly added sparkle with tiny gemstones as well as bits of red, white, and blue glitter and mirror papers done with a hole punch. I sent this to someone celebrating a birthday recently but it's also perfect for the July 4th holiday.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Stars and/or Stripes
The Four Seasons Challenge - Summer Season July 2024 Season
A Cut Above (Use Die Cuts) - Start this new challenge off with a "Bang!"

Thanks for stopping by today and remember to keep your pets indoors when the fireworks start later today. Please use caution with fireworks too and have a safe and happy July 4th celebration.

Happy 4th, Carol! I love when you do quilt cards, I have one die and am totally unsuccessful with it. You have patience!
Simply gorgeous red, white and blue card! The patterns make for an amazing quilted, paper pieced focal design. There is a lot of dimension and texture created with the die cuts too. Perfect holiday celebration project. Thank you so much for sharing at A Cut Above's debut challenge, "Let's Start Off With A Bang".

Your quilt card in the colors of the US flag is both festive and beautifully crafted! The MFT quilt die, combined with retired SU! papers and a Lil Inkers "Celebrate" sentiment, creates a charming and patriotic design. The addition of tiny punched stars, gemstones, and glitter adds a delightful sparkle, making it perfect for both a birthday celebration and the July 4th holiday.
Wow, this makes for such a stunning patriotic design with that quilt die! I love your mix with the red white and blue patterns with in it and of course it always helps to use up some more of those papers! I love the added star and bling as well! Hope that you've enjoyed your July 4th holiday my friend!
