Happy Birthday, America! Patriotic Shaker Cards

 Happy Birthday, America, as you celebrate 250 years! May God Bless the USA!

Everyone loves the interaction with a shaker card, and it is just so very appropriate for this 4th of July.

Upcycled Coffee Carrier Becomes Table Display

The 4th of July celebrations are in the making and let the festivities begin! And who doesn't love a good upcycled project - I know I do. Deb Felts very creatively took a coffee carrier from one of her local shops and transformed it into a table decor item while serving the purpose of holding any number of items needed on your picnic table - silverware, cups, a vase of flowers, sparklers & matches etc. Fill it up to beautifully adorn your holiday tabletop.

And note that all the sets Deb used on today's project are currently available at 20% OFF as our Product of the Week features all sets in our Patriotic Series. Check out the details at the end of this post!

This is the coffee carrier Deb upcycled - isn't it fun!

To do the stamping directly onto the carrier, Deb just folded it flat - super easy!

Patriotic Pocket Card

Pocket cards are always so much fun to make - tuck in little coordinated tags, notes, cash, check or gift card - whatever suites the occasion! Today's project is from Esther Asbury and she created this in a patriotic theme, perfect for America's 250th birthday celebration!

All sets used on today's card are currenlty at 20% OFF as part of our current Product of the Week featuring ALL sets in our Patriotic Series! A great time to grab what you need. Details at end of post, so check it out!

Esther created this pocket card with a fun belly band, though this non-opening card contains a pocket to hold fun items, the belly band need not slip off. It's a wonderful feature. I have long loved belly bands!

The Liberty Bell (sentiment)

All designer papers used are digital that Esther printed out.

Esther has 2 inserts in her pocket and this is the first.

The Red, White & Blue (flag, sentiment)

This is the second insert.

The American Eagle (eagle, sentiment)

And flip the card over and this is the back, again using printed digital paper along with a stamped sentiment from

Old Glory (sentiment)

Thanks so much, Esther, for this fun patriotic project today!

Patriotic Collage

Good Monday morning on this fun week preceding America's 250th Birthday! For this week only we are featuring our ENTIRE Patriotic Series at 20% OFF, so it's a great time to pick up what you might have been wishing for! The sale details are included at the end of this post, so be sure to check it out.

Karen Letchworth shares a fun card with us today in a collage style where she used just about every set in our Patriotic Series to create her card. She has the central focal sentiment focusing on Veterans as she notes that without our Veterans and all they have sacrified, we would not be here today celebrating America 250!

So here is a huge THANK YOU to all of our Veterans and those who have and are serving to protect this great land that we love.

Lots to take in! So just take a minute to absorb it all.

All stamped images and sentiments are included in our

Patriotic Series.

The fireworks panel in the center along with the striped and star designer paper are all from a retired paper pad by Echo Park.

So celebratory for this coming huge birthday for America!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!

Thanks so much, Karen.
