Hello all and welcome to Michelle's Crafty Creations!
This is my first post of 4th of July projects. I have some more!!
Over at Cooking With Cricut our Wednesday Challenge is celebrating our country's "birthday"! So who doesn't like to decorate for "birthdays"?? I do!!! The challenge was to create a project with red white and blue. I happen to like the more Americana look with my personal decoration, so my take on it went with that! I LOOOOOVED how it came out!!!
My banner on the mantle!
These rockets were actually made for invitation for our 4th of July party. I'll post that tomorrow.
Can I just say paper rosettes are SO. MUCH. EASIER. than cardstock! ;)
This particular lettering was cut in shadow and letter. I used a burnt red paper to highlight the letters on the banner! I like the rafia instead of the traditional ribbon.
I REALLY liked how this came out.
To make this I used:
Cart ~ A Child's Year for the letters and background; Gypsy Wandering for the banner; Sweet Treats for the firecracker
Paper ~ DCWV the Guy Stack (LOVE LOVE); Blue rosette Stars and Stripes from JoAnns
Misc ~ Stickles, Ranger distress ink Tea Dye, Rafia, glue dots, and glue gun
