I found a really fun star shaped card in the Silhouette store that I thought would work perfectly with today's patriotic theme.

 

 

I used the Joy's Life "My Hero" Stamp Set. Isn't it perfect for this card?  There are many sentiments on that set that work well for any patriotic holiday. It's a "gotta have" set!

 

 

Here's a close up of the stamped image:

 

 

I'll tell you a little about the other products I used, too.  The red card stock base is cranberry cardstock from Close To My heart.  The patriotic patterned papers are from my friend Tabitha. She designs digital papers, and even takes special orders.  You can find her papers and digi stamps at Tabitha's Designs.  The crinkle ribbon, by 3 Girl JAM is from the new Red, White, and Blue bundle. This is the white ribbon, with red and blue edges.  Scrumptious, isn't it?  Then, there's the chipboard from UmWow Studios.  My friend, DeeDee makes it, and it's wonderful. This chipboard is the star confetti. The pearls are from Close To My Heart.

That's it for me. Time to hop along to Dawn's blog and see her wonderful creation.  Have fun, and thanks for stopping by!
