Happy 4th of July!!!

Cheers to a fun and safe 4th of July!  Today I'm sharing a card with you that was originally created for a some classes I taught back in June 2019.  Even at the time many of the materials used were retired, but you may be able to raid your stash of card making supplies to find these or similar items.

Notes re Assembly

This card is pretty easy to assemble just by looking at the picture, but I've added a few helpful tips below . . . .

1. The two wavy stripes were cut a little longer than the white card stock, and then the edges were trimmed before adhering to the blue card stock.

2. Tiny dots of liquid glue were used to adhere the stripes (first the blue, and then the red).  Liquid glue also was used to adhere "celebrate."

3. The stars were assembled before adding to the card.  Liquid glue was used to adhere the two outside stars; the center star was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoy this card -- it's a great design to celebrate any patriotic holiday.
