Hello friends!

Let’s be honest: usually, I am right here giving you a full, step-by-step tutorial on how to glue your fingers together. Today, we are skipping the heavy instructions. Instead, I just want to show off a little patriotic experiment that actually turned out looking like a million bucks.

Bonus: Since we are skipping the tutorial, I put together a quick, downloadable PDF recipe card for this project. Snag it below to save the exact formula for your next crafting session!

I decided to play with a classic five-step card formula, but with a twist. I flipped the focal. The main die set was intended to be used in portrait mode, but I went landscape instead because I like to live dangerously in the craft room.

Please NOTE the Spellbinders Stars and Stripes Stamp & Die set has SOLD OUT.

Here is exactly how this red, white, and beautiful project came together:

Step 1: The Star of the Show: I used the Spellbinders Stars and Stripes Stamp & Die set, then piled on die-cut fireworks and flowers from the May All Clubs Crate (the Red, White, and Bloom Die set).

Step 2: The Frame: An old favorite made a comeback. The Spellbinders Essential Rectangles gave me that classic dotted border that adds the perfect dotted detail along the edge.

Step 3: The Chat: Kept it simple with a stamped “Let Freedom Ring” greeting.

Step 4: The Backdrop: A solid, bright red cardstock panel. No fuss, just pure color.

Step 5: The Bling: A few Silver Mix Essential Gems for that mandatory sparkle.

I did ink the edged of all the die cut pieces with brown ink for a toned down antique look.

So grab a cup of coffee, gather your supplies and let’s get crafty! Thanks so much for stopping by, wishing you a day filled with crafty supplies, love, laughter and smiles! Sending crafty hugs, Tina. 💌
