From Sea To Shining Sea

I just realized how quickly the Fourth of July is approaching. I was born in Philadelphia, home of the Declaration Of Independence! What a beautiful city, rich in the history of our nation's founding. You should go and visit if you ever have the opportunity. I am a long way from home on the other coast but every little corner of this land is beautiful to me and I am happy and proud to be an American.

I used a die cut shape of the USA with the Red, White, and Blue jumbo wheel from Stampin' Up, the new Marina Mist and Cherry Cobbler cardstocks, the textured squares embossing folder, pinking heart border punch, and white taffeta ribbon.

Red, White, And Blue

This is the new Red, White, and Blue jumbo wheel by Stampin' Up. All supplies used were SU. Cardbase is Not Quite Navy with wheel rolled in matching ink. I carefully inked the America The Beautiful sentiment and the flag with markers and rolled them separately. The star is an unknown SU one that is retired, the ribbon is the red striped grosgrain, the envelope is the Sizzix scallop envelope die. The ribbon pin is removable and can be worn.

Red, White, & Blue jumbo wheel

I used the new Red, White, & Blue jumbo wheel by SU available soon in the Summer Mini, embossed in clear on Whisper White. Also used Something Sweet set and sweet treat cups. Colors that will be staying in the new catalog of Not Quite Navy and Real Red. Mixed red M&M's with blue and white York peppermint pieces for inside treat cup. A very tasty mix :)
