Today is the day for patriotic inspirations. I was originally going to create birthday invitations because my son will be one (1) on the 4th of July. I decided not to do a "4th" theme for the birthday so I chose to do a layout for the Birthday Bash. I like doing 8 x 8 layouts because they are smaller and not as intimidating as a 12 x 12. I found I can get an 8 x 8 done much quicker and get the same satisfaction as doing a 12 x 12.
Yes, that's a toothpick pinwheel:-)
There is no shadow for the firework cut so I made my own by cutting them at two different sizes so it looks like a shadow (silver paper)
For this layout I used:
- K & Company "Americana" specialty paper
- Stand and Salute Cricut Cartridge
- Independence Day Cricut Cartridge
- Stampin' Up ribbon
- Stampin' Up Fun In The Sun
- Stampin ' Up Simple Serif Alphabet
- Pop Dots
- Stickles
