Happy July!! I have a paper collection sitting in my stash and with the 4th of July around the corner, I am making a quick Celebrate 4th of July Card. Hi, Margie here today to share my process.
Celebrate 4th of July Card Panel
Start with cutting a piece of 4 x 5.25-inch beige patterned paper and a piece of 4 x 2.25-inch star patterned paper. Adhere the star piece on top of the beige paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. This will be our card panel for an A2-size (4.25 x 5.5-inch) card base.
Embellish the Card Panel
Taking advantage of the matching sticker sheet, I trimmed one of the border stickers to fit the panel. Then added a sentiment banner toward the bottom of the panel.
I chose the Celebrate Star sticker as the focal point of the panel.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars
Going with the theme, I am using the 3D Foam Stars to embellish and pop up my Celebrate Star sticker sentiment. The second largest star was centered on the panel and the top liner was removed. Next, place a small foam star behind the sentiment sticker and apply static powder on the exposed adhesive to alleviate the stickiness. Remove the liner and center the sentiment sticker on the large foam star.
Working around the exposed adhesive, place a piece of red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (color side up facing you) over the adhesive and tap/rub the foil into the star to transfer the color. Remove to reveal! For any missed areas, simply reapply the foil. Repeat the foiling steps with the other smaller foam stars and a couple of stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser in different colors.
Assemble the Celebrate 4th of July Card
Add strips of 3D Foam Strips Large White on the back of the panel and center on a cream cardstock A2-size card base.
Wishing you a safe and Happy 4th of July! I hope my Celebrate 4th of July Card tutorial inspired you to pull out your patriotic papers and stickers to make a super easy card.
