Each year I send only two cards for the 4th of July--to my two elderly aunts. One is 89 and lives in North Dakota and the other is 98 and lives in Montana. Luckily, on our recent RV trip, I was able to visit with each of them in person.
I made two of these cards to send to them:
I started with a blue card base and added some patriotic DSP to the bottom of it. The "happy" was cut with a "happy birthday" die. The number 4 and the little "th" were cut with a number die set that I have.
Each of the die-cut balloons is popped up with foam squares.
I added some marks with a white gel pen to indicate the shine on the balloons. Since it wouldn't show on the white balloon, I used a glitter pen on that one.
In one of my birthday stamp sets, I have some fireworks stamps, so I used them on the inside, along with a "celebrate" stamp.
I hope you have a happy and safe holiday. Ours will be filled with a lot of catch-up yard work. Every plant in our yard (including the weeds) seemed to grow an extraordinary amount while we were gone.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
