July 4th tags for the Grands-Update

 - Some assembly required...
🥸
Mostly cardstock with a dash of vintage photo ink 
around which it looks like I forgot
to do on the kraft paper.

This took an assembly line (though I did a run-through on one card)
to see if what's in my head translates on paper.
The stars and liberty bell are 
old Quickutz dies. 
The itty bitty ones pop out of big USA letters so I
now have a bazillion USA letters in white
in case you're interested.
I was debating if I actually wanted to put them on a card
and decided nah...but It need something.
So I decided to maybe make it like a tag but it needed
some edging so I pulled in the color
from the bell - which I did remember to distress.
One in a row.
I love the banner sentiment even though it's obvious.
But I remembered I had this cool post card stamp that would
make it kind of a really cool tag.

I added some stamping to the back of the card
and I thought it turned out pretty cool.
TH stamps except for the stamp cancel.

Rustic mini album

I believe I mentioned that I had a bunch
of these sunflowers Holli stamped for me and
that you'd see more of it!!!
 I wanted to make a mini album as a gift for my pal Tobie
who is my boxbuddy for workouts.
And pulling all my papers out I didnt' really have a "theme"
going on. Not that a theme is necessary
it just helps when putting things together.
 In the process of trying to pull out papers and figuring things out,
I decided that in using the sunflower it really
wouldn't go with anything I had, but, I really wanted to use it
and then a lightbulb went off -
 Why did I have to cover up this chipboard with paper.
Hmmmm????
 A challenge!!!
 I did find some "rustic" cards, tried my hand at a "shaker"
we'll see how well that works LOL.
 Employed a bunch of stamps (fussy cutting), punches and buttons galore.
I really love how it turned out.
All the photo mats are 3.5x4.5 so if my pal uses
3x4 photos there's plenty of room even when I put 
embellishments near the mats.

Studio Calico stamps, various punches, Hero Art stamps, buttons
galore and cardstock.
