1776 – Celebrate the USA – by Deb Felts
Patriotism runs deep in the veins of Americans and the season to celebrate our patriotism seems to run all summer long, though for the true patriot it runs 24/7/365. And in just one more year our country will celebrate its 250th birthday – WOW!! Here at Stamp Simply we have a wonderful and fully coordinated assortment of patriotic stamps and dies and Deb has used a few of them on today’s wonderful project.

What an absolutely stunning patriotic card!!!
This is a mini-slimline measuring 3.5″ x 6″.
Starting with the subtly stamped background, Deb used the collage stamp from The Red, White and Blue by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.
The bell on top is from Liberty Bell by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.
The USA is from Old Glory by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.
The small tag was cut using Tag Collection by Tim Holtz (Sizzix).
Those large and fun numbers are cut with the Countdown dies by Tim Holtz (Sizzix).
All designer paper used is from Let Freedom Ring by Echo Park.
The bow is made using 1/2″ Wrinkled Ribbon in Burgundy and a heart button from Deb’s stash, along with a bit of Kraft Baker’s Twine.

The inks Deb used for stamping and accenting are:
Memento Espresso Truffle
Delicata Celestial Copper,
along with some red and blue for sentiments.
She colored with her Copic markers.

Aren’t those numbers fun when done in the patriotic papers!

And here is the inside.
The inside sentiment is from The American Eagle by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

And Deb made 2 extra very tiny cards using the cut-off from her card base and applying cutouts from the paper pad used. Waste not, want not!
The tags were made using sentiments and stars from the sets above-mentioned and linked.

Thank you so much, Deb, for this absolutely fabulous partriotic card!!!
