Happy 4th of July at Dies R Us

Hello crafting friends and welcome back. Lena here to share a Happy 4th of July card with you.

I began by cutting my card base out of cherry red card stock. This card measures 5.5" x 5.5"

Using the America Frame and the Eagle dies from Amy Designs, I made my cuts out of dark blue card stock. I took the middle cut out piece from the frame die and embossed with a Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then took my ribbon, wrapped it around this cut out and glued the whole thing back into the middle of the die.

Next I took all the pieces that were left on the eagle die and paper pieced them back into my eagle cut. This makes for a more solid image. While getting all the little pieces, I coloured the beak yellow. I used a piece of tape on the back of the eagle to keep all the little cut outs in place.

I cut out two oval mats using the Spellbinders Large Oval dies, stacked them and used them to frame my eagle.

I kept the inside of the card pretty simple. I just stamped the greeting and added a couple of stars.

Now for a quick recap of the dies I used:

Amy Designs - America Frame

Amy Designs - Eagle

Spellbinders - Ovals
