Good morning, good morning! As we head into this three-day weekend to celebrate the birth of our nation, I figured I’d share a quick and easy, patriotic-themed card with you. And since I know you’re getting ready to head out of town, or get to the grocery store to buy ingredients for the cook-out on Monday…I’ll get right to it! 🙂
I used the Swirly Scribbles Framelits and some silvery stars and the Thoughtful Banners bundle – along with the Lucky Stars TIEF. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! If you’ve come over from Amy Koender’s blog – welcome! If you’re one of my regulars – welcome back! 🙂
Today’s card is another shutter card – I made it to share with our Amy’s Inkin’ Krew meeting later today.

Jari Francis, Sue Prather and I will be “card-making-in-public”. Which I sincerely hope won’t be like doing math in public! 😉
I’ve made a few shutter cards for you – and I’m going to be revising my tutorial. I think I’ve found a little easier way to get the inside sentiment installed – I’ll share that in this post and then update the Tutorial. Stand-by for that, okay?

I started by making a Basic Black gate card base – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and score and fold at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″. Then I cut two pieces of the Floral Boutique paper and matted each of them on a piece of Night of Navy (it’s hard to see – but there really is a navy blue mat!). I SNAILd them both to the front gate panels of the card. Continue reading
