Patriotic Star Shaped Card

Hello my blogging buddies!  I have been at the beach for the last 3 days, so that's why I haven't posted....  We went to Morro Bay and Pismo Beach, which are both beaches here in California.  I live about 3 hours away from the coast, and my husband and I decided we wanted to go camping, so we packed up the car and went!  :)  It was fun, but I am also excited to be home and, of course, crafting again!!!  I made this cute little patriotic card to (you guessed it) enter into a few challenges.  There are a lot of challenges going on right now that have the red, white, and blue theme.  I love this theme, and I have already made one patriotic card this year (you can see it here).  Well anywho, enough rambling, here is the card.... It's good to be back! :)

Cupcake Inspirations- create a card using the cupcake picture
My Craft Spot- use a star

Paper Playtime- use red, white, and blue & a stamp (I stamped the Happy Fourth sentiment)

Cricut Cardz- use a flag
Fantabulous Cricut- red, white, and blue
Whimsical Wednesday- patriotic, use bling, buttons, or brads (I used little star brads)
My Sheri Crafts- Independence Day
Scrappy Moms Stamps- use a patriotic cut
Use it Tuesday- use red, white, and blue & something from your stash (I used these brads for the first time)

Cricut cartridges used:

Graphically Speaking- Star cut at 5" (I welded two 5" stars together to make card base)

Independence Day-  I {heart} USA cut at 2.53", flag cut at 1.24"

My Pink Stamper stamps- Happiest Moments

Fiskars blue glitter gel pen

White gel pen

Star brads (The Paper Studio)

On the I {heart} USA, I cut it twice and then cut the heart out from one of the cuts, then I traced and filled in the inside of the letters with my blue gel pen.   

Hope you enjoy!  :)
