Here's a fun take on a 4th of July card - why not give it a try?

The 4th of July will be here before you know it. Barbecues, parties with neighbors, fireworks - the whole celebration shebang to enjoy!

So what about trying a 4th of July card when you craft this weekend? Here's a fun take on a 4th of July card for you to try, using the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set:

When this set was first released it was sold as a bundle along with the dies. In the current annual catalog these are now sold separately: Celebrate Sunflowers #152517 and the Sunflowers dies #152704. Click here to order one or both of these products.

The rest is just paper, the Brick & Mortar embossing folder and the Stars dies. Easy peasy! Tip: this would make a fab birthday card as well - just change the colors (or not!).

Here's how to make this card at home. Happy 4th!
