Happy 4th Card


Happy 4th of July Everyone!

Here is a fun free card idea for you!


This card is designed around the flag stamp. It ended up with an interesting shape and I love the colors. Here is what you need to make your own card!


Flag stamp: this is one I carved out of an eraser. There are lots of flag rubber stamps at scrapbook stores and online.

Cardstock: blue, dark red, white

Corrugated paper: dark blue

Pigment ink: blue, red

Pigment pens: blue, dark red

Brads: pewter squares

Paper trimmer or scissors


1 Color the flag stamp with pens and stamp on white cardstock. Trim and ink edges with blue.

2 Mat piece on corrugate paper. Trim and ink edges with red.

3 Mat piece on dark red cardstock. Trim and ink edges with blue.

4 Make a card base from blue cardstock. I chose a rectangular shape to mimic the shape of the flag. Ink edges with red. Attach brads. Adhere matted piece.

Enjoy!
