Saturday Blog Hop: Red, White & Blue Celebration

Hello! Thanks for joining us on our Create with Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop! We love creating for you to give you some inspiration in your own crafting.

Did you know that we're on Instagram? You can follow us here @createwithstampingfriends.

Today's a big day for our American friends - Happy 250th! We are taking today to celebrate the 4th of July with Red, White & Blue themed cards. We had Canada Day here on Wednesday and I feel like this card would work well for celebrating any fun summer event.🍓

Products Used

• Colour Combo: Real Red, Misty Moonlight and Basic White of course!

• Bundle:  'Made with Sweetness.' I feel like the whole 'Homemade Sweetness' Suite will be something I come back to every summer!
