Happy 4th of July!!

Happy Birthday, America!  I love the fourth of July.  It usually means a fun day filled with parades, BBQs, and fireworks.  Depending where in the world we're living, we celebrate on the beach, in the backyard, in the pool, or on the boat.  While the landscapes may change (or even the country that we're in), the meaning and celebration are always the same.


Here is a Happy 4th of July banner I recently made using my Silhouette Cameo and some super cute digital files from Pink Paislee.



I love all the little details in the banner, from the star embossed letters to the white faux stitching around each of the pennants!  Here are some close-ups.





Supplies:  Digital Files (Pink Paislee - Declaration); Cardstock (Core'dinations); Ribbon (American Crafts); Embellishments (Sassafrass Lass, Doodlebug); Embossing Folder (Paper Studio); Silhouette Cameo; Uni-Ball Signo Broad White Gel Pen; Adhesives (Xyron Creatopia, Xyron 2.5" Sticker Maker, Xyron Mega Runner, Glossy Accents).


As always, thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic fourth of July!!!

    This is really cute! Hope your 4th was good! Could you tell me about the white stitching on your pennants? Is it a printable? Cut that way? Thanks!

      Melissa - the white stitching is just done with the Uni-ball Signo Broad white gel pen. I've done stuff with stitching lines cut out on my silhouette before but I find that it's such a pain to get those little notches out of the paper if it doesn't cut perfectly well. So this is easier and cleaner in the end. Thanks for your lovely comment! :)
