We are introducing and featuring lots of patriotic stamps and supplies for all of your 4th of July projects! Today's cards are all about the red, white and blue! I love the two stamp sets that I'm featuring so much. The Project Pantry for June is amazing!! I've used the 4th of July Project Pantry papers and ribbons for my cards today.

From the *te* by Taylor VanBruggen collection, we have some 4th of July Word A la cartes – There is a new one this year and it joins our ever-growing series of Word A la Carte stamps which are perfect for cards, invitations, scrapbook pages, party decor and so much more. We are also bringing back 3 previously released A la Carte stamps: Happy 4th, Celebrate Freedom, and God Bless America.  These stamps will be available for purchase and will also be part of the Release promo - choose one free for every $50 spent (before shipping and tax.) Details will be on the Specials Page.

 

 

 

I used the Project Pantry papers for this one...and that red is so rich and beautiful! I borrowed the little stars stamp from the Yankee Doodle Homestead stamp set (featured below) and stamped it all around in Versamark ink to make my own background paper!

 

 

 

I colored the stamp using the new Distress Markers from Tim Holtz! Taylor has them ALL in the store now! These are fantastic...and these two colors are the perfect Americana colors, don't you think?

 

 

 

Here is the Border Die featured above in kraft paper...

 

 

  

 

  

The next set I'm featuring today is called Yankee Doodle Homestead! It's from the Apple Doodle Ink by Doug Applegate Collection. This is Doug's Adorable Abodes #6 -concepted by Jami Sibley - Celebrate our country's freedom in style! Who wouldn't want to come to a party here? This set is for everyone who loves Americana! It's perfect for July calendar pages too! 

 

 

It was super fun to create this little 4th of July scene to share with you! Again, all the papers and the ribbon are from the 4th of July Project Pantry for this month!

 

 

 

Here are my Copic choices for this project....

 

 

 

After I colored my home, I mounted it on some foam tape. I stamped some fireworks in gold on that beautiful dark blue paper...

 

 

I love the font on the sentiments for this set - seems sort of Colonial or something to me - it's great! It's the same font on the card at the top of this post so it all works really well together. Love that about Taylored Expressions!

 

 

There are more stamp sets for today too! Be sure to check out everyone else's projects (link list below). These sets would also be great for our "Cards for the Troops" projects, dontcha think?

The 4th of July Project Pantry 411:
