Preparing for July 4 with a Parade of 15 Cards

Happy July 3, my friends! In the United States, we are about to celebrate the annual birthday for our country. Since many of us enjoy the day off from work, many families spend the afternoon at picnics and cookouts. Many towns sponsor big parades and host fireworks shows at night.

I couldn’t find a “Happy 243rd birthday!” stamp, so I pulled some great cards that showcase

• celebrations
• patriotic themes & colors
• outdoor fun

Are you ready for a parade? Many of these projects feature products that are retired (no longer available for purchase from Stampin’ Up!), but the inspiration for layouts, colors or themes is still there. I hope you enjoy!

Celebrations

There are so many reasons to celebrate – and a “general celebration” card is always good to have on hand. It goes well with a birthday or graduation or July 4 celebration. These cards are filled with joy and celebration. You can click on any of these pictures to see the original post for each.

Patriotic Themes & Colors

July 4 isn’t the biggest card-giving day of the year, so there’s a reason why there’s not a July 4 section in Stampin’ Up!’s annual catalog. Still, it’s easy to pull together a patriotic card with the products and colors we have. You can click on any of these pictures to see the original post for each.

Outdoor Fun

We always hope for sunshine on July 4 so we can spend the day outdoors – at the park, in the yard or on the beach. These cards showcase a variety of landscapes and images that celebrate the outdoors. You can click on any of these pictures to see the original post for each.

Tomorrow is a special day – whether you are attending a parade, enjoying a cookout, chilling at home or working (some people still have to show up for their jobs on July 4), I hope it’s a great day for you. While you’re at it, make today great, too! ♥

Thanks for stopping by today!
