A Parade of Patriotic Projects to Celebrate July 4

Happy July 4th, my friends! In the United States, we are celebrating the annual birthday for our country. This year’s celebration is like none other. While many of us enjoy the day off from work tomorrow (when the holiday falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday). While we weren’t able to attend picnics, cookouts, parades or fireworks shows last year, some are getting out to celebrate this year. The long weekend (for some) give us many reasons to cookout with family, relax at home or complete some craft projects we’ve been meaning to make.

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!

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.

Patriotic Color Combinations

With so many great colors in Stampin’ Up!’s color families, there are lots of great combinations for the Red, White and Blue. I’ve even added some colors that are great stand-ins for gold and silver. From sophisticated to festive, here are some color combinations that might help you get started:

If you are inspired by any (or all) of these color combinations, I hope you’ll save them off to reference later.

I hope it’s a great day for you. No matter what you are doing today, I hope your day is wonderful!

Thanks for stopping by!
