Happy 4th of July

Hello there!  I've got a fun fold card to share today.  I'm also the hostess on the Scrapbook Blessings Club blog today.  I watched this video on utube to learn how to make the cardbase for this one.  It's too fun!

Basically you start with an 11x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock.  Score it at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2".  Use a circle punch that is 2 1/2".  I don't have a circle punch so I used my Cricut and the centerpoint function along with the Plantin Schoolbook cart for the circle.

Recipe:
Plantin Schoolbook - circle @ 2 1/2", 2 1/4"  star @ 2", 1 1/4"
Cuttlebug embossing folder - stars
Stampendous stamp -inside the card
pop dots
Dress It Up buttons

Thanks for stopping by today.
