4th of July – card and necklace

Filed Under DT: Kriss, Holiday: 4th of July, Jewelry, People, Summer

Ok, so it’s a little bit after the actual 4th of July but as Kriss so poignantly said when she wrote me, Patriotism is good to have all year!

Kriss created this wonderful matched set – an ever so cute card using part of the “For the Brave” stamp and an adorable necklace as well.

She sent along great up-close photos, so please do click on any of the pictures to get a closer look. And below you’ll find detailed instructions so you can have fun making these too.

Very cute how you created stripes with strips of red cardstock (and environmentally friendly too, good way to use up scraps right?). Hope you had a Happy 4th.
