When the current Stampin' Up! catalog was first introduced last summer, one of the stamp sets that was an instant favorite of mine was Independence Day. The 4th of July is probably my favorite holiday ... when celebrated in the Midwest (Iowa/Nebraska to be specific)! When we're in Arizona for the 4th (which is usually the case), it is one lame celebration! It's usually 110+ degrees, fireworks are illegal, and just too darn hot to do anything! Btw, we've been above 110 degrees the last few days ... ughhh!!!!!!!! It's so-o-o hot!I used Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) for this card. Everything on this card is pretty self-explanatory, but wanted to point out that the Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon is threaded through a hole created by the Horizontal Slot Punch, and the Real Red CS circle behind the "happy 4th!" sentiment was pierced using the Punches Plus Classy Brass Template.

Beautiful card Nancy, I knew I should of ordered this set!!! Even if I did soon, I don't think I will have it for the 4th! I LOVE your card and fun design.
Sorry to hear its really hot by you, maybe with it being so hot you get to be stuck inside and stamping LOL:)

Joan says: Nancy, I love your 4th of July card. It has so much "pop" to it; it really stands out. I did not buy this stamp set either!!!!! Thanks for all of your great ideas for us to see.

Beautiful card Nancy! I too LOVE the 4th of July, it is a little boring here in phoenix, but it is still a favorite of mine! I love this card too! Great work AGAIN!!
