Hi folks, 

I am back with another spectacular release from Taylored Expressions. This week, it's all about red, white and blue!! I love how well this release pairs with all the previously released products. 

My first card features the newest Firecracker Shaker die and Sticker to it - Americana. I started off by ink blending Blueberry cardstock with Oreo dye ink. Then, I used the previously released Fireworks Stamp and Stencil Combo. I started off by stamping the stars and the first layer of the fireworks with Sugar Cube dye ink. Then, I applied Silver Happy Medium using the second fireworks stencil. For the firecracker, I used Snow Cone, Buttercream, Watermelon and Cherry Pop cardstock. I ink blended the edges using coordinating dye ink and applied details using a white gel pen. Added a sticker from the Americana set and I was done!

I went with some vintage vibes for my next card! I started off by stamping Americana Split background using Snow Cone dye ink and Cherry Pop dye ink. It looked a blot splotched and I liked it that way. Then, I ink blended the edges using Oat Milk to give it that vintage textured look. For the main element, I used the A2 Postage stamp stacklets with Sugar Cube and Oat Milk cardstock. I stamped the background stamp from Fireworks stamp and stencil set on the oat milk cardstock with oat milk ink. Then, I decorated the postage diecut with a colored Gus and Gertie 4th of July, American flag and Just a number diecuts. For the flag, I use cherry pop and snow cone cardstock. For the backer, I used oat milk and sugar cube cardstock.

I hope those projects inspire you. 

Happy Crafting,
