Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans!

I hope everyone who celebrates the 4th of July had a safe and enjoyable day yesterday!

In honor of the 4th I thought I’d use the new

Crafter’s Essentials 1 dies to share a patriotic birthday card with you!

The Crafter’s Essentials dies have 13 individual dies in the package and there are literally an endless number of combinations available for making cards.  These dies are a cardmaker’s best friend! There is a great picture showcasing 9 different sketches as examples using these dies in the picture shown below.

My card was a quick and easy one to make and I decided to use quite a few different embossing folders on the card to give it a lot of texture.

I used polka dot folders on the card background and mini polka dots on the letters from the Condensed Lowercase Alphas.

The smaller white panel was embossed with a brick background folder and the circle die was run through my paper crimper to give it some texture as well.

I heat embossed my sentiment from Everyday Brush Strokes on to the blue strip across the circle in white.  I popped the circle, stars, white panel, sentiment and letters on foam tape to give it even more dimension.  Here is a picture of all the supplies used.
