Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is some fun patriotic decorations!

SIMPLY SAID PARTY BANNER
I love these new LARGE sized party banners! They aren’t just for making garlands…although they do make those easy to make! Here’s one I used on my patriotic card just in time for the 4th of July!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Azure Afternoon cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Real Read cardstock is added on top.
- I started with a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock and added 3/8″ strips of Real Red and Azure Afternoon cardstocks spaced across the bottom two-thirds.
- I added a 1-1/2 x 4 piece of Azure Afternoon cardstock across the top.
- Let’s Celebrate from Simply Said stamp set was stamped with Real Red Ink on a 1/2 x 4 strip of Basic White cardstock, then added under the Azure Afternoon to hide the seam.
- Everything was cut with the seventh from largest Party Banner Die (run back and forth several times to cut thru all the layers). It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The stars from the A Little Cheer Punch Pack were punched from Basic White cardstock and added across the top randomly.
- Some gold Low Profile Dots were added on each side of the greeting.

LOVE how this turned out!!! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
