Home of the Brave Easel Card with Amazing Paper Grace July 2021 DOM

Hello, Friends! Let’s kick of the month of July with a red, white and blue Home of the Brave Easel Card. How much do we love the Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Club Kit this month? This Mini House Vignette Die has endless possibilities! I’ve paired it up with some great vintage patterns from Photo Play’s America the Beautiful Collection. It’s Americana Home Décor for all seasons, but especially appropriate for Independence Day.

Instead of creating the pop up box, I simply die cut the pieces from patterned paper and cut the trims from copper metallic paper to create this dimensional scene. Patriotic Star Sparkletz burst from the center of the fireworks display in the sky. Create a welcome mat for the front door by layering the “welcome” die cut over a scrap of copper metallic paper.

Adorn the stopper of the card with faded blue flowers, berries and bright red ribbon. Cut the sentiment from the center of a 4″ x 6″ journal card, pop it up on dimensionals and this little card is ready to be displayed.

A Peek Inside

The stopper for this card is actually a pocket. Create a mini gift card wallet from paper scraps. My mom always used to send our kids some ice cream money for the 4th of July, and that’s a tradition I’m happy to carry on. Stickers from the paper collection decorate the card interior.
