Hello friends! Can you believe it’s almost Independence Day? I still hadn’t made my cards for the retirement home residents, so I pulled out Bella Blvd’s Fireworks & Freedom collection. It was released several years ago but is still my favorite patriotic paper collection. Good thing I stocked up! Along with the paper, I also used the coordinating sticker and ephemera packs. No stamps at all this time!
I made a total of 46 cards using Bella Blvd’s Fireworks & Freedom collection.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All of my cards are A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Bella Blvd’s Fireworks & Freedom paper collection.
