I know I'm late for Independence Day. I was too slow to get these in on time.
For good measure, I did another.
I think these can work for those big grandsons!
I originally did these cards for JoAnn's Red, White and Blue Challenge at
Seize the Birthday but wasn't quick enough. But the challenge this time has an
option of a non-neutral card base. Woot, this fits! I do love to play options!
Now let's see if I can get this in on time...
Challenges:
Seize the Birthday: Non-neutral Card Base
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThey will be great for your 'big grandsons' Bonnie. The first card is striking and I love the design of it. Your second one is so celebratory and both have the 'Wow' factor x. Had a little chuckle about you missing deadlines....All I can say is that you are not alone! x.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to celebrate the Red, White, and Blue, Bonnie! Two fabulous, celebratory cards for those big grandsons!

Wow, two great cards to celebrate the 4th. I love the flag inside the star, that is so pretty. The fireworks are WOW and people are still firing them off around here randomly. One went off last night at 11:30!
ReplyDeleteVery festive and energetic birthday cards for your grandsons, Bonnie! I was planning to use the MFT fireworks stamp set for a 4th of July card this year, but the day was over while I was thinking of the design... Now I feel like taking out the stamp set again and making a birthday card. :-)

Great cards for July birthdays (or anytime). Love the red,white & blue color combo and the design of each card. The embossed stars and stripes background is perfect for the pretty star on your first card and I just love the fireworks on the second card. Thanks for sharing these lovelies with us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteTwo awesome red, white and blue birthday cards, Bonnie. Looks like you had a lot of fun making this celebrating cards. Loved both your designs and especially the flag inside the star and your dry embossed background on your 1st card. Awesome fireworks and glitter shine on your 2nd card. TFS, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteVery classy and patriotic cards!
ReplyDeleteTwo great celebration cards, who wouldn't love to receive one of these? xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, Bonnie and so glad it worked out to get it in for another STB challenge! Thank you for joining us!! We always love to see your cards in the gallery!
ReplyDeletePerfectly fun and colorful, your eye for masculine cards is shining
ReplyDeleteYour first card is very patriotic. I love how you installed the US flag in the star. It looks stunning. Brilliant design. Second card perfect for any party, love these fireworks.

Two great red, white, and blue cards, Bonnie! Love the one with the fireworks - that would be a great birthday card for a teenage boy. You are doing so well with keeping your creativity up - mine has taken a real dive, plus I was having computer problems and it finally died so then I had all the hassle of getting a new one and getting it up and running. I had the red, white, and blue challenge in my mind and did make a card, but forgot it was a birthday challenge and ended up making a thank you card by mistake. Oh well - I'll gear up for some August challenges.
ReplyDeleteTwo great patriotic cards Bonnie I love the fireworks version- great birthday card. your first is a great combination of stars and stripes :)
ReplyDeleteYou may be late, but better than me seeing as how I didn't do a single 4th of July card. I think these are great for guy birthday cards! In fact, I have a guy friend whose birthday is on July 4th.
ReplyDeleteRed, White and Blue. I adore that first card, the bold crisp die cuts really make this stand out and special.
ReplyDeleteThe second is full of movement and WOW! A special Birthday card.
Great cards.
