with the right decorations makes it even more fun and festive
for everyone that is attending your event...

so with that in mind we have ideas for you from an adorable

silverware caddy and banner to invitations to announce the fun event!!

"Silverware Caddy" by Kim Holmes

Kim made this super adorable silverware caddy from

an old pop bottle carrier that she had laying around. She covered it
and added stickers and then filled it with lots of utensils for
all her guests to use for the party.

Made from:

"Liberty Star" by Debbie Sherman

Debbie used purchase cardboard star and covered it
with pieces of patriotic papers in alternate colors. For the
center and title she used a Spellbinders die and put on one of
our stickers and layered the hat and ribbon on top of that.
To hang it up she added cute matching ribbon.

"Celebrate" by Petra Offrell

Petra created this card to show that you can also

use this paper to make it for someone to just

celebrate their day! She used the balloons as the backround and

mixed it with a bit of the matching stripe and stitched it to a blue backround.

Then she added the tiny banner and word stickers to finish it off...

Party invitation by Nicole Wise

Products Used: BGP216, GCS007, IA006, IA009, IA013, IA014

Description: This fun gatefold card is a simple and easy invitation

to your 4th of July Barbecue! I just scored and folded my cardstock

and layered on the patterned paper. Then, using some Glitter Cardstock,

Basic Glitter Paper and layering a Chipboard Piece and a Cardstock Sticker,

I created the rest of the front of the card and concealed the closure

for the gate card underneath. Inside is all of the important information

about the party and some more fun paper from the I {heart} America line!

"USA Banner" by Shannon Morgan

What party is complete without a gorgeous banner to hang up for a
decoration!! Shannon created this using circles as the backround and then
layered it with stars and make her own handmade letters for the USA.
She drew around each of the pieces with pens to outline them and make them
pop up more. Then all she needed was some cute ribbons and ric rac to finish it!!

"Independence Day" by Sandy Ang

The paper pads are really fun because they each

come with 2 sheets of paper and it makes it easy

to cut out and layer images and pop them up with foam dots

to make your projects a little more 3 dimensional.

"4th of July Mini Book" by Julie Walton

Julie created this fantastic chipboard mini album to
hold the adorable photos of her grandson who just
happened to be born on the 4th of July so it was just
the perfect line to make this book with!!
