Summer Celebrations - Creation #1

I feel like I have showcased the "Art Deco" cartridge  well enough and it is time to move on to another cartridge.  This time I will be showcasing and exploring the "Summer Celebrations" cartridge.  I got this one a few months ago and haven't played with it very much yet, and with summer upon us I thought it was high time to explore what it has to offer.

 

I used the card feature for my first creation.  I created this flag-shaped card with that feature and the help of Cricut Craft Room.  The flag card is 4 1/4" tall.  I used the hide contour feature in Cricut Craft Room to hide all the cuts that create the stripes and "stars" on the flag and cut a white layer in addition to the red layer.

 

 

Once the card was put together I added some white liquid pearls into the dots that make up the "stars" on the flag.  I also cut three banners from red, white, and blue cardstock of different widths and lengths.  I covered the red cardstock with red glitter.  The white cardstock has on it, a sentiment from the "Yankee Doodle Dandy" set by Scrappy Moms Stamps.

 

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut: red, white, & blue as main colors

BBTB2: patriotism - red, white, & blue
