Happy Independence Day - Front Porch Shaped Card

Handmade Independence Day shaped card featuring a front porch with red, white, and blue decorations.

Happy Tuesday, Honey Bee friends!! Brenda here with you today sharing a shaped card featuring the Lovely Layers: Front Porch and the Lovely Layers: Front Porch Summer Add-on Die Sets!!

Happy Independence Day shaped card of a front porch with a red door, flag and patriotic bunting, Honey Bee Stamps.

I started by die-cutting all of the elements for the front porch from gray, brown, red, blue, white and gold mirror cardstock using the Lovely Layers: Front Porch and the Lovely Layers: Front Porch Summer Add-on Die Sets.

Straight-on view of the patriotic front porch card with a star and lantern, a Honey Bee Stamps card.

I added some details with a white gel pen, then adhered all the pieces together with Bee Creative Glue. The sentiment, from the Because of the Brave Stamp Set, was stamped onto blue cardstsock with Bee Creative Embossing Ink and white heat embossed. It was cut out with the Coordinating Die and popped up with foam tape.

I trimmed a note card down to 3.5″ wide by 4″ tall and adhered it to the back of the porch to write my personal message. A white clay star from the Sparkler Sequin Mix was added to the star on the eve of the porch to finish it off.

I LOVE how this turned out!! What a perfect way to wish someone a Happy Independence Day!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Wishing those of you in the US a very happy 4th of July!! Here’s to a long holiday weekend!!
