Hi everyone! Laurie here from Stamping Up North wishing you a Happy 4th of July!

It's time to celebrate with some of Cheery Lynn's AWESOME patriotic dies, and I have 2 cards to share with you today.

For both cards I used the Proud USA die. I cut them out and did some paper piecing.

I also adhered the letters USA from the Life's a Beach die:

Ok, I know you are wondering where I got the "U" from Life's a Beach. I cut just a bit off of the A, and turned it upside down..lol!

Then I adhered them both onto some pierced stitch and cut rectangles.

For the top card I used the Celebrate pop up die....I love to cut it off and use it for a sentiment.

For the bottom card I used the Chevron plate as a fun background.

Cheery Lynn Happy 4th of July Cupcake by Laurie Schmidt

Laurie here from Stamping Up North sharing a 4th of July card with you today featuring Cheery Lynn's sweet cupcake die.

Cupcakes have been so popular the last few years, the flavors and designs are endless. I love going to our hometown cupcake store and picking some out for special occasions. It's always so hard to choose! I was inspired by some cute red ,white and blue cupcake liners to make this 4th of July cupcake for my card.

I added a bow from the Christmas Wreath set.and some little pierced stars for decorations. I love the swirl design on the cupcake icing, and thought about doing some inlaying. Instead I kept it all red so the stars would really show. I backed it on a pierced circle, and added a few more stars and an enamel dot in the center of the bow. I didn't add a sentiment, as there was already one on the designer paper.

I had so much fun with this card, that I made a bunch more...birthday cupcakes, Christmas cupcakes, and some Halloween. I'm putting together a set and hope to share them soon!
