Happy 4th of July to all! Thank you to Beth for asking me to be the Guest Hostess this week on this special day for the U.S.! The LSC is one of my favorites and I am happy to be here!
Today we are using this special 4th day to make cards in a uniquely “FOUR” way:
* We're making cards with mostly RED, WHITE and BLUE (any shades – yes, I know that is only THREE colors, but I am counting the “and” as the 4th word! lol!) and: * ONLY 4 layers deep (or less - including the cardstock base piece) * ONLY 4 embellishments or specialty tools (or less - a combination of 4) – examples: 1) ribbon, 2) one kind of punch, 3) another kind/size of punch, 4) one Cuttlebug EF or 1) decorative scissors, 2) one kind of Nesties, 3) another kind of Nesties, 4) Stickles * Adhesives, plain scissors and paper cutters do not count - they are necessities! Designer Paper is fine, as long as it is only R/W/B and counts as one of your layers.
Your card can be patriotic for Independence Day…. or not! Use any theme or occasion you would like! Have fun!
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges (including past challenges) at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping! Please upload only new cards for this challenge!

Gosh, I'm going to have to write all that down or I'll forget and use something extra or not enough layers. It sounds like fun.
Happy 4th of July to you all over there.
Location: My very hot stamp room, in Phoenix! It's a dry heat.

A great challenge Judy. I need two birthday cards (my two grandsons were born on July 5th. They are brothers born 3 years apart) and I was hoping today's challenge would work. Yea!

I actually made 2 of these earlier and sent them to our daughters, but they sure fit for today's challenge. If I can get to it I will make another one today.
