Red White and Blue Fantabulous Cricut Cricut Crawl

Hello everyone I'm so excited you've joined me on my blog today. My blog is the last stop for the Fantabulous Cricut... Cricut Crawl (our version of a Blog Hop) so in honor of the 4th of July holiday, our theme is Red, White and Blue.  Each Design Team member has created a fabulous project using Red, White and Blue as the main colors, and of course at least one Cricut cut!

If you've come from my friend Rebecca's blog The Crafting Misfit, you're in the right place!  If you've just happened across my blog and would like to see all the fabulous Design Team creations head on over to Fantabulous Cricut -HERE to start at the beginning.

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog!  There will be Blog Candy along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, and there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant who submits a "Red White and Blue" project at FCCB! So remember to join in on the challenge at FCCB -HERE.

I had a fun home decor Item that I wanted to create for this crawl... but unfortunately I had a struggle with Cricut Craft Room a bit, and when I finished designing my project my computer and cricut maching just wouldn't cooporate. Hopefully I'll get it to cut this week and when I do I'll share it with you.
So instead I decided to make this cute 4th of July card using the A Child's Year cricut cartridge the image I used is on page 45 of the handbook cut at 3 3/4". I love the glitter paper it was purchased in single sheets from JoAnn's.
The border punch is from EK Success I believe it's called "Slim Edger Circle Chain".
 I used My Craft Spot Denim crinkle ribbon for my bow, the 4th of July sentiment is from the new Tiny Tags 3 stamp set that was just released on Saturday From My Craft Spot.
The banner is the Lacy Banners Metal Dies that I designed and is available from My Craft Spot.
 Side view of my card.
I used black craft foam to pop these cute kids up off the card, I love the dimension that it gave.
Thanks for taking a peek at my "Red, White and Blue" card and I'm your last stop for the Criuct Crawl.
But wait, before  you go...
I have Blog Candy that I would love to give away to one of my blogger friends.
I'm giving one of my favorite collections of Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot
