Find my Fantabulous Cricut Challenge post YOU ARE HERE!
Happy Monday All:
Hope you had a terrific weekend. Although it was cooler, it was still hot and muggy here.
I am so excited. This is my first post as a member of the FCCB Design Team! I am so honored to be counted among the talented designers on our team. Stop by FCCB and join in on this week's challenge and take a peek at my Design Sister's blogs as well.
This week we are celebrating July 4th!!! Challenge #118 is Kaboom! Fireworks Celebration. This card will be the only fireworks going off for me, as we are so close to being in drought status again in our area.

Here is the recipe for my Kaboom project:
Size: A2 (4.25" x 5.50")
- Red mat - cut @ 4" x 5.25"
- Firework mat - cut @ 3.75" x 5"
- Small red mat - cut @ 1.50" x 5"
- Small white mat - cut @ 1.25" x 5"
Fireworks: WILD CARD, pg 59, Star cut @ 4" (Real dial size) using Icon feature, cut 3 times
Cardstock: The Paper Company
Patterned Paper: Provo Craft (Pathways Creative paper - Americana pack)
Ink: Tsuneiko (Rich Cocoa - Momento)
Accents: Recollections (Mini Star Brads)
Stickers: Me & My Big Ideas (Firecrackers and Star Border - Patriotic Kids Borders) and (Yellow Star - Patriotic Sayings)
Adhesives: Scotch (ATG) and Xyron (Xyron 150)
I cut the Fireworks cut on WILD CARD three times, once in each color. I then cut each of the fireworks out on the red and blue cuts. Using the top of the middle firework I cut the top off of the red and blue and angle cut to make the pieces to create a spiral look. I think they turned out really cute.
Drop by FCCB and enter your Kaboom! creation.

Great card! I love how you tied it all together on the inside. Enjoy your holiday and the remembering of your father and what a "fire cracker he was". My grandfather was like for me as well. :-)

Such a festive card, inside and out. I understand your feelings about the holiday. My Daddy passed 7 years ago on July 5th. We were called just before midnight on July 4th though, so it's a bittersweet holiday. He was quite a firecracker too. Here's to them. Thanks for sharing with BBTB2. xxD
