July 4th Holiday Spools

This is "one" of my favorite out of the box 4th of July cards this year - these are spools from Great Impressions - paper pieced with the matching dp I used to make the frame, a bit of ribbon and three little stars to add some bling.  I think it turned out really cute and despite that it is really not a 4th stamp I made it work for this occasion.   This is  my favorite stamp from Great Impressions because it is so versatile - I have used it for a St.Patrick's card, a thinking of you card, and now the 4th of July card.  The spools are a blank canvas!!! Stampers can be so creative LOL  Challenges:
     JW Scrapshack  - anything goes
     Simply Papercrafts - anything goes
     Stamping Boutique - 1 stamp, 2 DP, 3 embellishments
     Brown Sugar - Red, white and blue
     Crafts for eternity - Red, white, and blue

                                 stamp is old, ribbon is new
     Great Impressions - use your favorite stamp

    Oh this is an awesome creation! I love how you paper pieced the spools (I'm going to go look for your St. Paddy ones too) VERY clever! Your Designer Papers are perfect as well as that ribbon and your addition of star accents, also love that texture! Well done, thanks so much for playing along with us at Great Impressions!
