Happy 4th Card

I made this easel card to send to my nephew for 4th of July, printed out the pattern twice. Cut out the top twice and pop dotted it on the card. Cut out some fireworks from the "Independence Day" Cricut Cartridge and pop dotted them. Had to add some red, white, and blue stickles.

"our lil' FIRECRACKERS"

I have the PERFECT picture of my 2 little granddaughters to put on this layout! They are both lil firecrackers, all the time! The font is called "FOO", I created the wording in my Fairy Cut program and then cute it out. Also, used some fireworks from the Cricut Cartridge "Independence Day". I used the firecracker cut file from LSHD and cut it out with my Cricut and Fairy Cut program.
