Today’s patriotic card duo celebrates the 4th of July as well as the Stampin’ Up! Patchwork Pieces Dies. Each card is a splashy display of what the two Patchwork Pieces Dies can do . . . a classic starburst or “groovy” waves!
WHAT I LOVE ! Look closely at the stitched details that each piece of the dies (either style) creates. They are beautiful and rich with endless possibilities of color combinations and themes.
