Scrap-lift “Monday”: Festive flag thank you card

Today certainly feels like Monday after celebrating an enjoyable holiday weekend! If you’re looking for a festive way to thank the hosts of a backyard BBQ or other holiday gathering, consider this red, white and blue inspired thank you card! Over the weekend, we honored the American flag and wouldn’t you know, paper-crafted flags are all the rage right now too! Create your flag base using patterned paper or cardstock, layer with sparkly glitter sticker letters, and adhere to your card with Pop Dots and natural twine. From there, grab your favorite coordinating scraps and creatively layer for a “piecy” effect. To avoid a really linear look, create small tears in one of the layers and rub lightly with chalk ink. Then, grab your favorite border punch (mine is Threading Water by Fiskars) to complete the layered chain. To finish, add a touch of bling with small gold metals. While the card takes minutes to make, you’ll make a lasting impression on your hosts with your festive token of appreciation!
