4th of July Box Card

This Box Card is truly exploding for the 4th of July!

Created this 4th of July Box Card using Cricut cartridge Independence Day for the words '4th of July' and Uncle Sam Hat. The box part of the card is made using Kraft americana cardstock which I like and Hobby Lobby sold but unfortunately is discontinued now. Stamped flag multiple times so I could paper piece together. Used Tim Holtz Mini Rosette. Heat embossed stamped Stampendous sentiment. Added ribbon. Used paper shredder to make some shredded red/white/blue paper.

Giving this to a friend who I play dominos with and figured the sides of the box had a dotted/domino look to it.
