TWO SPECIAL THANK YOU CARDS

I have been so busy with cookouts, parties, road races that it is hard to believe that Independence Day was a week ago tomorrow. I wanted to share two 'thank you/4TH of July' cards that I made for two of my 'besties'. A few posts ago, I showed you a fabulous USA banner that Staci made me ~ one of these cards is for her. The other card is for a very special friend of mine Patricia who has been such a huge support to me since I started my blog and facebook fan page on October 1st. I wanted to make her something to show my appreciation for all that she has done for me.
These are easel cards featuring an American Eagle from Precious Piecings. I used a EK Success star corner and border punch on the white card stock.
Here is a close up of the card front. 
 
Here is a picture of the cards open. I am also including some extra embellishments that I made for them. I made these by using two different Martha Stewart corner punches. (I have a tutorial a few postings back.)
I just love the color combo on these. Some have pearls in the middle and I left some plain. I hope my friends love both the card as well as the flowers I am including. I really do appreciate their friendship :) Thanks for everything ladies!

    1. Thank you so much Nana. They are so super easy to make. It puts all those corner punches I have as well as my scraps to good use. The bottom layer is made from a 2 inch square and the middle is a 1.5 inch square:)
