Blogger's Challenge: Wave the Flag - Red White Blue

I just knew what I wanted to do for today's challenge - I just needed a few minutes to actually do it. Since it had to be patriotic and I only have limited supplies for that (what a shame) I had this great idea for our new star shape from the "Punch Windows" die set. REALLY EASY!

I've created a box using the "Movers & Shapers" Die with the magnetic star insert, and kept the colors to red, white and blue:

and here is another view, so you can see what's inside:

To make the box, I've used 2 pieces of Brilliant Blue CS.
One piece, the insert = 5 1/8 by 5 15/16 (scored at 7/8 on all sides) AND the other piece, the "sleeve" = 4 ¼ by 10

To create the sleeve, place the star shaped die  into the movers and shaper die somewhat centered. Then place the CS over it and align it with the end of the die that has the opening, then cut! Score the CS at 1, 4 ½ and 9!

The star opening is covered on the inside with a piece of acetate.

The small stars are from the "Wanted" Stamp set, the greeting is a retired one (very old, sorry don't have a new one yet!) and were stamped in white Craft ink. I've cut some more stars with the same die, sponged the edges, attached them to the box and the blue star is popped up...

Very quick and easy!

This brings me to the point that I want to wish everyone out there HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Have a great weekend...
