Hello card crafters! We hope you have had a fabulous summer so far!  Today's challenge is inspired by the holiday we just celebrated in the USA--the Fourth of July which is all about red, white, blue, Stars AND Stripes.  Now while this challenge is about the Stars AND Stripes, you can use any color AND any theme as long as your card has BOTH Stars AND Stripes!  Also, your card must be A2 size (4.25" x 5.5") and flat enough to fit in an envy for mailing.

Our designers have come up with a wonderful assortment of themes using Stars AND Stripes.  Enjoy their creativity and please click the link by each Designers name to visit their blog for more details.
