Have you had a chance to check out the All-American Blast scrapbook bundle? 🇺🇸 I’ll be putting together a full workshop for you soon, but over the next few days, I’ll be sharing a few single-page designs I created for Creative Memories—and I’ll include the directions, too!

I want you to see just how perfectly this collection captures the spirit of summer celebrations and helps your stories shine!

Don't you love this combination of paper design and embellishments? Creative Memories knocked this one out of the park!

Step 1: Use Stripes paper as the base of the page.

Step 2: Cut a piece of Fireworks paper to measure 12” x 4.” Adhere to base 1” from the top.

Step 3: Cut a piece of Bright White cardstock to 11” x 11.” Adhere to base ½” from all edges. If desired, draw a doodling line around inside edges of Bright White piece. Draw three black dots at the top left and bottom right of the page on the doodling line.

Step 4: Cut a red and white stripe piece from the Border paper. Adhere 1” from the bottom of the page.

Step 5: Cut a piece Plaid paper to 12” x 2½”. Adhere directly above the red and white striped border.

Step 6: Cut a white star piece from the border paper. Adhere 1¾” from the bottom.

Step 7: Place the large Firework embellishment 1” from the top and ¾” from the left edge.

Step 8: Cut two 6¼” x 4¼” Cranberry cardstock and two 6½” x 4½” Blue cardstock. Layer the Cranberry on top of the Blue. Place the lower photo mat 1½” from the bottom and 1” from the right edge. Follow with upper photo mat, leaving 1/8” between photos.

Step 9: Place the “Proud to be an American” sticker in the center of the large Firework with 3-D foam. It is 3½” from the top and 1½” from the left edge. It will adhere over the photo. Tuck the flag heart sticker above the word “to.”

Step 10: Cut two pieces of Bright White cardstock at 4” x ¼.” These are journaling strips and they are placed against the left edge of the bottom photo and 2½” from the bottom. Place the “Fireworks & Freedom” sticker above the journaling strips.

Step 11: Place the “Independence Never Looked So Groovy” sticker with 3-D foam at the bottom right of the lower photo. Add the red solo cup and flower sticker as shown. Finish with red and blue star stickers.
