Stars & Stripes Christmas Quilt

We're still creating with Stars & Stripes at Jingle Belles this week.  I grabbed my 1 1/4" square punch and started going through my holiday paper punching anywhere I found stars or stripes.  I didn't really have a plan in mind, but hoped that when I saw all of those squares, something would come together.

As I moved them around on my studio table, I decided I would try to piece together a quilt-like background  on a kraft card base and this is what I came up with.

I used some circle bling to highlight the one red glitter star and then added three gold glitter foam stars for a bit more bling.  I finished with the typewriter holiday elements sentiment from Memory Box.

I'm also linking-up at Make My Monday where they also have a Stars and/or Stripes theme.

It's also Christmas in July at Shopping our Stash.
