Good morning, crafty friends! It’s time for another Make This Project and today I have one of my all-time favorite patriotic projects to share with you! I pop in on the occasional Friday with an inspiring project that comes with step-by-step instructions and an easy add-to-cart feature to pick up any of the products you might not already have! You can check our Make This Project category HERE – it’s filled with ideas for all seasons and occasions and can be a great resource for jump-starting your next project! As I mentioned, today’s Make This Project is one of my all-time favorites and actually begins with a printable template which you can download for free at the Taylored Expressions webstore. The free download was designed with the lyrics to America the Beautiful formatted to fit exactly within the the stripes of our American Flag Cutting Plate. The design prints 2-up onto an 8.5″ x 11″ cardstock of your choice (of course, I receommend our Sugar Cube cardstock!). Then simply overlay the lyrics with the American Flag Cutting Plate and decorate to your heart’s desire! I also added the Downtown Border cut from vellum for a subtle effect and stars die cut from our Star Stacklets:
