Americana Party Rosette

Are you ready for your Memorial Day or Fourth of July parties? If not, this is a perfect decoration to put together to finish off your look! Pull out your die-cutting machine and start crankin' to put this fun rosette decoration together!!!

The A Muse Studio dies make this a super easy project! First I cut two strips of cherry petite polka dot cardstock with the pointed spellbinder rosette die. The, I cut two blueberry gingham strips with the scalloped edge rosette die. I trimmed the blueberry gingham strips to 1 3/4" width so that the two would layer well so that both colors could be seen. A little red-line tape connected the ends and a little hot glue held the formed rosettes to a base circle. Stars in cherry gingham and plain cherry cardstock were layered on the rosette with the banner die cut in cherry petite polka dot draped across the front. Party from cupcake companion was stamped in cherry ink and layered on as well (some are popped up as you can see in the side view).

What do you think? All supplies (except for the hot glue) are available at www.amusestudio.com/seleise Have a wonderfully creative day!!!
