Peace Love America Patriotic 4th of July Free Digital Designs Show Your Patriotism

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

I designed this fun design last year and I'm giving some of it away, today. Can ya just imagine what America would be like without patriotism? Maybe a bit of what it looks like, today? (IMHO) You can't push patriotism aside and expect your country to be a true, safe, democracy lead by the people. Patriotism is the glue that holds a country, a culture or even many cultures, together. A country is only as great as the love for that country from the people living in it.

The above design is the freebie. If you want the word art and or a Commercial Use version, pop over to the shop.

The words, "Baby" and "God Bless America" are not included in the freebie.

I put a lot of 4th of July designs in Plus at Design Bundles. Here are just a few and there's much more. Type in "4th of July scrapbooking" and most if not all of it will show up. Otherwise try, "4th scrapbooking template".

Word Art

There are plenty of paper packs, too.

Go crazy with The Cherry's designs at Plus and Kreative Design Bundles. See if this link still works for a free month Plus membership.

If you're happy where ya live. Love where you live. If you love where you live, you are a patriot.

Have a wonderful holiday, my fellow Americans! Stay true! Stay proud and show the world that America can be a model for the world. We should be standing up to the world's tyranny not participating in it. If any country can do it, it's the U.S.A.

Happy scrapping!

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

The idea is that you print out the page size desired 8x11 or 12x12 inches. I've got the pngs for ya as well. This way you can do all kinds of things with them. Including sublimation ideas like cards, stickers, mug designs and more.

Add some glitter for serious attention grabbing POW!

A Free Exploding Box Card for Dad It's So Easy

Howdy, Crafters and welcome to The Cherry On Top.

If you've been following me through the years, you may have seen this before. I used to work for Plus at Design Bundles where you can find another version of today's exploding card for dad. You'll find more coordinating goodies in Plus and I'm showing them off further in the blog.

Let's see just how easy this project is, take a look at other coordinating goodies and find out what you've missed the last few entries.

Exploding box cards are one of my favorite paper craft projects. They are crazy easy!! You hardly need any supplies and you can use exploding box cards in different ways. Let me walk ya through it.

You can choose to do it all digitally or you can print, cut out the template and add your photos to the paper template. I did mine digitally. You can get an up close look.

Here's the first, second and third page.

You could print your pages back to back.

Each page template is slightly smaller so it fits nicely in the box.

Consider the weight of paper you want to use. You can use cheap printer paper. No problemo! If you use a slightly heavier weight or one with a touch of shine or gloss, you'll project will look a lot better and it'll give the box a more rigid quality look. Don't use too thick a paper weight. Ya want it slightly flexible.

This project can be put together in well under an hour, depending on your skills. You don't need any skills and ya hardly need any supplies.

- printer

- template

- scissors

- adhesive

- gift card/cash/something for inside

If ya wanna go digital, you'll need a program or online service to fill in your photos. You can totally use the free software in Plus. I've got a few tutorials on how to use DesignScape and my templates.

Once you've filled in the template with your photos, cut out the easy cross shape and fold as shown in my previews.

Cut out the lid and gently fold where indicated. Use a dot of glue to keep the corners in.

As you can see, the opposite side of your template will be blank. As I mentioned, you could print back to back to avoid the white pages. You could also fill each square with a large photo. That would be really easy. I do have coordinating papers that you can find in the shop. They are linked up a little further in the blog.

You can easily add a small gift or gift card in the box.

Here are some stickers I designed that coordinates with today's project.

Grab them from Plus.

Check out the papers in action on this quick and easy digital scrapbooking page.

Look closely. Do ya see the joke?

Here's another mega easy and super fun paper project you can find in Plus.

I got the idea from an old blog I did years ago. Here's the generic version with the free template. I've also got a manly, BBQ version with a tutorial. You can find it, here.

Here are a few freebies from the last couple of blogs.
