Happy 4th! I know it's a bit early but I wanted to share a quick and easy way to create stamps for any occasion. Right now I have - America, the beautiful, Old Glory and that American Pride on my mind. We live in an incredible country with blessings and opportunities that create a well-lived Life as we pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are truly blessed by God, the founding fathers and those men and women who have and continue to protect and to defend our nation. On to the fun.. You can do this with any foam stickers or use foam to create your own. But when I saw these foam stickers at the $1 section of Target, I knew that I could make some quick star stamps. Here's how....

The paper ribbon is made with the star border and then inked the paper to give it an aged look.
