I have been working on this awesome patriotic banner.  Here is one of the pieces that I just love.  This 3-D Star I cut with my Pink Cricut from an Svg kit called Made in the USA from Svgcuts.  I love love love this kit.    I used a great paper kit that I got from Michaels for all of these patriotic projects called Americana from K&Company.  Love it so much too, all are double sided papersand it cuts like butter on my cricut.  The Red Glitter on the Star is actually glitter foam.  I didn't have a deep cut blade but I went ahead and cut it on my Cricut anyway twice and then went over the cut marks with scissors to finish the cuts.  I love the raised red foam glitter parts, it really sets the star off on my banner.  I added two buttons tied together with a blue string for the middle.
