Good morning! It’s July 1st and that means that all of Canada is having a party. Our young country is 145 today :) So I had to dig out my maple leaf ribbon that really only seems appropriate today. When I saw this week’s Retro Sketch, I thought it would be fun to use it for my Canada Day card and post :) I was going to make all the sweet little hearts maple leaves, but the ribbon had enough! LOL I’m using my favourite Stampin’ Up! Canadian set “Glorious and Free.” I stamped the “Made in Canada” in Going Gray ink, then stamped it off twice before stamping on the paper to make a kind of watermark effect. I took a little liberty with the sketch so I could make those red side panels, meant to mimic our flag. Thanks for stopping by! I’m off to the celebrations downtown…don’t wait up, eh!

Y'know I love that ribbon and that stamp, Diva! Makes my Canadian lovin' heart skip a beat!
Happy Canada day! We've celebrated by having a good dollop of maple syrup on our pancakes tonight - does that count?! Also been watching an amazing documentary about Western Canada - I'm still drooling over the beautiful panoramic shots! Stunning!

a belated happy Canada day. That watermark stamp is really effective and the ribbon is great for the day!
Happy Canada Day a day late! Hope you had a fun day. Your card is super, I love how you made the sides red like your flag. We get a day off on Wednesday, and then head to the beach for a family reunion on Saturday. Should be fun! :-)
Belated Happy Canada day! Love the card! Makes me feel so patriotic!
I'm going to need that SU set!! Not much specific to Canada out there! Love the ribbon and how you made your card look like our flag! Happy Canada Day!
