Welcome friends! Today I’m excited to share my latest project for the Pajama Crafter Stamps Adventure Awaits Inspiration Hop! This special hop is filled with creative projects inspired by courage, patriotism, service, and unforgettable journeys.
For my project, I wanted to celebrate a very special milestone—America’s 250th Birthday in 2026! I created a dimensional easel card featuring a festive red, white, and blue birthday cake surrounded by adorable service members representing the various branches of the military. A loyal K9 companion adds the perfect finishing touch to this tribute to those who serve.

✨ About My Card
This easel card was designed to honor both our nation’s 250th anniversary and the men and women who serve. I combined bright patriotic colors, playful characters, and lots of sparkle to create a keepsake card that can be displayed and enjoyed long after the celebration.
The layered design creates wonderful dimension while the large “250” topper makes the occasion the star of the show.
