Crafting for Memorial Day and Patriotic Occasions- in Red, White and Blue

Hi crafters,

We believe in the power of creativity to bring people together and to honor the moments that matter most. As Memorial Day approaches, and with Fourth of July and other patriotic holidays on the horizon, it's the perfect time to craft with intention— celebrating the spirit of unity, freedom and gratitude.

Whether you're creating a scrapbook page in remembrance of a loved one who served, sending a note of thanks to a veteran or decorating for a backyard celebration, our collection of red, white and blue crafting items brings a timeless elegance to your patriotic projects!

From vibrant starbursts and vintage banners to iconic images like Lady Liberty and waving American flags, our various Americana ephemera and embellishments, kits and dies will add amazing detail and imagery to your paper projects. These classic motifs lend themselves beautifully to memory keeping, card making, party décor and so much more! Let the celebration begin!

Ideas to Inspire:

  • Memorial Day scrapbook pages with vintage style flags and heartfelt sentiments to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
  • Fourth of July invitations that sparkle with layered stars, bunting and bold typography.
  • Scrapbook pages documenting family barbecues, hometown parades and fireworks under the stars— each one filled with joyful memories and pops of red, white and blue.
  • Thank you notes for military families, service members or even neighbors who go the extra mile in your community.

Below are some items to inspire your summer crafting.
