Happy 4th Friends!!! Hope you’re making it a fun and safe one!!
Before I gear up for some food and fireworks, I thought I’d share a project …my last red, white an blue one for a while!
I went on a little baking rampage earlier this week and in the midst of it, I decided to make miniature cheesecakes topped with strawberries and blueberries. YUM!
For a fun twist, I baked them in a jar to make them portable and perfect for our 4th of July picnic!
Of course, I had to use a few of my stamping supplies to dress these up! I LOVE these wooden spoons from Shop Sweet Lulu – my fave party supply site!
You can customize the handle with stamps, which I love!
I tied the spoons on with torn pieces of red and blue bandanas. A cheap and functional way to include a little napkin on these treat!
Since I had a few extra cheesecakes, I thought I’d give em out as thank you gifts…so of course a few cards were in order! I used the bandanas as inspiration…
I used the Technique Tuesday Paisley Park 
set along with a white gel pen to create a bandana pattern. The PTI Say It With Style sentiments were the perfect font for these western-y cards!
