Every Little Bit "July" Directions

Welcome to my Every Little Bit Tutorial! If you're making the blocks along with me, "Congratulations!" After today, you'll be more than halfway finished!

July is actually the first month I designed. Originally, I knew I wanted the three stars to be right down the middle. However, after I colored and cut them out, I realized they needed a lot more than just three stars! So the block with the ribbon, tag, and three stars became the final creation. I hope you like it!

Happy Stamping!

I used the following Stampin' Up products to make July's picture:
