When designing a card it is all about experimentation and sometimes throwing things out to make a better product. I can already see something I would change. But there is also a time to stop making changes. It is like coloring. Sometimes too many changes can be too much. The only things I would change with the card is no glitter on the white stars just on the blue background. 
Here are all the components to my design. My white card stock was a little heavier. Next time I would turn the cut dial more toward fabric for that. The other cardstock was fine. I had to cut a little with the cricut scissors.
I used Tombow Adhesives to glue all the componets.
I have used Tombow adhesives for years. They recently sent me this adhesive. It is smaller and sticks better than the old one I have.
Then I colored in the letters with Tombow alcohol markers. I did not love the red of the marker on the blue. 
I colored over it with a white Posca marker. And then colored over it again with the red Tombow Marker. It matched the flag so much better. I colored in the flag and used a white Posca marker for the stars. Those were my favorite. If I was doing it over again. I would use a ruler for the stripes. They are a little off.
Then I grabbed the only glue I could think of and attempted to add glitter.
I did not get a picture, but it went horribly. I could not see the letters. I ripped off the red cardstock and put a new one over it. I actually ended up liking it because then it was just on the blue. If I did this over again I would glitter the blue first and then tape down the red cardstock so the glitter would only be on the blue paper.
Here is the end result, almost.
