Feeling Patriotic!

 

With Independence Day just around the corner, I'm feeling the red, white & blue vibe.  I've said it before, but Sending Smiles is such a versatile bundle!  Here I've used Basic White Thick cardstock, Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky.  Plus, Daffodil Delight for the flower centers & Granny Apple Green for leaves.

This is a second version - same colors, totally different look.

This one uses a background of Starry Sky Designer Series Paper.  The 2 larger white flowers are heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Starry Sky cardstock to make them "pop" against the background.  The 3 tiny flowers are cut from White Glimmer Paper - this has returned in the July-December Mini Catalog, YAY!!

Dressed up or dressed down?  What's your favorite?

Thanks for visiting today!

Red, White & Blue Thank You

My awesome team members have been making military appreciation cards this month.   I'm extremely proud of them and want to showcase their talents here:

Most of the products used in these cards are retired, so I won't be listing them here but I hope you are inspired to create something similar.  Our men & women in the military deserve all the support we can give them.  Without their sacrifices, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we have in our country. 

With gratitude,

Pat

Clean and Simple Patriotic Card

Hi Stampers,

Today I'm happy to share with you a clean & simple card to celebrate Independence Day.  Red, white & blue is such a clean & classic color combination!  I'm submitting this design to CAS(E) this Sketch #277.

Here's the sketch:

The stripes are cut from Real Red cardstock using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  I used the star die-cut from my Wood Crate Framelits to cut the stars from Blueberry Bushel cardstock.  "Celebrate" is one of the stamps in Picture Perfect Birthday, stamped in Night of Navy.  I brushed the stars with Clear Wink of Stella for a beautiful shimmer.  The small stars are Metallic Enamel Shapes (retired - sad, I know!)

Back in the day when I used to scrapbook like crazy, I collected enough 12" x 12" scrapbook papers to open my own store.  Even though I don't do much of that these days, I can't bear to get rid of those beautiful papers, so I've been using them to create my own envelopes using the Envelope Punch Board.  It's so simple - an 8" x 8" piece creates a standard sized A2 envelope.

I hope you'll visit the CAS(E) this Sketch website to see all of the great projects there!

Did you know?

You can use only part of a stamp without cutting it apart.  Carefully cover the section you don't want to stamp with Post-It sticky notes.  Ink the stamp as you normally would, then remove the sticky notes and you're ready to stamp.
