Grateful

Happy Memorial Day!!  And in honor of those who this day is for, I have a simple Gratitude card.  My city holds a Memorial Day Parade every year.  And my card sort of reflects the Hometown feel of that.

 

Stampin' Up!, Sending Love, Bright Skies, Layers of Beauty, night of navy, real red, jackie beers

 

Stamps

There is a real mix of stamp sets for this card.  My first idea was for a flag.  The only thing I could find was the Sending Love stamp set and the post mark wavy lines.  I got creative and made a flag from that.  I added the stars square and cut out just a section of the lines.  My stars are dabs of White Craft Ink dotted on the blue with the tip of the smallest scoring ball from the Take Your Pick tool.  It is not perfect, but I thought it was pretty good.

Then it was figuring out what to place the flag on.  With the Sending Love set out, I thought why not a mailbox.  And so the card was born.  The mailbox is from the same set.  I added flowers, sun, and clouds from the Bright Skies stamp set.  And the Grateful is from the Layers of Beauty set.  I masked of the “for you” which is underneath grateful, inked, removed the tape, and stamped only the one word.  Not sure about you, but I always hold my breath for that stamping, afraid more than what I want will stamp!

Colors

The colors used are the traditional Red, White, and Blue.  But with the added green grass and yellow sun.  Real Red and Night of Navy are beautiful traditional colors and help this card to pop.  And you know I love to color, so the red and blue mailbox was an easy choice for me.

 

Thank you for stopping in today!  I hope you can have an enjoyable family and friends gathering.

Celebrate

I try to always make a flag card for the July 4th and other Flag related celebrations.  Today’s is a mix of stamp sets and not quite as special as some of the past ones.

I used unexpected stamp sets for this one.  It includes the Birthday Background and Itty Bitty Birthday, as well as the Twinkle Builder Punch.

I will share the previous year cards as well.

 

For the background I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Blueberry Bushel and Real Red to color the stamp and repeat it over the card stock.  The flag is made by stamping twice in Real Red.  The blue is sponged and then I added stars from the Twinkle Builder Punch.  I have the complete list of products at the bottom of the post.

Here are the previous Flag Celebration cards.
