Hi Friends!
Today I am sharing a card created with the brand new Red,
White and Blue Bundle and the new God Bless
America 6x6 Paper Pad by Carta Bella along with dies/other supplies (from
Stamp Simply )!
The Red,
White and Blue Bundle is such a great set! I love the flag image as well as the coordinating
dies and the wonderful sentiments and it pairs beautifully with the other patriotic
sets from Stamp Simply as well as
with the God Bless
America 6x6 Paper Pad by Carta Bella.
This past Monday, we celebrated Memorial Day with picnics, family get-togethers
(especially this year with COVID restrictions being lifted), etc. and sometimes in doing so, we forget the real meaning of the holiday.
In honor of Memorial Day, I decided to create a “Thank You for Your Service” card- remember,
Freedom is not
free- may we never forget their sacrifice.
This is a fairly simple design and I was able to incorporate the Splitcoaststampers
SC850 Sketch and am also linking this card to the Festive
Friday #FF0085 Challenge (stars, stripes, flag dies, embossing ) , the C.R.A.F.T.
#600 “Masculine” Challenge and the Word
Art Wednesday #493-#494 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
To create this card:
Emboss a piece of white cardstock using the Tim
Holtz 3D Lumber embossing folder, trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”, mat onto a
piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” navy cardstock and mount onto a white card base.
Mount the flag die cut onto navy
cardstock and trim close to the edge. (FYI- I extended the length of the flag die
cut by splitting it in half since the cut would be hidden by the main panel). Adhere the flag to the background panel.
On a piece of white cardstock, repeatedly stamp the word block image
from Red,
White, and Blue stamp set using Versamark
ink, apply white embossing powder, heat set with a heat tool. Trim the panel, tear the lower edge by hand,
mount onto navy cardstock, tear the edge to match the embossed panel, distressing
the edges.
Add a strip of the star design from the God Bless
America paper pad (this
strip was the piece that I trimmed from the page that normally would be
discarded- again cut in half where the hole is at the top of the paper pad and
split to reach both sides of the panel).
Stamp the sentiment from the Red,
White, and Blue stamp set using navy ink onto white cardstock, die cut with
the Fishtail
Sentiment Banners dies (die cutting two additional flags from white
cardstock to mount behind the sentiment).
Add to the panel with dimensional foam.
Stamp the flag image from Red,
White, and Blue stamp set using Versafine
Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock, heat set with a heat tool.
Color the flag with watercolor pencils and use a water brush to blend
the colors.
Die cut the flag image with the coordinating Red,
White and Blue Flag Die (again, cutting two additional flag shapes from
white cardstock to mount behind the stamped and colored flag image).
Mount the layered flag onto the card front with dimensional foam and add a few silver rhinestones to finish off the card.
