TCC217 One Nation Under God

 

Hi Friends!

It’s time for our May #217 Patriotic Décor Challenge at The Card Concept!

I was inspired by the flags, crochet doily, vintage style of the décor and the colors for my Shabby and Vintage/ Mixed Media card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Festive Friday #FF0184 National Wine Day (Red, White, Something Shiny- Gold Twine)  and the Word Art Wednesday #698-#699 Anything Goes Challenge.

To create this card:-

Heat emboss the USA flag map image onto white cardstock using clear embossing powder and color with colored pencils/water-based markers. 

“Antique” with distress oxide ink and a splatter stamp before die cutting with the coordinating die.

Cut the two pieces of designer paper, distress the edges and adhere to a piece of navy cardstock.

Add the strip of crochet lace and layer the striped grosgrain along with the navy grosgrain ribbon.

Loop the metallic gold twine under the USA flag map image and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Repeat the embossing steps above with the “One Nation Under God” sentiment, color with colored pencils and water-based markers, die cut with an oval die, mount onto another oval die cut from navy cardstock, loop the gold twine under the sentiment and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Adhere the entire card front onto a white card base to finish off the card.

I hope you have had a chance to stop by The Card Concept to see how the rest of the Design Team were inspired as well as check out the other challenge gallery entries! Gorgeous work from everyone!

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are enjoying your week!  Today I am sharing a very easy patriotic card using stamps, dies, and paper all from Stamp Simply. 

When I first received The Fourth of July paper pad, the flag design on this piece of the paper seemed to call out to me to create a simple card so the flag design would show. 

To create this card:

Trim the flag patterned piece of designer paper from The Fourth of July 6x6 paper pad to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.

De-static the paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from Patriotic Sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Mount the panel onto white cardstock, trim and mount onto black cardstock before adhering to a white card base.

Add the strip of the remaining piece of the designer paper onto the left hand side of the inner part of the card ( I used the opposite side of the paper). 

Die cut the three stars from silver mirror cardstock using the star dies from the Stars & Stripes dies, mount onto the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

If you have not had a chance to check out the rest of my Sister Design Team cards on the Stamp Simply blog, I hope you will do so- such gorgeous inspiration from all!!

Pledge of Allegiance

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a fairly quick patriotic card created with stamps, dies, lace and paper all from Stamp Simply.  

I decided to pair two stamp sets, Old Glory and The Pledge of Allegiance along with paper from the Fourth of July from Carta Bella.

I enjoy playing along with online card challenges and will be linking this card to the Addictedto Stamps and More #466- Make Your Mark Challenge along with the Word Art Wednesday#643-644 “Anything Goes” Challenge.  

To create this card:

Trim the two pieces of designer paper (the white lined and red starred) from the Carta Bella Fourth of July 6x6 paper pad to approx. 4” x 2.5” and layer onto a piece of white cardstock.

Ink The Pledge of Allegiance stamp with Versafine Black Onyx ink and stamp onto the lined designer paper. 

Ink the Patriotism sentiment from The Pledge of Allegiance stamp set with Versafine Black Onyx ink onto the star patterned paper, heat set with a heat tool. 

Cut the dark blue lined designer paper to approx. 1 ½” x 4 “ and adhere a strip of the crochet lace behind the designer paper before adhering to the center of the card front.

Stamp the USA flag map image from Old Glory using Versafine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock, heat set the ink with a heat tool.

Watercolor the image with watercolor pencils and water-based markers before die cutting with the coordinating die (I also die cut two additional USA map images from plain white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

Mount the layered panel onto a white card base.

To finish off the card, add a strip of red starred designer paper to the center.
