Today we have a gorgeous card from Deb featuring our American Flag on the front and a cut out sentiment from a patriotic paper pad on the inside. Sometimes having the right paper pad is all you need to complete a quick and easy card that looks anything but. Military roots run deep in Deb’s family and she loves creating stunning patriotic themed cards – and we love when she does!

Very striking! Perfect papers to go with our lovely flag image.

The flag is from The Red, White and Blue by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Note the very subtle background word collage on the oval – also from the same stamp set.

The oval was cut with Spellbinders Standard Ovals.

May Arts Metallic String in Gold is a perfect accent on this card!

That wonderful designer paper is from Let Freedom Ring by Echo Park.

Deb stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers.

The subtle background word collage was stamped with Delicata metallic ink in Celestial Copper.

And here’s the inside using a cut out sentiment from the same paper pad.

The stars are from Patriotic Sentiments by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The musical notes are from God Will Take Care of You by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Thank you so much, Deb, for this fun patriotic themed card!

Good Wednesday morning. Jill treats us today to another quick and easy card and I especially love the color scheme on this one. She used kraft cardstock as the base layer upon which she added her softly colored pink coneflowers. I always love a card made with kraft cardstock and for some reason I just never think to pull out the kraft myself. It’s most definitely a color worth bringing to the top of the pile!

This congrats card could be used for so many purposes. Swapping the sentiment out, this would make a stunning birthday card and even a very lovely sympathy card. I love how soothing it is overall.

The florals are from Thank You for Caring Coneflower by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The congrats is cut with Congrats Grad by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Jill stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers.

Jill used a Spellbinders embossing folder. We stock embossing folders by Darice (value priced) and Tim Holtz.

This folder at just $5.00 is quite similar to what Jill used today.

Jill added some Rhinestones as perfect little accents.

Thank you so very much, Jill, for this very lovely card that has so many possibilities with a simple sentiment swap.

You can find Jill’s post on her blog here.

Today’s card from Esther put a huge smile on my face! Such a fun card with that all American home town feel. Esther created a patriotic still life scene using items from a few different sets, setting them on a wooden table, backed by striped wallpaper. She even made fun tiny little pinwheels (directions below) to add to the festive summery theme.

A wonderful way to send festive 4th of July greetings through the mail!

As to products used, we’ll start at the back and move our way forward.

The striped and star paper are from Let Freedom Ring by Echo Park.

The tabletop was created with a 3D Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz (Sizzix) called Lumber.

The sentiment is from Old Glory by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment is cut with Elegant Ovals by Spellbinders.

The stars are cut with the Patriotic Stars and Stripes (Old Glory) die set by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The pitcher and decor balls are from All Season Decor by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The books are from A Man of Knowledge by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Esther stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink.

Here is the how-to from Esther on making those mini pinwheels:

“I created some mini pinwheels by cutting a 3/4 inch square, snipping from each corner almost to the center, and folding up every other point. I glued a sequin to the center and snipped a toothpick in half for the wand.”

How clever, cute and seasonally appropriate is that!

Thanks so much, Esther, for this very lovely patriotic card.

You can find Esther’s post on her blog here.

Good morning to all! We will be featuring a lot of patriotic themed cards this week, beginning with two cards today from Karen, both featuring our beautiful flag from The Red, White and Blue bundled stamp/die set. Karen’s cards most often take on a shabby vintage flair, as is the case with her cards today. She colored the flag in such a way as to carry that shabby vintage vibe through while keeping the backgrounds nice and crisp. A GREAT combination!!!

This classic color scheme for patriotic cards is always a winner!

The stamped background as well as the flag are all from The Red, White and Blue by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

That wonderful paper is from the NEW Let Freedom Ring by Echo Park.

A fabulous card using minimal supplies.

Karen’s 2nd card uses the same set for the flag and sentiment – The Red, White and Blue by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment is cut with Fishtail Sentiment Banners by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The Pledge of Allegiance used as the background is from Scripty Mini Backgrounds SET 2 by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Karen used die cut Stars as accents along with 1/2″ Venise Lace – Katarina.

Once again that wonderful paper is from the NEW Let Freedom Ring by Echo Park.

Thank you so much, Karen, for both of these lovely cards!

A wonderful start to our week filled with patriotic projects.

You can find Karen’s post on her blog here.

Good Sunday morning. Today we are sharing a lovely sympathy card from Judy. It is bright in color with a lovely verse on the card front. Judy used oxide inks and the smooshing technique to create her background. Every time I look at this card, I see a glass window with rain dripping, puddling on the opposite side, which seems so very appropriate for a sympathy card, yet so very lovely on this beautiful floral card! Even with the rain, beautiful things come to be. A win/win for sure!

So very lovely!

That gorgeous floral is from Thank You for Caring Coneflower by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The beautiful sentiment is from Sympathy Sentiments SET 2 by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Judy stamped the floral with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with alcohol markers.

Judy stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black.

Judy used Kaisercraft Rhinestones as very effective accents on this card.

Here’s a closer look.

Thank you so much, Judy, for this very lovely sympathy card today.

Good morning! Every once in a while we have to throw in a card with some local flavor. Deb is a southern belle who married a Yooper guy and she enjoys making cards for his relatives who still live up here. I was tickled to see her UP decor piece on the wall. The visual of a wall with wood paneling and wallpaper is always a direction I love to go – LOL. It takes me back to my ‘wallpaper years’!

I also love the muted tones used here and, of course, I LOVE the decor box!

The UP map is from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The LOVE sentiment on the box as well as both inside sentiments are from the same set.

The decor box, oil bottle and pitcher are all from All Season Decor by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

That beautiful paper combination is pulled from 2 different paper pads:

Gather at Home by Carta Bella

Wood Textures by Craft Consortium

Deb stamped with Memento Inks and colored with Copic markers.

Again, the dictionary definition of a Yooper and the well known 906 are also from the same Yooper stamp set.

Thanks so much, Deb, for this fun-loving Yooper card!!!

You can find Deb’s post on her blog here.

Reading the back story to Deb’s projects is always fun!
