Patriotic Inspiration – by Karen Letchworth

Published by Sharon Johnson at 6 30 am under Uncategorized

Good Monday morning as we begin a brand new week of card inspiration here at Stamp Simply. This week we will be sharing cards with a patriotic theme and Karen starts us off with 2 cards. The first card has a cleaner vintage look while the 2nd card is coffee themed and takes on a grungier vintage vibe.

Kraft, red, white and blue are a perfect mix for this clean vintage card.

The stars are from The American Eagle and Stars & Stripes Old Glory die set by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment is from The Red, White & Blue by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment was cut using Fishtail Sentiment Banners by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The designer papers are from The Fourth of July by Carta Bella and Let Freedom Ring by Echo Park.

Karen accented with faux (pen) stitching and Venise Lace – .5” Katarina Ivory.

Here’s a closer look at all the detail.

A wonderfully patriotic card!
