Beyond Grateful Patriotic Card

 

Last night's Facebook Live I had to pay tribute to those who served and those who have fallen. Memorial Day not only is the kickoff to summer, a long weekend of family & friends picnics, but also a time to remember those that made the biggest sacrifice for our freedom. I salute you and your families and say "I am beyond grateful".

My card features, once again, 1/2" strips of cardstock (Basic White and Sweet Sorbet). The blue is Starry Sky. The new In Color DSP with the polka dots was perfect to represent stars. I adore the Charming Sentiments Bundle...so many great sentiments AND dies to cut them out!! Watch my video below to not only see how I created this card but also a tip regarding this bundle. 



MEASUREMENTS:
Thick Basic White - 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored & folded at 4-1/4", 1/2" strips
Sweet Sorbet - 1/2" strips
Starry Sky DSP - 2 x 2

Let's Set Sail

 

On Facebook we have a wonderful team! Each week a challenge is posted and I do my best to play along. Last week's challenge was to use a stamp set that hasn't been used yet. YIKES, I'm sad to say I have several that fit the bill!! I actually used 2 here, Let's Set Sail and Celebrating You. I also haven't used the DSP New Horizons nearly enough so why not put it to use too. Here are all the details for this card:
