Hi friends! Happy Saturday and Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Hope you have loads of fun things planned for the weekend. I worked six days in a row this past week and so I am beyond ready to have a few days at home and some crafty time! Before I get too far I just want to say, THANK YOU for your service to our country if you are a Veteran, a miltary wife, sister, mom or friend! My husband and I are both the children of veterans and we always try to be very patriotic and thankful that we live in America. And we try to acknowledge the meaning of this holiday!
Update about Gallery Idol – I didn't make the top 20… But some of my blogger friends did, so I'm more than happy to sit back and watch what they create and enjoy the process of choosing the next Idol! Thank you again for giving me so much encouragement about this! XOXO
First thing this morning I could not wait to get crafty! I went straight in the craft room still in my pajamas. Just put my hair in a scrunchie and grabbed the cat! The hubs was nice enough to make a Starbucks run so I have creative fuel. I decided today to make Patriotic cards.
This card was super quick and easy and I love how clean and graphic it is. Can't go wrong ever with the red, white and blue! The flag is a new cutting plate from Taylored Expressions! LOVE. The sentiment is also new from Taylor this past month. I stamped the sentiment with Stayzon ink on vellum. SO crisp!
I added some tiny silver Doodlebug stars so I could put some glue under my vellum -that's a good trick! Then I mounted the whole flag onto some kraft cardstock. Easy peasy!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Love this card, Wanda! Love the vellum overlay. Nice touch!
I just ordered this cutting plate. This is the best idea I’ve seen yet! Thanks for sharing. Of course I didn’t receive it in time to use for this weekend, but I’ll probably have it all “warmed up” for Independence Day!
My Sunday School Class always makes cards for our Veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day! The soldiers (now all retired) really enjoy them.
Indeed, you can never go wrong with the red, white, and blue! This is adorable, Wanda! LOVE the flag background and LOVE the vellum sentiment overlay. Gorgeous!
I adore this cutting plate! I’ve always pined for the perfect American flag… this may be it!
