A Card for a new soldier…

Today's card is a patriotic card I made for a young, brand new soldier. One of my favorite things to do is custom cards for people. (Actually it probably is my favorite kind of card to make!) A really nice lady I work with has a son who is in boot camp right now. She had me make a card to send him, to let him know he is sorely missed at home. Also, today is Pearl Harbor Day, so I thought I would post this card in tribute to all our veterans, current and past. It was nice to get out some other stamps besides snowflakes and trees and ink up some stars and stripes!

The font for the word Jeremy is called "Top Secret" and I found it on dafont.com! I love that site…free fonts everywhere! I am sort of a font junkie and I always will look to find just the perfect one to fit the idea I'm cooking up. Definitely check it out. I highlighted the link for you!

Partial supplies list… The stamp set is called Vintage USA and is from Close To My Heart. I like the vintage-y masculine feel to the set. Three different sizes of stars and love the flag image. I also used my versamark ink for the stars that are on the red paper background. I forgot to put that in the photo.

I jazzed up the envelope (just a little!!) to make it match the card. Printed his name larger and matted it on a piece of navy cardstock. Went a bit crazy with the stars… 

I printed the inside on the computer also and then left some room for writing…added some of the patterned paper to tie it together. I hope he likes the card and that it reminds him that he is doing a good thing! 

 
Lots of love, until we meet again…
