This Land Was Made For You and Me!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Beverly aka ruby-heartedmom...congrats, Beverly!!  Wow, what an awesome gallery!!  I chose this cool card to recreate....instead of using color blocking, I used four star panels cut out with the ODBD Custom USA Flag Die.  The star frame was cut out using two dies from the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Stars Dies and the inset star was cut with the ODBD Custom Sparkling Stars Dies set.  The tiny silver stars and red strip borders were leftovers from another card made with the flag die.  The sentiment is from the 'Let Freedom Ring' set.  The red strips were mitered at the corners to create the frame.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Here are the new and previously released items featured in my samples for today:

My first card features the awesome new ODBD Custom USA Flag Die, a sentiment from the 'Let Freedom Ring' stamp set, matted and framed with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Stars Dies and ODBD Custom Sparkling Stars Dies. The flag die was cut in silver, navy, red, and white, then the pieces were put together atop a piece of cardstock which I turned into a sticker with my Xyron machine. It was so easy to adhere them this way instead of gluing down one piece at a time!

My second card took about ten minutes to make....yay!  I cut a strip from one of the patterns in the new Stars and Stripes Paper Collection, stamped the Pledge of Allegiance from 'Justice for All', then glued on three tiny stars which were leftover from the ODBD Custom USA Flag Die from my first card!

My third card is a shaker card which I created with another design from the Stars and Stripes Paper Collection and the 'Let Freedom Ring' stamp set.  The designer paper was trimmed down to a 5x5 square; the shaker element was created by stamping the Star Spangled Banner onto a piece of acetate then cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Circles Dies set.  Foam tape created the wall for the silver micro-beads then another circle cut from cardstock sealed the beads in.  Some tiny silver stars leftover from the USA Flag card above were added as embellishments.

Thanks for hanging out with us!!
