A Starry Thank You Card

Happy Fourth of July! A big Thank You to all those who have served and are currently serving our country. 

With the wonderfully long holiday weekend, My mom and I were able to get a few cards done! It was super fun having a crafting weekend. So, here is another card  Inspired by Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog's theme: Add Some red/white/ and/or Blue and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Theme: Stars and Stripes. My mom wanted to say thank you to all who have served in and are currently serving in the Military.  

Here is the card:

She started with a 8 1/2" x 11" white cardstock to cut for the card base. 

She cut the cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored the card in the middle at 4 1/4".

She used a dark navy blue cardstock for the background cut at 5 1/4" x 4".

She used Lawn Fawn fruit Salad blue checked patterned cardstock and Echo Park - Let Freedom Ring star patterned cardstock. She cut the larger (top) patchwork pieces to 1 7/8" x 3 1/4" and the smaller (bottom) patchwork pieces to 1 7/8" x 1 3/4". 

The Thank you bases/tags were die cut out of navy blue and silver cardstock scraps.

My mom embossed the "thank you" with WOW White Puff Embossing Powder.

My mom then placed all pieces together and added some star embellishments from our collection. 

and that's it... 

We hope you feel inspired to create something, even if it only takes 5 minutes!
