Here is an Americana Card I made that has a vintage feel. All the papers are from Michael's and I used glimmer mist on the cricut cut to add some subtle shine. The Independence Day cartridge is a great one--so don't put it away--keep it handy!!
I made a number of these to send to some active duty service men and women from a church group.
Still not feeling well but I have been working on another readers challenge. On Wednesday I will have be showing my solutions to a challenge from a very loyal reader-Jennifer-who is preparing for a baby shower. I will have two options that can be used for the invite or the thank you. I also have decorations and favor ideas--not all are home made but when your throwing a party a balance of work and fun must be maintained. LOL. I even have a video!!!
Make it a great one!
great card - love the use of the stars cb folder. hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this card! The colors and feel of it are so up my alley. I hate Tuesday as Monday but at least I worked this weekend so I know what I'm walking into today LOL! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI think the service men and women who receive this card will be thrilled. The vintage looks is very American.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Bryan!! I am glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. It is so nice of you to make cards to send to service men & woman. You are a great person!

ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I love the little "pocket", and , of course, the shimmer! Make sure that you are getting plenty of rest so that you can give your body a fighting chance.
ReplyDeleteNice card. I especially like the idea of a "pocket" to add a note or picture. May have to try this.
ReplyDeleteBryan so sorry to hear you are still not feeling better. I love the card you made. I always forget I have that stars cuttlebug folder. You are right about the button and twine! Love it!!

ReplyDeleteBryan, They will be happy to receive this. Do you also know about Operation Write home? I just blogged about. It's another great program and being on the receiving end of a card it truly meant a lot, and now I am doing my part to give back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this!

I really like the embossed stars. Don't know if I have that folder or not. But if I don't I want it. This is cool and will be much appreciated! TFS. By the way, I did 2 masculine cards tonight for a July and an August birthday (since I was the one to challenge you for masculine cards) and I was the first challenge that you mentioned.

I love to hear that you donate cards! I make cards for hospice patients & it's so rewarding. It's like the shoemaker's children have no shoes, though. One month, we made 300 cards to donate and then I didn't even have time to make Valentine's for my own family & friends...
