Patriotic Flowers

 

This is my July Crafters of Faith card.  This is a great group that my friend Kelly started on SCS.  She hosted for 5 years and now Faith has taken over for year #7. We will continue as we have in the past with each month a new hostess gives us a scripture and challenges us to make a card with that theme. 

Jeanette is the hostess this month and gave everyone this challenge:

Scripture:  Ecclesiastes 3:11a He has made everything beautiful in its time.

Challenge: In this month of July, create a card that shows something that is beautiful in/about the summer months. The second part of the verse says "He has put eternity into man's heart" so it would be wonderful if you would also include a heart on your card.

I really like this Whipper Snapper Designs image and use it often for 4th of July cards.  It also showcases pretty flowers that bloom in the summer!    I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and die cut the image, plus the the navy layer, with my Cottagecutz Single Stitched Ovals  The background panel is embossed with the Taylored Expressions Fireworks folder.   I used my Stampin' Up mini banner punch to make some red, white and blue flags.  I also added some red enamel dots as the final touch!

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of flag washi tape:

I hope you and the others from the Crafters of Faith group like my card this month!  We are to post on the 7th of each month, so if you look on my sidebar, you may see other creations.  I know that there will be many posted in the COF thread on SCS too!

Happy Memorial Day!  

I really like this Taylored Expressions Home of the Brave Stamp Set.  I picked a red and blue lined patterned paper for the background and stamped the image directly on the panel.  I used my TE Cherry Pop and Blue Corn ink cubes--it makes the stamping easier along the stars and stripes.  I then picked one of the patriotic sentiments in the set--perfect for Memorial Day!  

Here is the inside of my card with a strip of the patterned paper:

I hope you like my card and also that you have a sweet holiday!  Remember all of those who gave their lives for our freedom!

Home of the Brave

This is my card for our June swap for my local stamp store called Polka Dots.  The theme is Summer or Patriotic!  I picked a favorite stamp set from Taylored Expressions called Home off The Brave-and it comes with a coordinating die set. I stamped the flag with my TE ink cubes--easy to do!  The background paper is from a Our Memories for Life pack called Red, White & Beautiful.  I see that I did not cut the sentiment strip very straight--oh well, it is on an angle for a reason!  We also include envelopes with our swap cards, so I stamped a heart image on the corner!

Here is the inside of my card:

I am sure I will get back some sweet cards!

Glory Bee

This is my card for our April swap for my local stamp store called Polka Dots.  The theme is Your Choice!  I went with a sweet stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs called Glory Bee. I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. The background paper is We R Memory Keepers Red, White and Blue-Celebration line.  I die cut the star layer with my Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2 and added a layer of blue.  I added some red enamel dots for an embellishment.

Patriotic Bouquet

This is my card for the 45th round of the Unidentified Image swap on SCS.  It is a group of ladies who are a part of a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same image, sent to us by the hostess.  The unidentified part is that we are to not discuss the image at all until the day they are to be posted.   The image for this round was provided by Tracie .  She will swap the cards and include the next image that Vickie, our next hostess in their return envie.  And then we get to do it all again--for round #46--in October! 

Tracie sent us this cute image from Two Paper Divas. This is a perfect image to use for any occasion!

Here is the inside of my card:

If you check some of the other blogs listed on my sidebars, you may find some other swappers who have posted their creations recently or in the next few days.  You can also check out SCS and use the keyword UIS45 to see some posted there.  I hope Tracie and everyone in the swap likes my card--and that you do too!
