Today’s Clean & Simple (CAS383) Challenge wants us to use Red, White & Blue. While this may not look as simple as some, I only colored the little pie & everything else is die cut, so pretty easy. 

The piece of dp on the side & the half doily were leftovers so I used them as is. The pennant row & Patriotic pennants were stamped first w/ Memento then over stamped w/ a coordinating color of Versafine to get good coverage since they’re such solid images. After die cutting everything, it was just a matter of arranging it all.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A279), we are to make a card for July 4th. Mine is pretty quick & easy..after stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the Liberty Bell & USA letters, I added the letters to die cut red, white & blue banners. The white bg was die cut & embossed w/ a stripe pattern and the greeting was die cut & added to a larger die cut circle w/ the ring of stars on it. The finished card is 4.25 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Today’s CAS Challenge (clean & simple) CAS330, has us using stars &/or stripes. I used both plus anchors for my Patriotic Military card.

And this really was quick & easy because almost all of it was made using die cuts I already had sitting around.  I only stamped 3 images, colored 2 and fussy cut the anchor. The little square frame w/ the pierced circle was already there along w/ the little red ring so I added a smaller die cut circle w/ the US Navy emblem stamped in denim. The anchor & USA were lightly colored & added to a bg I embossed w/ a small anchor pattern. The inside has the rest of the USA greeting & says “Home of the Free Thanks to Our Brave”.  The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used (not many).
