Army Mom Patriotic Card

Happy March 4th

Being a 76er and proud Army Mom I wanted to create a series of patriotic cards offering hope, love and encouragement for others. My first card in this series is a very clean and simple design representing all my Army Mom's out there. 

If you happened to see my blog post yesterday. You would have learned the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. On the 4th day of each month I plan to share with you a stunning card or project with detailed instructions. Giving you the ability to create these projects on your own. Included below is a detailed list of all the supplies used to complete this card    

So let's get started. 





                             

                                                                        Product List

To get started, you only need three colors of cardstock Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, and Basic Black. The Daffodil Delight cardstock is the the base of the card measuring 5.5 x 11 inches and scored at 4.25 on the 11 inch side. With a bonefolder go ahead and score cardstock in half and fold. White cardstock measures 5.25 x 4 inches and Black cardstock measurement is 5 x 3.34 inches. My favorites adhesive is tear tape yours might be either a liquid glue or tape runner. Go ahead and adhesive to your black card stock attaching it to the center of the white card stock and the white cardstock is attached to the front of the Daffodil Delight card base.


Next step is to die cut out the stars using the Stitched Stars Dies. 
Use the second largest star die with Daffodil Delight, third largest with Basic Black and fourth largest with Whisper White. Then use adhesives to attach and layer smallest to largest stars.



These are the Dies Stitched Star Dies below.



With the Playful Alphabet Dies dies cut the word ARMY with Daffodil Delight card stock and word Mom with the Whisper White cardstock. 


Before you start to glue and attached letters to card. I would suggest arranging the letters on card to see how they look first. Once you like the arrangement then you can proceed to attach. To make it easier I first attached the letters spelling mom then the final letters Army. As you can see with a few simple dies and sheets of cardstock a very beautiful and stunning card can be made. 




Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful card with me. Please let me know your thoughts. Hugs and happy crafting blessings,

Darlene
