The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"You Are an Angel"
The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Wings"
Today's set could be used for several USA holidays -- Memornial Day and Fourth of July in particular. My first card is a thank-you card to a veteran and would lend itself very well for Memorial Day. Both my dad and my brother were in the Marines, and I have a soft spot in my heart for veterans.
Here's a card for the 4th of July. I recently found those QuicKutz dies on clearance on-line. They are actually supposed to be a cannon blast, but I think they will pass for fireworks!
I do hope you liked my patriotic cards today and plan to check out the rest of the design team members' blogs. There's sure to be some more red, white, and blue!

ReplyDeleteLove how you colored the eagle and the word strong.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Lois!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Lois. The ribbon on the second one is perfect for this set. I think the cannon blast looks more like fireworks so I think it will pass.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful! I love how you colored the eagle and the sentiment. I did think of fireworks with the second card.
ReplyDeleteLois, I like both of your cards. I really like your second one with the fireworks!
ReplyDeletegreat coloring and design!

ReplyDeleteLois,
ReplyDeleteTwo very pretty and wonderful cards. I am very partial to all Vets as well. My Dad was in the Navy in WWII, my husband is a 22 year Army veteran and my soon is Air Force.
Wonderful patriotic cards. I like the dies you used on the second one.
ReplyDeleteWhat great cards Lois! Especially love the 2nd one! TFS
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderfully patriotic cards Lois! Great work!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards; love the card layout you used on both.
ReplyDeleteLois- these are wonderfully patriotic samples. So nice!
