God Bless the USA!

Happy Friday! Today I wanted to share some Any Hero cards I just finished for Operation Write Home. Feels good to FINISH some cards...I've had a lot of projects in the works lately!  My self-imposed challenge here was to take some cheesy holographic flag stickers and turn them into classy Any Hero cards.
I started with something really basic...a navy base, with a red embossed layer of stars. Then I added the Hampton Art ($1 bin) sentiment and my flag sticker.

 Looked pretty good, but I wanted to kick it up a notch. I found some red PaperTrey Ink ribbon, large silver star brads, sentiment stamps from Scrappy Moms and a simple Stampin' Up border punch. Here are the results:

My favorite is the God bless the USA card.  I think it turned out very classy!

My next goal is to make some Any Hero cards that are NOT red, white and blue! Guess I'll be scouring my craft room for some cheesy camouflage paper next!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Hooray for the Red, White & Blue!

Today I want to share a couple of simple Any Hero cards I made for Operation Write Home.



Both of these cards were made using the Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge and the Yankee Doodle Dandy stamp set from Scrappy Moms.  If you'd like to send some Any Hero mail to Operation Write Home, but are not sure what to write in the cards, check out this tutorial, which gives you plenty of information and inspiration to get started.

Have a wonderfully creative day! Thanks for stopping by!
