In Honor of Our Veterans w/Stamp Simply

It's really ALL because of our amazing Veterans and the sacrifices they've made for our country that we can, and should, celebrate the 4th of July as Independence Day.  I try my best to say, "thank you" when I see a Veteran (someone I'm certain has served).  This is something I do simply as a matter or respect.  Even if you're a person of few words, you can say, "thanks for your service".  As we celebrate our great country; we should never forget our Veterans.  Like I always say, at Stamp Simply Clear Stamps, there's a perfect stamp (die, etc.) for EVERY occasion, and Independence Day is no exception.

Yes, Stamp Simply has several different (all fabulous) Patriot Stamp Sets.  I think I've used most of them on this card. LOL  I'll try to list all the different stamp sets I used and where I used them, but the list may get long.  I used some Patterned Papers and a journalling card.  I do apologize that we're sold of this particular paper pad right now; but you can use any red and blue papers or any brand patriotic papers.  I did some machine stitching on each card.  I stamped the white background (behind the journalling card) using the Liberty Bell Stamp Set (gold bells), Red White & Blue Stamp Set (flag), The American Eagle Stamp Set (stars), Old Glory Stamp Set (words) and the Patriotic Sentiments Stamp Set is where you'll find the sentiment I used.  The sentiment strip was cut using the Fishtail Banner Dies.

I used the Patriotic Sentiments Stamp Set to stamp all the pretty stars that surround my sentiment and the journalling card.  I'm sorry to say that our star die-cuts (among others) were SO popular that they're all sold out already.  But don't worry!  They're not difficult to fussy cut with a good pair of scissors.  Stars are a great accent for many occasions.  This is a simple card that anyone can create.  Check out all the pretty Patterned Papers with journalling cards available at Stamp Simply Clear Stamps. Next, pick a coordinating stamp set (Baby, Christmas, Patriotic, etc,) and perhaps a coordinating die-cut or two.  Just grab these few simple things from Stamp Simply, and you're on your way to making wonderful cards.  Stamp Simply really does put the "SIMPLE" in card-making. There's always lots of great inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog to give you creative ideas and show you cool ways to use Stamp Simply products.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  It makes my day every single time I get a comment because I sometimes wonder if anybody comes by blogs any longer.  I'd like to keep blogging forever because (as you can tell), I love to talk.  I also type SUPER fast (about 110 wpm) so I'm literally typing what I'm thinking.  lol  I'm hoping you all have a super blessed and wonderfully creative week ahead, and don't forget to visit Stamp Simply.  Thanks so much, sweet friends.

Blessings,
