God Bless Texas - Kitchen Sink Stamps

School is out and summer is on its way to Texas. Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card features images from Classic Old Truck, Clay Pots, Bluebonnets, Stars & Stripes American Flag (God Bless), and Water Lilies (toad). The TEXAS was punched with the We R Memory Keepers word punch set! What a fun alphabet to create with! I threw together a quick watercolored background and stamped the images of SVG cut files also available at Kitchen Sink Stamps.

I don't know about you, but I am ready for a little road trip! It's time to get out of town and kick up my heels a bit! Now if I can just find an open day and an open road!

We Remember - Kitchen Sink Stamps

In just over two weeks' time, we will again be celebrating Memorial Day here in the United States. It is a day when we take time to remember and honor the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our country.

Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design incorporates the United States flag from Stars & Stripes American Flag and poppies which have been used since the end of World War I to honor and remember fallen warriors. Kitchen Sink Stamps has two poppy sets: Remembrance Poppy and Poppy Bouquet, both sets were used in the creation of this card.

The greenery was stamped directly on the white cardfront. The poppies and the flag were stamped on SVG cut files which are also available at Kitchen Sink Stamps. The poppies were then glued over the greenery and the flag popped up on top. This is a 5 inch by 7 inch design.

This card has been entered in the following challenges this week:

Triple B May 2024 Challenge - Birds, Butterflies, and/or Blooms

The Flower Challenge - Challenge #91 - Colour Your Flower (layered stamping)

Spellbinders - Classic Tales

I whipped out a dozen of these earlier this week using the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month - Classic Tales. Six of these cards will be used as masculine cards of encouragement while on the other six I added sympathy sentiments in the place of the scripture. I am so thrilled to have been a part of the large and small die of the month club for this past year! I can't wait to see the new release today!!

The embossed panel was created with kraft paper using the Crosses embossing folder from Darice.
