American Flag Heart Card

I'm working on a stash of patriotic encouragement cards for an Army buddy who was recently shipped out overseas. I'll be occasionally sharing cards of this theme throughout the year. I've been thoroughly enjoying the new collection from Erin Lee Creative that has so many stamps, dies, and more with this theme. Scroll down for more info and creative details.

For this card, I'm using the Heart Flag Die from Erin Lee Creative, along with a die cut sentiment created from the Thank You Hero die set. 

I found some blue and red cardstock in my stash and cut the heart flag using both colors and with white cardstock as well,  I fussy cut a white heart by tracing around my die, so I could use that as a backing. My blue heart die cut was the base and I swapped out red stripes and white stars. I then trimmed out a section from my white heart die cut and adhered it on top.

For the "Thank You" die cut sentiment, I cut 3 die cuts; two white and one blue, running through my die cut machine. The three layers were glued together, then adhered on top of my flag heart, which was popped up on adhesive foam tape.

For my background panel, I did some ink smooshing, spritzing Ranger distress ink in Faded Jeans on a craft mat, lightly spritzing with water, then dredging my white card panel in a random pattern.

Since I had leftover

 

Lastly, since I had some leftover stars in blue and red, I glued some down in a random pattern on my card, topped them with my more glue and added glitter for some sparkle.

I adore these products soooo much! Maybe because I grew up with an Army family and my heart knows the pain of separation. I'm a firm believer in sending a little gratitude and encouragement to my friends in the armed forces. The great thing about this product line, is the versatility in using it for patriotic cardmaking throughout the year was well.

I would love to know if you decide to purchase any of these products for your self! Let me know! Create and tag me at @wavingmywand on Instagram or TikTOK! Youll find affiliate links to these products below at no additional cost to you. Thanks so much for stopping by.....
