Camo Hero Card for Erin Lee Creative

It's Memorial Day and time to remember those in our armed forces who have died in service to our country. Many of us have friends or family who have and currently serve in the various branches of military service. If you've lost a loved one, my heart goes out to you, truly. I grew up an Army brat and I know what it means to be dedicated to our Vets and those who've gone on before us. 

With that in mind, I really wanted to make a special card to commemorate this day. Today's card features products from Erin Lee Creative. Scroll down for brief, creative details.

 The camo paper that I'm using is retired, from The Outdoor Life collection at Paper House Productions. You can however, find a great selection of different camo brand paper here, at Scrapbookcom.

I cut several die cuts with my Platinum 6 using the Heart Flag Die from Erin Lee Creative on the camo paper, a double sided adhesive foam sheet and white cardstock. Keeping as much of my die cuts intact with the adhesive foam, I used a sharp tool to pop the stripes out on a 3.75x5 inch piece of white trimmed cardstock, peeling off the top layer of the sheet and replacing it with the stripes from the camo paper die cut.

The full dimension of the finished card is A2 sized, with my camo paper trimmed and layered (as a background) to fit those dimensions as well.

Next, I laid down my white die cut on top, pressing the star section as flat as I could and swiped on some glue over the negative part of the stars.

Once I pulled up my white die cut, I quickly used my sharp tool to grab each star and center over the stenciled glue. You'll need a paper towel to press down when finished and blot the excess glue.

My sentiment was stamped using my Misti stamp positioner and the word "Hero" from the ELC Stars & Stripes stamp set. I love the way this card looks, using the negative pieces from the die cut!

Thanks so much for stopping by and let's remember our Heroes! God Bless! You'll find the full supply list below with affiliate product links at no additional cost. Simply click the brand name to go directly to that product.
