Veterans Day 2023

 

I'm always thankful for the Veteran's in my life, so each year I design a card for Veterans' Day and give it to my Dad, my Father-in-law, my Brother, my Brothers-in-law and a friend. Their service to our country means that I have the freedom that I enjoy now! Thanks to them and all service members that have served!

I used My Memories Suite digital software to create the sentiment... everything else is paper and die-cuts. I did add a touch of 'Wink of Stella' to the stars to make them shine.

Thanks for today so that we could honor those who served!

Supplies Used:

My Memories Suite digital software

Fonts - Haettenschweiler (red); Good Vibrations (blue)

Paper - Night of Navy, Basic White, Real Red DSP

Accessories - Stampin' Trimmer, Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine, Stitched Nested Labels dies, Stitched Stars dies (non-SU), Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon, Wink of Stella, dimensionals, glue dots

Veterans' Day 2018

When I saw Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek's card (on the right)... I just knew it would be a perfect Veterans' Day card. I changed mine up a bit to make it my own!  Thanks Lyssa for your inspiration!

I designed this using my digital software program (My Memories Suite). The letters in the word 'Thank You' are the Timeless Type Junior letters (shapes), and I filled them in using the Grunge Flag Background (SCA). The other words are just black text using Bradley Hand ITC font. The stars are just shapes, as well. I printed this out on Whisper White cardstock and then matted it first in Real Red and then on the card base - Night of Navy.

Happy Veterans' Day to all those who are serving and have served this great country - the USA!

Supplies Used:

Veteran Thanks

Here is my card to thank all the Veterans in my family for serving our great country. I found a card that used the word 'Soldier' with the same message.... I felt that the message can definitely be used for our Veterans too!

Here is the card, from Peggy Marsh, that inspired me to create mine. Thanks Peggy!

I created by focal piece with My Memories Suite digital software. I used the 'Regency' font for the word 'Veteran' and the 'Bradley Hand ITC' font for the message. The Star is from the 'Devoted USA Mini Kit' from ADBD. With the star, I changed the opacity to 40%, so that you can see the message more clearly.

For the background, I just used a 5x3.75" piece of red cardstock and adhered 1" strips of Whisper White and inch and 3 inches down horizontally.

Thanks for stopping by for a closer look! AND.... for all Veterans' out there --- Thank YOU for YOUR service!

I found inspiration for this card from Pinterest... I really liked how the placement/layout of the circled sentiment was on 'Scrapaholicbond26's' (Splitcoaststampers member name) card.

Here is her card:

In trying to create the circled sentiment piece, I used My Memories Suite digital software. I did find that it's easier to create sentiments that curve in MMS rather than in my old MDS (My Digital Studio).  With MMS, you just create your text inside a text box and then.... select a button on the right-hand side of the screen that says "Curve".  Once this button is selected you can choose 'Inside Circle' or 'Outside Circle'. So much easier than 'Attaching it to Shape'.  Although, if you look closely... the text isn't as smooth curving as I know it is when you 'Attach to Shape'.  But... it still looks great!

I chose to use a Patriotic flag image behind the sentiment in the middle. I did this by bringing down the opacity of the image... thus the words stand out.

Once complete in MMS, I printed it out on Whisper White cardstock and finished the card the traditional way.  I used the Square Lattice TIEF for the embossed background and adhered the stars and circle sentiment with dimensionals and glue dots to make them 'pop'.

Happy Veterans Day to All Who Serve/Have Served! Thank You!

Thanks for looking!
