Let Freedom Ring QAL - Row 3

I'm really enjoying being able to take my time with these blocks. Since this row-a-long finishes up in February 2021 I should have plenty of time to get it quilted before July;-) Row 3 is made up of the Patriotic Pinwheel block and the Old Glory block from the Let Freedom Ring pattern by Primrose Cottage Quilts. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a creative day:-)

Let Freedom Ring QAL-Row 2

This month's row is the Sparkler Star Block. This uses a cute patriotic vintage pickup truck along with some flying geese units. I just love this row. Check out the full quilt-a-long instructions on Primrose Cottage Quilt's site.

Let Freedom Ring QAL - Row 1

I am so drawn to anything red, white, and blue that I obviously jumped on this wagon. Primrose Cottage Quilts is hosting a row by row quilt along featuring their Let Freedom Ring pattern. It is a 10 month quilt along which officially began in April with the choosing of fabrics and tools. This month is the Yankee Doodle Dandy Stars row.  I am using the same fabric as Lindsey did called Fireworks and Freedom by Bella Blvd for Riley Blake Designs and Blossom by Christopher Thompson of The Tattooed Quilter For Riley Blake Designs.

(yes, my first row is hanging vertically and then I rotated it)

A Patriotic Reverse Confetti Card

When I saw the new star dies from Reverse Confetti this week, I knew what I was going to do for this months challenge card. The bottom layer is embossed with Darice's Assorted Stars folder. The circles and star dies are from Reverse Confetti.

A July Birthday Card

So happy you stopped by today:-) I have a "patriotic" colored birthday card to share with you. I have quite a few birthdays coming up. Most importantly my son who will be turning three on the fourth:-) This card, however, is for my oldest nephew.

I used one of my favorite October Afternoon stacks, Rocket Age, along with some of my favorite stamps from Iron Gate Stamps, Birthday Wishes. I added a tad of dimension using a punched out star from a set of grunge board shapes by Tim Holtz.

FCCB Memorial Day Challenge

So glad you stopped by today! This week's FCCB challenge is to create a project that celebrates Memorial Day. I am so honored to be able to use one of our fabulous sponsors images, Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I tried my hand at using my Stampin' Up markers to color in this patriotic soldier. The base card is an A2 dry embossed with the Darice Stars Assortment folder. The ribbon is from my stash. The corner was cut using Straight From The Nest out of paper from my stash.

Patriotic Birthday

Happy 4th to you my crafty friends and a BIG happy birthday to my precious baby boy! I can't believe he is 2 today:-) So, in honor of my little firecracker, I made this patriotic Elmo birthday card. I admit, I made this very quickly yesterday! I've been so busy getting ready for his party today, I plumb forgot to make his card.

I used three Cuttlebug embossing folders- Candy Cane, D'vine Swirl, and Stars. Elmo is from the Elmo and Friends Holiday Cricut cartridge. I added a little Stickles (of course) to his hat and tied a silver star button with Air Mail twine. I stamped the sentiment on a small piece of white card stock and used my Stampin' Up ticket corner punch.

There are a lot of patriotic challenges this week. Make sure you check them out - Paper Playtime, Fantabulous Cricut Challenge, My Craft Spot, Celebrate The Occasion, Die Cuttin' Divas, and Paper Crafting World.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful holiday:-)

Patriotic Birthday

Happy Friday crafting friends. It's especially happy for me because my DH comes back from Scotland today. I have to say, I do get more crafting done when he's gone because I can stay up 'til the wee hours. Although, it's probably not the best idea since I need to be in top form in the a.m. for my toddler;-)
For my card today, I used My Creative Time's Build A Banner stamp and die set. I love that Emma designed these herself. It makes my cards look more artistic. I embossed the white background with the Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder and added some airmail twine for the banners to "hang" on. The ink and card stock is from Stampin' Up. I am also using this card for the Celebrate the Occasion challenge.
