One of the things I love most about JustRite Stampers is the ability to create my own custom sayings, whether it is a greeting or quote. Today I used the JustRite Times New Roman Uppercase Font (JB-08060) in 25 pt to stamp this fabulous quote, "My patriotic heart beats red, white & blue" (by Unknown). Since I knew that I wanted to cut this out in an oval shape, I spelled it all out on the Wood Stamper Oval 2 -1/4" x 3-1/16“ (JB-08119), stamped and cut out with a Spellbinders Oval die.
I used some coordinating patterned papers from Basic Grey's Oliver 6x6 pad (stripe, polka dot and solids). I used my Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder to emboss the stars on the white panel. I added 3 of my own crochet stars to the left side and adhered a red, white and navy blue Candy Dot to the center of each star (for the red one, I colored it with my R89 Copic marker so that it would be a better match for my dark red).
Note: The stars are the same as the one I made for my Dad's Day card. Click HERE for the crochet pattern I used (it's the first one listed in the feedback section).
