Its Memorial Day, a day to stop and appreciate all that people have done in the past and are doing today to serve our country. I especially think of all the children who are missing a parent today and those parents who are missing their children. My husband Tim is a Vietnam Vet and we look at all the different times and places our men and women have served both before then and since then.
Memorial Day is also a time of celebration for our many freedoms and for the start of summer…so here are some Stampin' Up! card ideas for this thankful Memorial Day!
A hot air balloon certainly says "celebration" although I would rather watch them than ride in them! This Sweet Centers stamp set (which is on the discontinued list) is a six piece set that includes stamps for Valentines, Christmas ornaments, Halloween, and flowers. How versatile is that? You can use circle or heart shaped cups to put treats in these cards, but they also stand alone like this.
If you are a gardener, you have probably spent some time out with your flowers this weekend. Enjoy these cards using the Flower Fancy stamp set (also on the discontinued list). Isn't it fun to see the different looks made from the same stamp set? This is a two step stamp set that looks water colored.
So these are my Stampin' Up! card ideas for this thankful Memorial Day! I hope you are spending time today with family or friends and being thankful for all the good things in life.
The count down is here……only three more days to order anything off the retiring stamp set list! Be sure to email me if you haven't seen the list and/or to find out what my special offer is!!!
