I love making patriotic cards! Our recipient today was just promoted to Colonel and has served for 23 years in the army. I used a star embossing folder which was rubbed with blue ink before running through my machine. I added the personalized speech bubble and one of my favorite patriotic stamps this cute Uncle Sam.

That is one cute Uncle Sam stamp, Polly. I am spying some gold sparkle on those stars too! Love how you personalized this and that great big speech bubble! Your blue star background looks great!

I always liked that embossing folder, and inked up in blue it's just perfect ti pair with the vintage-style image. Those speech bubble borders, like the curved ones, are some I don't use nearly enough. It looks super here.
