Good morning everyone and welcome to
My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.
A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items using My Creative Time stamps and dies!
With the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I thought for my project today I would use up some of my Red, White and Blue card~stock scraps to a make a card in honor of all those brave men and women who fight every day to keep us safe.
I hope you like it.....

Placing those layers aside, I stamped my sentiment from the Happy Homecoming stamp set and then heat embossed it using some white embossing powder from Creative Inspirations Paint.
I then attached my card~stock mat to the front of my card. Finally I die cut some Stitched Stars in the matching papers, attached them to my card front using some foam pop dots and added a few randomly placed sequins.
So what do you think?????
Making projects with all those scraps has never been easier...LOL! Especially with the adorable MCT dies and stamps!
Supplies Used:
Paper~ Navy, White, Red scraps
Vellum~Boys Rule (unknown manufacture)
Stamps~ My Creative Time~Happy Homecoming
Dies~ My Creative Time~3 Star Stitched Dies
Embellishments~ Sequins, Sewing Machine
white embossing powder
WINNER WINNER!!
