Thanks for visiting my stop on the ginormous
OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop! It's such a great way for we card makers to honor our fallen heroes: sharing ideas and inspiration for the cards we make for heroes who are serving now. The theme of our hop is RED, WHITE AND BLUE. Here is my thank you card; it's very basic design based on OWH Sketch 68. I used one of my favorite techniques: paper piecing! I love Inspired Stamps' new "Hymn Girls" line and the faux stitching stamps in their "Bind and Stitch" set! FYI: the music imprinted on Hymn Girl's outfit is part of the clear stamp. I love it.
DP: Authentique "Pride" 6x6
Modern Label & Word Window punches: Stampin' Up
Sentiment: Memory Box rubber stamp
Ribbon: Paper Source
Star brads, Pearl Pen

That is one sweet card. The stitches look real! Your paper piecing is always fun.
Lovely vintagey card. Love all the details and fantastic job paper piecing! (no book)
Yummy card! Love your paper choices...Great details! WTG!
You had me at faux stitching stamps! That is fabulous!
I like the muted colors.
I love the old fashioned look of the card and the stitching, I'm going to have to try that, it gives it that final touch!
This is a great card, with some techniques I've not used - the paper piecing which I've done once and stitching, which I could do if I went into the other room and used the sewing machine. Thank you for the inspiration! Sewing machine, here I come!
Me again - I just reread your post and see the stitching is a stamp - how clever of the person who designed that!!!
Sherry, your card is most awesome as they always are. I love everything about it.
What a super sweet card! I love the Authentique paper in the background!
Love the paper that you used to make this card!
The stamp (or digi) is lovely with your paper choices.
Love all the layering and the textures, including the stitching. Nicely done! Radloff jen at cableone dot net.
That stitching looks so real! What a great stamp. And your card is very cute. Congrats on your book and nice job donating some to OWH.

What a great stamp and fantastic paper piecing. You make beautiful cards and you are an author-what great gifts from God! Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity to win your book; it sounds wonderful, and I would love to read it to my grandchildren.
Great job on the paper piecing. For some reason I always forget about doing that and just reach for the watercolor pencils.

Love this card. What wonderful design.
This blog hop IS ginormous! But such awesome card inspiration is really amazing. Your paper piecing is SO cute and the scale of everything is so well balanced...thanks for sharing!
Hi Sherry! Your paper piecing is, as usual, fantastic. :) I really like the music detail in that stamp line by Inspired Stamps. It makes them really unique.

I just love that touch of stitching on your card. And the crown of stars on the little girls head is perfect. Thanks for supporting OWH.
Charming card!
I really like the paper choices here-lots of different patterns but they work because the size scale is right as well as color.
And the little embossed stars on her head :)
Thank you for making and sharing

Hi, Sherry! :) I'm not familiar with that Hymn Girls line of stamps, but they look intriguing! I especially like how the musical score is incorporated into the image.
If I were lucky enough to win your book, I'd have a hard time deciding whether to keep it for myself or to donate it to our local elementary school's library!

Love your card and the stitching is the perfect finishing touch. Your generous giveaway should go to someone else though...so you can skip over me :-) congrats on your accomplishment though...it's amazing.
Your card is wonderful. I'm in love with the hymn girls! I went to the website and saw several lovely stamps that I put on my wish list. The sailor boy too. Thanks for sharing today. lyn (at) plkaufmann (dot) com
