My husband recently asked me to design some thank you cards for veterans. He has been working on an amazing service project for sometime, and he needed some cards to go along with it. The only requirement for the card was that it include a flag, which will make more sense when I explain the project below. While Stampin’ Up! does not have a flag stamp, I remembered that I… Read More »
