Land of the Free Cricut Card – Stand & Salute

I think the Stand & Salute cartridge is great.

A sweet lady hired me to make a card for a soldier serving in Iraq and this is what I came up with.  All of the images are from Stand & Salute.  I used gray glitter cardstock to create the dog tags.  Then, I printed “Thanks to You” from my printer directly on to vellum.  I glued the vellum onto the dog tags using Zip Dry.  I might try a different adhesive to adhere the vellum to the glitter card stock next time.  I think it might not be the best choice.  I saw some bubbles and some cracking in another item I did the same way and have some concerns about my choice.  However, I really love the way this card turned out.  I would ink the “Land of the Free” differently too because it’s a little too dark to read.  Oh, well.  I still like it!!

I previously used those stars on this project: Cricut Bath Bomb Gift

I should have posted this on Veterans Day, huh?!!
