You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
There are 2 ways to do this challenge. Both use patriotic colors... that includes paper, ink, and embellishments. You may use the traditional colors or shades of those colors. For example: In the United States, you may use ruby red or another shade of red instead of real red and maybe a couple of shades of blue. You may add any neutrals.
Option 1:
Use patriotic colors to make a patriotic themed card but don't use traditional patriotic stamps. Example: Fourth of July card but don't use flags, Statue of Liberty, fireworks, etc.
Option 2:
Use patriotic colors and any images, but it can't be a patriotic card. Make a different themed card like Thinking of You, Get Well, Birthday, etc.

Great idea -- patriotic colors, but no patriotic stamps! I actually made a birthday card the other day for my grandson using red, white, and blue. Will have to come up with another one, I guess! Will get on this one after work. Thanks, Jen. Enjoy your summer!
Woohoo, that's gonna be a challenge for me this morning. Coffee first, then stamp. The kids are still asleep! Thanks Jen!

For option 1... Well.... Hmmm. Stars make me think of USA style directions. Does anyone else have an opinion? I''m staying neutral. :p
I think of stars as a patriotic stamp because of our flag..........so I'd say NO star stamps. That's just my opinion though.

Stars and stripes are definitely what I think of as USA Patriotic. But it's hard to think of something for that first option! What a fun challenge!! Off to see what I have....
OK - I just went up to look at everyone's cards and comments - OOOPS! I am afraid I used a star for one of my cards. It is a "western" style star...hope that is OK.

I was planning on making a get well card for my Dad today. I had this layout in my mind, and when I saw today's challenge, it made it easy to pick the colors. Thanks Jen!
If I understood correctly, stars are okay as long as you are doing option 2 and not doing a patriotic card. (Jen used stars on her 1st card example). Correct me if Im wrong!! Sounds like a fun challenge, hoping I have time to play today. Thanks Jen for the great challenge!
OK Jen!! Great challenge!!:-D I usually clean the house on Fridays...but who wants to clean the house when I have two weeks worth of these challenges to do!!!??? Cleaning can wait cause I have an itch to stamp today!!!:mrgreen:

Ack!!!! Now I'm reading above that star stamps are OUT -- sorry!!! Mine is done and loaded -- oh well!!!
Just clearing up something... ;)
Option 2 can use stars or any other images since the theme is what's not going to be patriotic.... instead it will be birthday, thank you, or something else not patriotic related. Use any images for option 2
