STAMPtember - Day Eleven - BE STRONG!!!! FIGHT!!!!! DO NOT COMPLY!!!!!!

MY ORIGINAL POST FOR TODAY IS BELOW.

My blog, my words, my personal space.  Period.

I WILL NOT COMPLY.'

I will not let someone else--anyone else but especially not a dementia ridden pervert psychopath--tell me what I'm going to put in my body.

I will fight.

WE ALL HAVE TO FIGHT.

Originally I had a patriotic card to share to remember what happened on this day in 2001.  But I've made another card, an empowering card.

I don't usually share the products I'm using unless it's a DT post, but here I will link to the Colorado Craft Company America Strong stamp set that I used for this card.  I encourage you all to buy this stamp and FIGHT for your freedom, for your family, for the future.

Original text: Twenty years ago we faced the worst day our country has ever seen.  I know many are oblivious to this nowadays, they've forgotten because facing the truth is harder than hiding from it.  But we were attacked, and we can never forget that and never stop fighting for our country and our freedoms.  Period.

Later on today I'll share a happier card, but for right now, I've got a patriotic card to honor what happened twenty years ago today.

Happy Fall Ya'all with Dies R Us!!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Lisa here, sharing a fall themed card with lots of shimmer!  I combined products from Frantic Stamper, Lawn Fawn and Tutti Designs to make this card!

I started my project by choosing a fall-themed background die by Frantic Stamper called Swirling Leaves Stitched Background.  It's 3.5" by 5" so I ran it through my die cut machine twice on my 6.75" x 4.75" mat.  You can't even see the line between the two, the die lines up beautifully.

I decided I wanted to use a stamp since September is National Stamping Month, so I pulled out my Lawn Fawn Before 'N Afters stamp set.  

I chose to pair the stamp set with one of my favorite die sets, Tutti Designs Cross Stitch Banners.  Unfortunately, I somehow deleted the photos I took of the stamping, coloring and inking processes.  My apologies!  I do have a photo of the card before I adhered it together and embellished it.

I hope this card inspires to make a fun fall card with any of the fun and amazing dies that Dies R Us carries.  --Lisa
