I think out of all my cards that I have recently posted this one is a favorite. Living in Texas you find out that people are Texas bred and Texas proud. This card is part a set of cards that I made for a stantionary set. I have 11 cards and one box that I am going to decorate using some paint and some other things.
I have a few other states that I am going to try my hand at but if they don't work out the stanionary kit will be a Texas set of cards.
To make this I had to sort through a dingbat font and then I used my Silly to cut the shape in red, white and blue and then adding a star. It actually isn't a hard project it just takes some time to make sure that you get the cuts correct since you don't want the flag to be incorrect which it can be if you don't pay attention.
So what I did was cut out red, white and blue texas shapes from there I used a ruler and craft knife to cut up the shapes. From there I mounted everything to the white background and then added a star in the blue section as there is supposed to be. I had a hard time trying to decide if I wanted the star to but shaped like the state or if I wanted it to look as it does above. I picked option B and I must say it looks pretty darn awesome!
Now to move onto the box to put thsese in.
