Finally, I'm posting some of the cards I've been promising-lol.
I wanted to do a kind of patriotic card but don't really have any patriotic stamps. So I tore some strips and punched some stars and presto - a flag, sort of. I used real red, whisper white, brilliant blue and yoyo yellow paper. The stars were punched with Su!'s large star punch. I wanted to punch out the insides of some with the small star punch but - I didn't have it at the time (i do now-lol). A couple of the stars are popped up with dimensionals.
The card below is a very simple, yet elegant card. My club loved it! I used pumpkin pie, apricot appeal and chocolate chip card stock, only orange and chocolate chip markers, eastern blooms and on your birthday stamp sets. It is a perfect combination of colors and layer, if I do say so myself - lol. We used the markers to color the stamps instead of ink pads. Just wish I could take pictures that do it justice.
The rest will have to wait until later. It's getting late. You dads out there - happy belated father's day. Hope you all got to do whatever you wanted to do on your day!
Type at you later.

Glad to see you got everything working! I love your idea to make a card that is in essence very similar to the American flag, yet you made the stars pop out by using the yellow. Very cool! I also love the fact that you always decorate the inside of your card. My husband told me when I started making cards that it was kind of silly to put all that work into the outside and nothing on the inside, so job well done!
Love the Eastern Blooms card... it looks great with the Crushed Curry pallette!
