Patriotic Cards

One of the requests from our deployed troops to Operation Write Home was for patriotic cards that they can send home.  I recently purchased some paper for this purpose.  I bought this paper for the white stars on a blue background.  When I got home, I discover the starburst stipes on the back.  I cut the 12" x 12" paper into quarters to preserve the starburst design.  I used the center portion for my starburst card, then used the edges of paper for the stars.


I managed to get 4 of these cards from that paper, with lots left over.  I'll work on making cards from the rest of my scraps.
