Patriotic Stars

Today's project is a star easel card/ornament paying tribute to all of our United States active duty, retired, active reserve and reserve veterans.  Thank you for your service!  We salute and honor you!  

I love these papers so much that I'm resorting to cobbling pieces together between two paper pads to make a project!  I love that they are so perfectly mixy-matchy that that works!  

For today's card/ornament, I die cut lots of stars and glued them together in layers to make an easel card.  There are two layers of decorative papers with one layer of thin card stock sandwiched in between for each side. 

Here you can see what the card looks like from the side, with one single scored fold line across the top point of the star on only the back side.  

A sentiment and smaller star decorate the inside, where again you can see the way the card is adhered only via the top point.  

And even the back is decorated, so if you do choose to tie a ribbon through the middle and hang it as an ornament, there's something patriotic visible from any view.
