The stamp I used is from Stampotique. I can't remember what I colored it with. Maybe Copics, maybe Stampin Up markers. As my late mother-in-law would say, "I have slept since then". It doesn't really matter anyway. The letter U was cut with Sizzix Sizzlets that haven't seen any love for a long time. The polka dot paper and the cardstock are all from Bazzill.
The I miss you sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp I bought on the cheap from my St Vincent DePaul thrift store. The Hanging hearts stamp is from Stampotique. I used a lighter shade of blue for the background paper. It is from the DCWV small pad Dots Stripes Plaids. It has some built in wet look embossing.
Thanks for checking out my cards.

These are great cards! Sometimes the best things are found at garage sales and thrift shops!
These are very nice. I like the sentiment styles.
You are too funny Cora! We'll just assume you used those Copics to color. Both cards are great but I really like the 2nd one.
Following the guidelines to start at your own blog and move forward put YOU my first stop! LOL Excellent cards Cora. I especially like the second one with the hanging hearts. I love that sentiment too. It also has a "picnic-y" feel to it. Maybe because I'm SOOO ready for some BBQ! :)
Cora, your cards are so cute. I love them both but the first one stands out to me. Just beautiful!!!
I like the hanging hearts, draws the eye. Great job.
They are both beautiful! You always have the most fantastic paper! Your scrap pile most be wonderful! I really like the stamp with all the hearts --- is that an newer stamp:
Love both cards.
What sweet and pretty cards! I love them!
Aside from the great papers and arrangement of elements, the thing I like best about your cards is the sense of whimsical fun. They make me smile!
Beautiful cards Cora!

While I like both of your cards, those hanging hearts are way too cute!
Oh my, I love that hanging hearts stamp. You picked a perfect sentiment to go with it. I like the U that you added to the love sentiment on your first card.
Awesome cards. I really like the first one a lot with that huge stylistic sentiment.
Ms. Cora Jean...
Wow, I have to say that these cards are absolutely brilliant! Im digging your choice of stamps. I'm also wishing I could find awesome stamps at a thrift store, like you seem to always score!I'm putting the stamps on my wish list. Awesome job friend!
Fabulous cards, I love that fun sentiment on your first card!
The love card is very unique and eye catching and the hanging hearts is just sweet. Thanks for participating in the hop.
Nice Cards!
Really like all your layering and stamps used!
I like both of your cards very much, Cora! It's so much fun to see all these red, white and blue cards. You find the most amazing things at St. Vincent DePaul! I don't have any Stampotique. Thanks for inspiring us and motivating us at the FB wall. Hugs!
Cora Jean - you just make the neatest cards. I love that you look for supplies in thrift stores. A woman after my own heart.
Great cards!
Fabulous cards Cora! Those hanging hearts are so sweet. I don't know if I ever saw that SU set. I always enjoy hearing of the great deals you get at St. V, we don't have anything like that here. I'm glad you joined in today's hop!

Thanks for participating in the OWH Memorial Day 2014 Blog Hop. Love looking at all your cards.
Two wondweful cards! I love the visual pop! Lucky you to find a bargain! WTG!!!
Hi Cora, I always love seeing your cards. I really like the patterned paper as one of the mats for the sentiment on your first card and the second cards sentiment is just gorgeous and looks terrific with the string of hearts. I started visiting our local Goodwill after seeing your great finds from thrift stores, and thanks to you, I have come home with some great stamps. Hope you have a great weekend and are enjoying the TE die.
Great cards Cora! I guess I need to start shopping at thrift stores for some great finds like yours! Have a great day and thanks for supporting OWH.
Love the dangling hearts card!
Love that wet look.
So sweet, love the one with the little hanging hearts!
Another fan for the hanging heart stamp. And the sentiment works so perfectly with it. Wonderful cards!
Gotta love a good thrift store! Win-win for everybody. Thanks for sharing and for your support of OWH.

Both cards are wonderful, no matter what they were colored with LOL. I love the hanging strings of hearts on that second card especially!
The hanging hearts stamp is really a nice image. Don't you just love it when you find a great stamp at the thrift store!
Wonderful cards, the hanging hearts is very unique!
Beautiful cards, Cora Jean! I really love the hanging hearts stamp!
Oh Cora your cards are so cute. I like the "love" card a lot.
Two fabulous cards -- can't pick a favorite! TFS!
Your cards are very pretty and sweet!
Love the primitive Americana look of these cards.
I like both cards; the stamp plus the die cut U in the first work together so well! and I like the lighter blue plaid paper in the second. Nice job!
These are great.
cool frame on the first card
Great heart banner on the second:)
I love both cards, but especially the one with the hanging hearts. Looks so much like clean laundry hanging on the line! Nice and homespun. Thanks for supporting OWH and for sharing your beautiful cards!

Your cards are fantastic. I enjoyed finding yet another place to buy stamps.
Wonderful cards and I love your mother in law's statement.
very creative cards. Keep up the good work.
Awesome cards.
Both cards are nice-I am leaning towards the first one-I like the Love stamp
Thanks for making and sharing!
Very cute--isn't it great to use older supplies that haven't seen the light lately? I especially like the second card with the hearts and the paper--it reminds me of a soft blanket. Maybe i need sleep? TFS!
Great cards! I love them! Thank you!
Great cards, love the papers you used.
What fun cards. Makes me want to spread a quilt under a tree and pull out the picnic basket. Thanks for being a hop stop
Great cards! I too once scrapbooked and happened upon making cards after I retired. Yeah!
Both cards are wonderful. The white with the red stamping is very effective.
Great cards but I particularly enjoyed the gem of a sentiment from your. MIL...sounds like a wise and fun lady! Thanks for sharing.
Love both of your cards. I have the SU I miss you stamp. I use it a lot on masculine cards.
Cora, I love your cards. I really like the patterned paper layer. I never think to use patterned paper for a layer, but I love the look!
