I am uploading two cards tonight. Only had time for a little bit of stamping this evening but I was so excited to use my new stamps from Our Daily Bread : Old Flag Background and Not Forgotten.
On the first card I used S/U Brilliant Blue Real Red. Straight stitch around perimeter and each stripe section.
On this next card I used S/U Night of Navy and Real Red and zig-zaged each stripe section.
Not sure which way I like best. But they were both fun to do. I know I will keep experimenting with these sets. I love them and so great for the cards I sent to Operation Write Home.

I like them both, but I love the blue you used in the second one, but the ribbon in the first.
