Hello and welcome, friends! Today I'm sharing some projects created with fun new products from the new Star Spangled Summer release from The Greetery! This is the perfect collection for patriotic projects and beyond! As you can see, my first two projects are for other occasions, which makes this collection so versatile! The official "meet and greet" for all of the new products will be over on The Greetery Blog. And, as always, make sure to leave a comment here, and on each of the designers' blogs, for a chance to win one of two $50 digital gift cards to the shop!
Up first is a celebratory card for all kinds of occasions; this could definitely be used for graduation, accomplishments, new job, etc. The next two projects feature products in the Star Stream Suite of products; this one using the Star Stream 3D embossing folder and the new Star Stream sentiments and Star Stream Hot Foil.
To begin, I used the Star Stream Hot Foil on a pale blue cardstock with champagne foil. Once that was done, I carefully lined it up inside the Star Stream embossing folder and ran it through my machine, setting it up the sandwich for the correct type of folder. Once that was done, I trimmed it down to 4 by 5 1/4 inches and mounted it on a top-folding A2 card base using foam squares.
The sentiments, which are both from the Star Stream Sentiments Stamp/Die set, are heat embossed in gold and then added using foam squares. I gave it a spritz of shimmer spray and added a trio of sparkling clear sequins. I used the Star Stream Stencil to decorate the flap of the envelop and then stamped the sentiment using gold ink.
My next card uses the Star Stream stencil and the Star Stream Die. I can't wait to try using the stencil with the 3d embossing folder. I have an idea for how I want to use it, so stay tuned!
These sentiments are also included in the Star Stream Sentiment Stamp Set. I used the gold ink for these.
To begin, I die cut an A2 panel with the Star Stream Die and then used the Star Stream stencil over the top. I chose some warm pink tones for a baby card.
Which, I was thinking how cute this sentiment would be using the These are the Days Collection! I created a coordinating envelope for this card as well!
My next two cards feature the new Land of Liberty Suite of products and I couldn't resist pulling in the flowers using the Best Bouquet Details Die! I'm personally obsessed with this suite of products; they are SO user-friendly with amazing results!
To begin both cards, I die cut all of the pieces I would need for two bouquets from white cardstock. I colored them using distress oxide inks and finger sponge daubers. Once everything was colored and assembled, I set them aside to dry.
The background is created using the Star Stream Hot Foil and champagne foil on a 4 by 5 1/4 inch panel of blue cardstock. I added faded jeans distress oxide ink around the edges for added dimension.
I die cut all of the pieces for the bow from white cardstock and colored it the same as the bouquet.
The sentiments/fonts for the Land of Liberty Stamp Set AND Star Stream Sentiments are absolutely gorgeous! I stamped it in black and then die cut it using the Land of Liberty Die.
My next card uses the new Flag border; I'm so excited for this border because it easily creates a patriotic border with minimal effort and I just love how it looks!
I gave the edges a vintage look by adding some antique linen distress oxide ink. I layered the bouquet using foam squares for added dimension.
Another gorgeous sentiment and shimmer spray finish off this patriotic design!
My last card for today is very straight-forward and would be perfect for mass-producing or invitations to a 4th of July party!
I used the Grand Finale Die for the background and then did the stenciling using the Grand Finale stencil. The red portion is from the stencil and the blue is from the cardstock panel underneath.
The Grand Finale Die also includes the dies to create the pimwheels and rockets.
I added small gems to the centers of the pinwheels and fireworks.
The white portion is an A2 size, but I chose to make my card bigger by creating a red base and adding it using foam squares. Don't forget to head to the other designers' blogs to leave a comment! Thanks for fluttering by!
