Hi crafty and creative Greetery loving friends! I hope this week is treating you good so far!! Happy almost Summer! I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend. The temps are heating up here and (can you believe it) it's almost June! And that means it's time for Summer crafting! Yeah!
I've been at my new job a couple of months now and it's so good to not be new anymore. I think I actually had one day where it felt like I knew what I was doing! Haha. So grateful for the opportunities that await me! I read this quote recently and it is so true: "Walk in like God opened that door for you, because He did. Stop second guessing yourself. No more insecurity or doubt. You're not here by accident. You're on assignment. You don't need every answer. You just need obedience, courage, and the reminder that God has been equipping you for this moment your whole life. Everything can change with one act of faithfulness. All it takes is one person, one meeting, one conversation, or one opportunity to shift everything in your life. You're not walking alone - God is with you."
Today is VERY VERY exciting because it's the reveal and showcase day for the new Summer 2025 Greetery release! OHHHHH YEAAAAAHHHHH! The new release is called the Star Spangled Summer Collection! There are stamps, and dies and stencils with a celebration and patriotic theme. Festive, Fun, classy, creative AND pretty!

My first card for today features the AWESOME brand new Wave the Flag Dies along with the new Land of Liberty stamp set! I made a vintage inspired card by using cream, navy and deep red colors along with pops of rich gold! My finished card is a horizontal A2 cream card base. I started by die cutting the flag pieces in red and navy. I used embossing ink to smudge along the outer edges of the blue portions and then used gold embossing powder to give that gold effect on the edges. I stamped that gorgeous sentiment in gold embossing onto a vellum circle. I used Distress Ink to ink around the edges of my card and to splatter onto the card (for that old antique look!).... I used stars and numbers die cut from gold glitter cardstock to complete my uber patriotic card, perfect for the 4th of July!!

My next card features the brand new Star Stream Suite of products - there are stamps, dies, stencils, foiling, and embossing folder! Whew! It's VERY cool. I used the stencils and dies to create this super colorful and cheerful card. I intend my card for a graduation card! Reach for the stars! My finished card is an A2 cream card base, layered with the die cut panel that I stenciled. I used vellum again for my sentiment, and bright gold stars all around. I stenciled in red, navy and gold....and accented again with gold splatters and gold stars. (I'm pretty sure I had a pair of pants like this back in the 70's! hahahah) I can imagine this in a whole bunch of colors! The sentiment is from the brand new Star Stream stamp set! Isn't this unique and fabulous??

My third card today features the brand new Grand Finale dies along with the brand new Land of Liberty Stamp set (you're gonna want this stamp set for sure!)... I used traditional colors of red, white and blue.... Then added pops of silver and glitter glue too. It's bright! My finished care is a white A2 card base layered with red cardstock. Then I put down silver glitter cardstock - to show through the die cut fireworks. I die cut out the panel and also the fireworks and pinwheels. I used blue ink to stencil on the fireworks. Added my sentiment in blue and added a few gems and pearls. This die that cuts the large scene is so super detailed. Overall, it's a party on a card!
