NEW Patriotic Stamp Sets from Crafter's Companion

We have MORE NEW GOODIES over at Crafter's Companion USA! Two brand new EZ-Mount Patriotic Stamp Sets! YAY!

Here's a card I made using stamps from both of the new sets: 4th of July and Independence Day.

These new sets are PERFECT for all year long...not just 4th of July. They will be great to use birthdays, thank you cards, summer theme, New Years and even Christmas! I'll be using the banner stamps with sentiments from other sets as well! SCORE!

I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Markers as follows:
  • Red - PP3, CR5, DR4, DR6
  • Blue - TB4, Blender
  • Yellow - CT1, CT3, GB6


Stamping Tips: 
Apply ink to only the firecracker, leaving the string and burst uninked. Now you can stamp the 3 star sentiment image on top instead. This is a great way to get more designs from your stamps!

Another fun idea with the stars is to change up the text in the stars. Just don't ink the centers of that part of the stamp image, and you're left with a blank center to customize as you wish!

Crafter's Companion has freebie patriotic papers for everyone! I printed one of them for my cardbase. You could even print on both sides of the cardstock for some fun double-sided designer papers. They work great for 3D projects - such as boxes and bags!


Have a wonderful weekend!
