Christmas in July - Kitchen Sink Stamps

 The Clean and Simple Challenge over on Splitcoaststampers today allowed me to use one of the fun digital sentiments from Kitchen Sink Stamps' 2022 KSS Holiday A2 Card Kit which has so many wonderful sentiments for foiling or for digital printing on my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design for this week. Since I haven't taken on foiling yet, I printed the sentiment strip on my computer and mounted in on the card front over a panel of gold glitter paper.

The poinsettia and leaves were stamped on SVG cut files available for use with Christmas Poinsettia and layered on top.



This card has also been entered in the following challenges this week:

Double Trouble - Challenge #143 - Christmas in July

Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog - Challenge #30 - Stencils and/or Christmas in July + a Sentiment

Happy 4th - Kitchen Sink Stamps

Since tomorrow is July 4th, I am taking one more opportunity to showcase the stunning American flag from Kitchen Sink Stamps' Stars & Stripes American Flag before I clear it off my desk to start designing with my beach images next week. Every time I create with this amazing image, I can just hear the flag popping in the wind!

Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design was created for a fisherman friend who always celebrates the 4th of July with a fishing trip to the river!

This slimline card features images from the following KSS sets:


Stars & Stripes American Flag

Classic Old Truck

Village Stone Bridge

Isle of Big Bay Lake

Tree Friends

Words 4 Celebrating




 The flag, truck, and bridge were stamped on SVG cut files which were created for use with these images. The clouds were created with the SVG Cut Stencil Cloudy Skies, also available from KSS.

I am entering this card in the following challenges this week:

Addicted to Stamps and More - Challenge #449 - Any Occasion
