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:

To Celebrate Flag Day - Kitchen Sink Stamps

For my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored slimline design today, I have returned to the Stars & Stripes American Flag to create a card in honor of Flag Day which is celebrated across the United States on June 14. I have included a strip of one of the newly released digital backgrounds from the set called Linear Backgrounds. These are created by KSS for those people who love foiling their cards. That is not a skill that I have mastered so I used it here by printing it on white cardstock and blending a variety of blues over the top of the panel.

In addition to Linear Backgrounds, Kitchen Sink Stamps has also released Wild Side, Happy Flowers, and Elegant Scrolls for your foiling delight! 

The eagle topped flag pole is a part of an SVG cut file set created for use with Stars & Stripes American Flag. Check it out!
