Happy Thursday, crafty friends! ✨ It’s time to break out the streamers and celebrate—because the Star Spangled Summer release from The Greetery is here! This collection is bursting with festive flair, featuring stars, ribbons, streamers, and all the patriotic goodness to make your summer celebrations shine. Whether you're crafting for Fourth of July, honoring loved ones, or just embracing the season’s joy, these designs will bring a touch of red, white, and blue magic to your creations!

From bold, star-studded designs to dynamic layers that capture movement and excitement, this release offers something for every occasion. I’ve had so much fun bringing these elements to life, and I can’t wait to share my projects with you!

The new products go live tomorrow, and trust me—you won’t want to miss the endless creative possibilities they bring. Whether you're making heartfelt cards or decking out your party décor, I hope these designs spark inspiration and excitement. And don't forget—this post is part of a blog hop with amazing GIVEAWAYS too! Keep reading for all the details!

Celebrate the spirit of summer and patriotism with this festive card set! Featuring the Land of Liberty stamp and die set, Stars & Stripes Bow die, and Wave the Flag Border die, these designs are full of star-spangled charm. Bold colors, flowing ribbons, and classic Americana details come together to create heartfelt cards perfect for honoring loved ones, celebrating special occasions, or simply spreading a little red, white, and blue joy. Whether you're crafting for Independence Day, a thoughtful thank-you, or just embracing the season, these pieces bring a touch of warmth and pride to every creation.

A Star was Born birthday card

Card size: A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 (inches) - click on the images above to see them larger.

There’s something about this card that instantly brings a smile—it’s pure magic! ✨ Created with The Greetery's Star Stream product suite, it’s a swirl of dreamy pastels, shimmering gold stars, and a touch of childhood nostalgia. The colors remind me of My Little Pony, that perfect mix of whimsy and wonder, like stepping into a world where everything sparkles just a little bit brighter.

I had so much fun bringing this one to life, and if you want to see the magic unfold, you can watch the whole process over on The Greetery’s YouTube channel! It’s always amazing to see a card come together, layer by layer, and I hope it inspires you to create something just as special. 💫

Reach for the Stars card

Card size: A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 (inches) - click on the images above to see them larger.

Sometimes, a card just feels like a party waiting to happen! 🎉 This design, created with the Grand Finale stencil & die set, is all about joy, celebration, and confetti-filled moments—without leaning too heavily into the patriotic theme. Instead of classic reds, whites, and blues, I played with a more versatile, vibrant color palette, making it perfect for birthdays, big achievements, or any moment that deserves a little extra fanfare.

The layered bursts and festive details make it feel like a grand entrance, the kind that says, “You did it!” or “Let’s celebrate YOU!”—and that’s exactly the kind of card I love sending. I hope this one inspires you to bring your own colorful, celebratory twist to your crafting!
