We have some exciting news for you today and we have practically been bursting at the seams to share it with you!
We wanted to end the year with a special little thank you to all of our dedicated customers. Check out this Customer Appreciation Freebie, which includes a mini stamp set AND the coordinating dies!
This mini set features a hand-lettered version of the word "celebrate", which has all kinds of applications! Accent the focal point word with a colorful multi-step banner, or a sentiment flag. There are even a few different options for confetti to make things look really festive! The coordinating dies make this collection so easy to use and layer. Everything is the perfect size for both cards and tags!
A few measurements for your reference:
- Celebrate, 2" x 2-1/8"
- Assembled Banner, 2-3/8" x 1/2"
- Assembled Sentiment Flag & Pole, 1-3/4" x 1-1/8"
Now, onto a few projects using this fabulous set!
I thought it would be nice to just start out with a color visual of what I had "envisioned" this set doing when the pieces were put together.
This three-step banner is SO easy to line-up, and I always love images that allow me to incorporate more than one color.
The flag tucks in nicely to the right of the "A". There are two different sentiments that are included to fit on the flag, or of course you could leave it blank. Might be fun to experiment with some of the smaller sentiments in your stash to see if they would fit as well!
The large "celebrate" is stamped in Limeade Ice, providing a nice contrast with the banner and flag.
My next card is a bit more masculine and embraces the gold trend that is so popular right now.
I stamped the sentiment and stars in VersaMark onto the Dark Indigo cardstock, and then brushed it with gold Perfect Pearls. It's like magic when brushing it onto dark cardstock like this!
I adhered several small rounded jewels in a scattered fashion, giving you the feeling of looking at the night sky.
This would also be pretty in silver!
The "Celebrate" sentiment is really the star of the show with this set. Here I heat embossed it in white onto watercolor paper and used markers to add some ink, finishing it with a water pen.
After it dried, I doodled a little graduation cap at an angle on top of the "c".
You could use watercolors that fit with the graduates school colors possibly.
This little "For the Graduate" sentiment from the Keep It Simple collection helped adapt the card to be graduation specific.
The "Celebrate" stamp also does a wonderful job at filling in entire backgrounds. Here I did so with Soft Stone and just love the results.
A single sentiment was added in black, followed by the banners.
Stamped confetti using the same colors as the banners trickles down from the top of the sentiment.
I also added some sequins for some extra texture.
After heat embossing the "Celebrate" on this card, I thought it would be fun to play around with some doodling.
I used a white gel pen to go in and add some stars, squiggles and zags.
I drew a line underneath and heat embossed "this moment" from the previously released Wet Paint.
A nice masculine card that has a bit of fun too.
I have one more "just for fun" card. I really wanted to figure out a way to make each of the letters their own color.
I ended up stamping the "Celebrate" sentiment in Soft Stone and outlined each letter with black pen. I was then able to go back in and color them with Copic markers. I added some shadowing lines as well to give the letters a bit of dimension. There are all kinds of things you could do with this concept!

Mary W says
I just had a little idea that others may want to copy. I love to art journal and find reasons to make different journals to feed my addiction. I loved seeing all your ways to use this set so much. Then it hit me. I should make an “art journal” for my stamps and dies. Each month I drool over all the gorgeous ways your designers have used your products and then say I’ll come back when I get my stamps and copy some. But don’t do much. If I had a journal to “play” with my new arrivals, I could document the ways they could be used and refer back to the designers examples while they were fresh. Then do a couple pages of my own for reference later. That would be one very useful and much used journal!
