Celebrate Summer - Patchwork Style!

Last week, I woke up with one of those a-ha moments. I'd been working on a project the night before and had lots of spare pieces of the Gina K Stars and Stripes Digital Paper download still on my desktop.  This paper is available as a free download on Stamp TV and can be found HERE! 

I was able to quickly piece together the patterns to fit a 5 1/4 square card.  

I've used both of the new Pure Luxury Cardstocks - Rocket Red and In The Navy.  I sewed each patchwork square with my favorite zig zag stitch.  Then finished the panel by using my tonic edge distresser all around the edges.

The stars and the sentiment are stamped from the new one free with three stamp set titled "The Lazy Days of Summer." This adorable gingham ribbon is part of the latest Stamp TV Kit

If you haven't been over to Stamp TV - you'll want to be sure that you head on over to see the next project with the new Eclectic Summer Kit! While you're there, please be sure to give a warm welcome to the latest members of the Senior Design Team - Lee Murphy, Cathy Tidwell and Lynn Mercurio.  

How could I forget, even more big news!  Gina also announced our Center Stage Spotlight Design Team - these six papercrafters will be part of our design team blog hop in June and they will each receive one of our not-yet-released stamp sets to feature during the blog hop. The ladies who do not have blogs will participate using their StampTV "My page." You can read all about it, and meet our talented guests here on Gina's blog!
