Superstar Sash Celebration
by Jeanne Jachna

Jeanne Jachna, Watercolor

Summer celebrations are in full swing!  I'm seeing graduation and pool parties all over the neighborhood.   I'm even hearing fireworks throughout the night – my poor dog!  I almost made this card red white and blue to celebrate the 4th, but I couldn't resist adding a rainbow of color instead! 

Have you seen the new "sash" style dies yet?  They only cut across the top and bottom of the die – they remain attached on either end.  These are great for just slipping a colorful sheet of card stock behind to let the die take center stage!   I cut the Superstar Sash four times across the front panel of my card.  I alternated the cut direction – flipping the die on every other cut so  some have the loop facing up, and others have the loop facing down.

2I colored the rainbow panel with Peerless Watercolors from Birch Press Design.  To get that splotchy effect I pressed the paper between two large acrylic blocks I use for stamping and let them dry in between them.

I embellished my card with gold glitter stars cut from the same die (The Superstar Sash).  They add just the right amount of sparkle!

I double cut the "Decor Celebrate" die – once from gold glitter paper, and once from gold foil.  I stacked them to make the sentiment bolder and easier to read.

This is so fun and colorful – it looks party ready doesn't it?

  5. What a fab card love the bright colours and the sash dies remove the need of working out how to stick down fiddly die cuts, more for the wish lish that just keeps getting longer.

  6. Wow Jeanne !!! This is fabulous, I love the ‘rainbow’ of colours, so very effective, and these dies are fabulous, and how you can ‘slip’ your rainbow card underneath, how very effective is this !!! I also love the two different gold papers used on the ‘celebrate’ sentiment with the ‘dropped shadow’ technique. So very pretty and vibrant, I love this !!
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
