Fun release! Lots of creativity using these products. Thanks!
I am so, so happy to see some new, unique patriotic products. It is so rare. I love so much of this release!
I ❤️🤍💙 all the Patriotic! This group of products will be my cards for this year’s Veteran’s Day cards I send to our local VA and die cuts make them much easier to mass produce…and what stunning cards these dies make.
Thank you for all the amazing inspiration!😁
Betsy. You never cease to amaze me. This is another absolutely stunning release. Just love everything, but super excited about the Star Shine series.
Love all of the red, white, and blue! Looking forward to creating with these new products!
Such a lovely collection! That bow! Love!
Wonderful collection! My favorites are the fantastic Stars & Stripes Bow and the Grand Finale! My anniversary is the 4th of July, so I am always partial to celebrating that holiday!
This release is so versatile! I LOVE the patriotic theme but the products can be used for so many other themes. I was thinking the other day that Betsy has never done an embossing folder – and here’s the first! Using the hoopla die to create the planets is genius!
Bring on the stars, flags, fireworks, and pinwheels. What a fun collection!
Wow, lots to take in! Very clever to make planets out of the mini hoopla die. I love the hot foil stars – any chance you might branch into press plates next?
Love fireworks and yours are beautiful and fun!
Betsy, As I watch your videos I am amazed at your talent to engineer these products. As a long time follower, I trust coordinating items will pair perfectly. I love the versatility of this release. I think I need it all. ; )

Who ever thought of that bow/flag is brilliant!! Such a cool die and so is the other flag. Beautiful, patriotic release!!
Super fun release! The Star Stream products are so cool. Off to see what the design team created.
4th of July is definitely the biggest hoorah of the summer! Loving that flag bow and the sentiments are so wonderful. The only bad about the 4th is it usually marks the end of summertime. Love this collection. As usual Betsy, you knocked this one out of the park. Thanks

I love the patriotic holidays but rarely buy card making products for them because it’s usually just the same old stuff. BUT THIS COLLECTION IS AMAZING!!! It’s elegant, whimsical without being cutesy and so versatile. The products are awesome and all of the makes by you and the design team are gorgeous!
I enjoy making fourth of July cards so this new release makes me smile!
