The entire Design Team is featuring projects for the waltz. You should be arriving here from Clare Buswell's blog but you can always go back to Claire Brennan's blog for the entire list.
I could barely wait to ink up both sets! But with Flag Day and July 4th quickly approaching, I had to use USA 1776 first. I stamped the little star pattern that was made to coordinate with the largest star pre-cut from the Spellbinders Stars 5 Nestabilities set.
I continue my little obsession with denim and woodgrain paper! I also made some red stripes using the plaid pattern from the previously-released set Pic-Nic Patterns.
The medallion was made with some denim patterned paper. Love the beautiful font of this sentiment with the cute "stitched" number 4 from USA 1776!
Up next is the sweet Country Labels 4!
That little cherry stole my heart right away. It made me think of this adorable paper from Melissa Frances called "Kitschy Kitchen!"
I cut the outside label with Spellbinders Labels 4 Nestabilities, and then cut and paper pieced the inside stitched label and popped it up on dimensionals. The little cherry is colored with Tim Holtz Distress markers. Love how it looks like a teeny watercolored image :)!
Don't forget about the traditional Release Day contest! One random comment from all of the DT members' blogs will be chosen and the prize is a stamp set of choice!

Love your layereing of the rosette on the flag Kelly! and your cherry paper is perfect with the lace and ribbon!
These are both so pretty! You know I just love your gingham touches :-)
I love the star medallion, it looks amazing paired with that rosette...your colours have such a country feel, which is perfect since you are celebrating your "country" :)
Love the star with the rosette! Gorgeous cards!

Love these cards!!
Very nice cards...love the stripes of red on the first and the way you put the sentiment over the ribbon on the 2nd.
Love both of your cards and your interpretation of the sets!
Love all the texture.
Both of your cards are well done and very pretty!
Love your card.
Gorgeous star medallion , beautiful embossed detail on that card too! Your second card is so warm and cozy , beautiful work here as usual Kelly!
Beautiful cards! I love these new sets so much! :)
The cherry stamp is adorable and the paper is perfect. Well done.
Ooh! Just look at your cards. I love them Kelly, the cherries are so sweet and look so summery with that cherry paper. I absolutely love how you stamped your plaid and cut it out. I honestly have never seen that done before and love that idea...adds so much texture and almost looks like ribbon. Great job with this release, loved your cards today.
I love, love, love these, Kelly. What a great idea you had for embellishing that patriotic star. The paper flower and button are perfect for this design.
Your "Thank you" card is so adorable. Love the country feel that you have achieved with the lace and gingham. Fantastic job.
Love that cherry card!
These are both great. I particularly love the 4th of July card. The textures/patterns work so well together.
Oh how I love what you do with a country feel, Kelly! That second card is amazing! The colored cherry and your little label are just adorable!
What a great name for a blog! Loving gingham myself, I had a great chuckle! These new sets are both fantastic, but the Country Labels are my faves!
Love the woodgrain and star/rosette on the first one and how the cherries match the paper on the second.
Love these, Kelly! Your star with the rosette and wooden button looks fabulous! And your second card is so sweet. The papers and lace are perfect!
I love the star with the rosette. They look so pretty together and the woodgrain background, as well!
Hold the phone! I thought those red stripes were ribbon. Great stamping. I love the wood grain and the sewing and the rosette. The wood grain embossing on the sentiment panel is awesome.
As if that were not enough, here comes the adorable Thank You card. The subtle colors are wonderful. I love them. Beyond that I love cherries. All the stamping and layers and embellishment is just right.
Can you tell I love these cards?
Your rosette is darling, such beautiful cards.
Love both cards! Especially like the wood grain and denim on the patriotic card!

Kelly, these cards are Absolutely Beautiful!! Love both of them, and I think you did some Amazing stamping there. The medallion & star look so gorgeous against the woodgrain background, and the cherry looks good enough to eat. LOVE!!!
Just love the gingham card, it makes me want apple pie!!! I must must must have the new country labels stamps!
Great cards! This is such a fun release. I especially love that first card. The star part stamps in the set are so clever!
Kelly--these are just stunning.
Love the blue on blue for the star, using the image with little stars on it.
I think they are both fab! I love the different backgrounds on the label and those cherries are super! Your 4th July card is brilliant!
Aren't these both so cute!? Love the addition of the woodgrain on the first. It's a great combo.
So cute! Love the stars and strips and the cherries! (I grew up on a cherry farm... brings back such memories.)
thank you for sharing.
I love what you created with the new sets.
Great cards! I love the cherries!
