Hello there! Today is the first group post with Papertrey Ink. For the first group post we are featuring the new Simple Stars stamp set and coordinating Cover Plate die.
The nice things about the new Simple Stars stamp set is that it can work easily for both masculine and feminine cards. This first card is a bit more masculine. My brother is very patriotic and would love something like this. I die cut three panels of blue cardstock with the Stars Cover Plate and layered them for thickness. I also adhere a some red, gold and lighter blue stars in a few of the openings and embossed the sentiment in white.
This next card is a litte more feminine .
First I ran a piece of white cardstock through the Star Cover Plate die and then stamped them in various colors and patterns from the Simple Stars stamp set. I stitched the stars to the card front to create a fun banner look.
I just know that the rest of the design team probably came up with some amazing ideas using this new stamp set and die. Check them out and drool away:)

You’re the first on my Papertrey journey and I’m already drooling. Looks like this die is going to come to a good home.
Love ’em both, Laura!
Awesome cards, love that star cover plate, so many possibilities!
Love both of these cards! That is a great cover plate!
Both cards are really fabulous, Laura! I love the patriotic color combo on the first one, and your stitched banners are so fun on the 2nd one! You always showcase new products beautifully…I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us!!!
I really like them both. The masculine one has a crispness that is energizing. The female version is just plain fun…
Wonderful cards. I really like the sewing on the second card, Very unique.
You always show off the versatility of the stamps and dies so well. Love the star banner.

You , creative genius, you! LOVE them both!
These are so pretty! And the rainbow star garland is incredible 🙂
Great cards, Laura! Love how you’ve used Simple Stars and made two completely different kinds of cards. Nice sewing as well! They’d make a great baby card too, or an Oscar Party invitation; very versatile set.
Love them!!
Really cute star cards! The banner star card is amazing! I can’t sew a straight line! Fab work!
