Today I am going to be introducing a few new dies that are perfect for all of you wanting patriotic dies. The Basic Star Die, Stars & Stripes Star Details Die, Nautical Star Details Die and Stars & Stripes Heart Details Die are sure to become instant favorites!
Let's take a closer look at the Basic Star Die (retails for $24).
Simple, customizable shapes are the swiss army knife of every crafter’s collection. The Basic Star can be tailored to celebrate nearly any occasion, making it an invaluable tool to have at your fingertips. This die includes two sizes of star to suit a wide variety of creative projects. Use these stars alone or pair them with one of the coordinating details dies to make something truly unique and special!
The Stars & Stripes Star Die (retails for $24 - coordinates with the Basic Star Die which retails separately for $24).
Put a patriotic spin on your Basic Star shapes using this Stars & Stripes Details Die. These stars are ideal for Memorial Day, Independence Day, or even to celebrate a beloved veteran.

Now that you've gotten a peek, let's see what the Guest Creators have to share with you today.
Lisa has given her stick jar fillers such a fabulous rustic feel! I love the button embellishments!
These ornaments by Michelle are so fun and cheerful! I just love the floral embellishments on the Statement Numeral!
I've also been hard at work, so let's jump into my projects! I don't have much in the way of patriotic decor, so I had a lot of fun putting these banners and ornaments together.
My first project is a banner that I made with the Statement Alphabet and Statement Numerals.
I used the Stars & Stripes Star Details with the Basic Star to dress up the ends and separate the words.
I used the drawn star design on the smaller stars and embellished with some beads and sequins.
I used the Accessory Alphabet to add the "TH" to the Statement Numerals 4 Die. This big banner will be perfect for the large window in our dining room!
Next up, I have a smaller banner with a few letters and the Basic Heart, Stars & Stripes Heart Details Die.
I used the Statement Alphabet to spell out the USA and added the hearts to both ends.
I embellished these hearts with beads for a bit of sparkle.
This one will be great for a window!
My last group of projects is a set of ornaments that I made to hang on our summer tree. I used the Nautical Star Details Die for all of these.
I made a couple with monograms to personalize them.
The other two I decorated a little differently.
I used the Accessory Alphabet and Accessory Numerals dies to spell out "1776 USA" on the first one. I used the little star from the die set to embellish the numbers.
On the other ornament I used the drawn star. The beads on the ends of the star add just the right amount of interest.
I'm really looking forward to having these hanging this summer!

I live in a tourist town that has HUGE 4th of July celebrations on the beach, so it’s literally all around me!
I love the ⭐️🌟stars. They are all adorable. I have always decorated very patriotic over the 4th. We love the parades and fireworks. Our son and daughter in law usually have a big party
Love the family get-together for a cookout, homemade ice cream, and watching the fireworks!
I absolutely love the stars! The Nautical ones are calling me! I can’t wait to see what I could do with them!
We always celebrate the 4th of July! Usually we are at my son’s house, and we watch the boat parade on the lake, go to the local parade, have a cook-out, and enjoy the company of our family, which only gets together twice a year. Its’ a great day!
I love to celebrate July 4th with a big family BBQ. It would be fun to be able to decorate with these great felted ornaments. These are great dies!!
