KS June 2021 Release – Galactic Descendants

Hi KS fans! Thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s the last day of the Kindred Stamps Release Week for June 2021 and I am excited to share a sneak peek of the Galactic Descendants set. In case you missed it, you can check out my sneak peak projects of the new Soak Up the Sun set here. These sets and the rest of the June release will be available on Friday, June 25th at 8 AM PST.

I used my Copic markers to color all the galactic characters. I have provided a coloring guide at the end of this blog post.

Project 1

For my first card, I made a project featuring the family rebel. I wanted the card background to coordinate with his cracked helmet so I used Red Foil from Thermoweb to create the vibrant red cracks. To create the cracked design I used 1/8″ double sided tape to lay out the pattern. I made sure to cut the tape at an angle instead of tearing the tape so that I had nice clean lines. After placing the tape and peeling off the backing paper I laid a piece of red foil over the card front. I used a bone folder to make sure the red foil attached to the double sided tape.

 After placing the foil I die cut the card front with the stitched rectangle die from the Card Basics Die Set and matted it with red and black cardstock to make an A2 sized card front. To finish the card I heat embossed the sentiment with Snowfall Embossing Powder onto a red sentiment strip. I used foam tape to attach the character and the sentiment strip to the card front for some dimension.

Project 2

For my second project I made a sunrise desert scene to coordinate with the card sentiment. The sentiment is a play on “You’re a Ray of Sunshine.” To create the sun rays I used the Good Morning Sunshine Stencil from Trinity Stamps with Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide inks. I used Spiced Marmalade Distress ink to create the splatter effect on the sunshine rays background. Next I die cut the stitched hillsides and ink blended them with Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide inks. I used Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress inks to create the splatter effect on the sand.

Next, I die cut a stitched circle with the Card Basics Die Set and ink blended it with Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. I used plain water for the splatter effect on the stitched circle to give it a textured look. I tucked the circle behind the sand to make it look like a rising sun.

I stamped the sentiment with black pigment ink and I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder right onto the card background and the sand die cuts. I glued the character to the front most sandy hillside. To finish the card I added some gold and orange sequins for embellishment.

Project 3

My third project is an interactive slider card where the robot droid rolls back to his human friend! I decided to make the card front a little simple and I just used a decorative sheet from the Galactic Paper Pack. The background paper I chose is perfect for a planet exploration scene. I die cut the designed paper with the stitched rectangle from the Card Basics Die Set and matted it onto green and orange solid colored cardstock.

Next, I stamped the sentiment with black pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder so the sentiment wouldn’t smear on the background paper. I used the Pull and Slide Die Set to create the interactive slider mechanism. I tried to create a slider mechanism where the head stayed up right but the body could roll but that didn’t turn out very well so I stuck with a regular slider card.

Check out the slider mechanism in this video below:

Project 4

For my fourth project I used more paper from the Galactic Paper Pack to decorate the card. I used the striped paper and galaxy paper to make it look like the inside of a space ship. I used die cut cuts from the Card Basics Die Set to decorate the card front. I used a piece of acetate and the stitched circle frame to make it look like a space ship window. I used blue and purple cardstock to decorate the card to coordinate with the galaxy in the window.

I heat embossed the sentiment strip and sentiment flag with the Snowfall Embossing Powder. The main sentiment is a play on “You’re Fantastic.” I used foam dots to attach the character to the card front and I added silver sparkle sequins for additional embellishment.

Project 5

For my last project I wanted to create a unlikely Valentine’s Day card featuring the robot droid. The card sentiment is a play on “Be Mine.” I stamped the sentiment with black pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I layered the the heart and front card panel with orange cardstock where I ink blended with Ripe Persimmon ink and the Circuit Stencil. The front card panel is another design in the Galactic Paper Pack. I die cut it with the stitched rectangle die from the Card Basics Die Set. I die cut the hearts from the Nesting Heart dies from Hero Arts.

To finish my last card I attached the robot to the card front with foam circles and I added black glossy sequins for embellishment.
