Celebration Chest - Made Easy

Hi friends,

Today we are celebrating the summer holidays and celebratory events with a little fanfare! The Celebration Chest Finishing School Refill Kit has everything you need to add festivity and fireworks to your paper projects! Inside are over 200 wonderful pieces to craft with including cards, layers, embellishments, sentiments and more. We have paired this kit with a few choice items from our craft room to make a congratulatory card that is bursting with texture and firework-like details. If you don't have this kit, then this week is the time to get it on sale on our website this week! 

Let's make papercrafting sparks fly!

First we cut one of the navy layers with the large, intricate die from the Celebration Chest Embossing Folders and Dies.

The inside, intricate die from the  Celebration Chest Embossing Folders and Dies makes the perfect, gold embellishment that looks just like a firework!
To add texture to your card, use the embossing folder from the  Celebration Chest Embossing Folders and Dies to emboss gorgeous details onto a card from the refill kit.
Add the blue layer to your embossed card with foam adhesive.
Next, add one of the layers from the kit and place on top of the navy diecut layer.
The gold, firework layer is also added with foam adhesive.
Add 2 gold foil flourishes as shown.
Then, add 2 red flourishes to add more movement.
Attach one of the festive bunting stickers and a congratulations banner sentiment sticker.
Finish your card with the round embellishment with a gold star. 
Whether you are sending congratulations for a graduation, promotion or even a successful campaign, you will find that the Celebration Chest Finishing School Refill Kit is just the thing to celebrate with!
The Celebration Chest Finishing School Refill Kit is full of amazing red, white and blue patterns. Create paper ribbons for the celebration.
How adorable are these mini pinwheels on this card for dad?
Collage the included embellishments until your heart's content! We love seeing all of the different parts and pieces come together.
This kit is so much fun to play with! From Bold Stripes, Brave Hearts to 3 Cheers For You and For My Favorite Guy to For My Hero, you will find yourself reaching for this celebratory kit time and time again. Mix and match these solids and patterns for an easy, coordinated card every time. Be sure to share what you make with us on our social media channels
This tutorial will stay on the blog for the next week, and afterwards to be added to our archive of incredible crafting videos in Finishing School. Access all things Anna Griffin with your AG Membership; we have so many things to teach you. We love helping you advance your papercrafting skills!
Bye for now,
