Terry Lynn Bright, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Whoa – it’s the weekend! What a crazy, hectic week for me… and I haven’t posted in a couple of days because of that ~ but here I am… with a card I hope you’ll like (I like it!) It uses Stitched Stars Dies and I’m a ‘star’ person. I also combined Black Glitter paper & Peaceful Place SDSP. I also splattered some Basic Gray & Smoky Slate using the Stampin’ Blends. They don’t show much, but in person you can tell.

,While it’s subdued with grays, it is also sparkly with the Black Glitter Paper & the Silver Foil just makes those big stars pop! I could add some rhinestones, but I don’t really think it needs it – although I know some folks like rhinestones on just about everything! :O) (You know who you are.)

Basic steps:

• Basic Gray card stock cut 4 1/4 x `11
• Basic White card stock cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
• Peaceful Place SDSP cut 12 x 5 3/8 (2)
• Peaceful Place SDSP for crosspiece 3/4 x 3 1/8
• Die cut stars from Silver Foil Sheets – and there are three
• Die cut the scrolly swirl of stars from Black Glitter paper, reserve the stars from the die cut.

More detail

• Splatter the Basic White panel using the Basic Gray and the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends
• Add the side strips of the Peaceful Place DSP to the right & left edges of the Basic White panel. Adhere the center ‘strip’ as a ‘foundation kind of piece.
• Add this panel to the card front.
• Adhere the Glitter scrolly swirl of stars at an angle – as shown, with dabs of liquid glue.
• Adhere the stars: the largest is just an outline and it’s adhered directly to the card.; the next is on several dimensionals; tghe smallest with the added detail has a small dimensional in the center.
• Add three Black Glitter stars that popped from the swirl when it was die cut ~ and the card front is done!

The inside…

• Die cut a strip of Silver Foil 5/8 x 5 3/8
• Die cut a strip from the Peaceful Prints SDSP 1/2 x 5 3/8. Adhere to the Silver Foil strip
• Add strip to the Basic White panel (4 1/8 x 5 3/8)
• Add more stars from the Black Glitter swirl. Add the single white star that was die cut when I was getting my color scheme figured out (Shimmer Paper)
• Add the Basic White panel to the inside of the card & DONE!

For the envelope I used more of the same Peaceful Prints SDSP to adhere to the envelope flap. I then stamped this delicate star in VersaMark ink and sprinkled White Embossing Powder over it and heat set. This star came from the Tidings of Christmas stamp set. Voila – what do you think? I like it… in fact I like it a lot :O)
