Today, I am sharing the cards I designed for my February Trusty Tools classes. Each of the ladies coming to classes were given a 6” by 6” pack of the Trusty Toolbox dsp to use when making the projects.

Colours used in the projects are:

Hanging Ornament

Gold Hoop – mine was about 4”
2 Circles of card stock or dsp which fit inside the gold hoop – I used the Shining Brightly dsp

We slipped one die cut circle – I used the Stylish Circle dies to cut these from the Shining Brightly stamp set – behind the hoop and under the ribbon. The second circle was glued on top, sandwiching the ribbon in the middle.

We used the Stamparatus – any stamp positioner would work – to stamp 3 large stars which I had die cut using the Stars at Night Dies.

The stamped stars were then folded in half from top to bottom. We used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the stars down the centre line to make the folding easier.

The 3 stars were then glued together, one in the middle and one half of the other 2 glued on either side of the middle star. The back of the multiple star piece was then glued to the middle of the dsp inside the hoop.

Star at Night Tags

3 Starry Sky tags – cut using the Merriest Trees Dies
