Random Stars Christmas card

Posted on November 16, 2023November 15, 2023 by Mo Rootes

I am loving the Stars at Night stamp set and dies at the moment and have made a pretty card in unusual colours.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the random stars card, you will need:

Pebbled Path card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Sweet Sorbet card – 4⅞” by 5⅜”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

I stamped the large star from the Stars At Night stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink, randomly all over the 4¾” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card.

The inked layer was then glued to the Sweet Sorbet panel and then onto the 5⅛” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card.

A length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Tear ‘n Tape. The whole panel was then mounted onto the Pebbled Path card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto scrap Basic White card in Pebbled Path ink. It was then die cut using the Countryside Corner Dies. I die cut the label twice to make it smaller.

Using a Sponge Dauber, I inked around the sentiment label before adding it to the card front on Mini Glue Dots.

A Glittered Organdy Ribbon bow and a trio of 2023 – 2025 In Color Dots completed the card.
