The die cut stars were then laid out onto the small panel of Basic White card to work out the positioning. Once I had them arranged, I lifted them one at a time and glued them in place using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and used my Heat Tool to set it. I flagged the ends before adding it to the card front on Mini Glue Dots as I did not want to add anymore height to the card.

The Christmas Trimmings Dies used to make a star themed Christmas card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Christmas Trimmings for the Ink. Stamp, Share. Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas in July’.  We have so many lovely Christmas goodies coming in the new July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue that we can sometimes overlook the Christmas sets in the Annual Catalogue. I have chosen to use one of these sets, Christmas Trimmings,  to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

T recreate the Christmas Trimmings card, you will need:

So Saffron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Early Espresso card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2 – one for the inside
Early Espresso card – 3¼” by ⅝”
Gold Metallic Speciality Paper

Using the’ basket weave’ image from the Natural Textures stamp set I stamped in 2nd generation So Saffron ink to stamp all over one of the Very Vanilla panels. This gives both colour and texture to the background. The stamped panel was then added to the Early Espresso panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the So Saffron card base with the same glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set,  in Versamark ink onto the strip of Early Espresso card, covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with Scissors and added the piece to the card front on Dimensionals. To complete the card, I added a scattering of Gold Metallic Pearls.

A pretty congraulations card made using the So Many Stars stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Shaker Stars for a congratulations card

Today I am sharing a card made using the So Many Stars bundle for my lovely friend and downline Jo Law who has promoted to Silver last week – whoop whoop.

To recreate the So Many Stars card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Old Olive – 5½” by 3¾”
Silver Foil – 5” by 5”
Window Sheet 3⅝” by 4”
Whisper White ½” strip

I began by die cutting the second largest star from the old Olive panel using the Stitched Stars dies. I adhered the Window Sheet to the back of the Old Olive panel to cover the star shaped hole. Using the same stitched star die and the next size down I die cut the star shaped frame from Silver Foil and inlaid it onto the Window Sheet covered aperture using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I used the dimensional strips on the back of the die cut panel to edge the star shape and also on the corners of the panel.  I rubbed the embossing buddy around the inside of the star on the back of the panel to remove any static.

I decorated the inside of the card and the envelope using a stamp from the So Many Stars stamp set and Old Olive ink.

Such a simple but pretty card.I hope Jo likes it.
