IM103 – So Many Stars

By | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is a beautiful garland of gold and red ornaments!

I decided to use the colors for inspiration and the hanging star for my card.  The Gold Glitter Enamel Dots made perfect “beads”.

 

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • On top, the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake was embossed with the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder.
    • The stars were cut with the Stitched Stars Dies…the largest from Soft Suede cardstock, the medium one from Gold Foil Paper and the center star from Gold Glimmer Paper.  They were adhered together and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • A big red bow was made from the Real Red 1″ Ruched Ribbon and added to the top of the star with Mini Glue Dots.
    • The beaded string was made from a row of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.
    • Peace from So Many Stars was stamped with Delicata Golden Glitz Ink (now out of stock) and hand-cut, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I was SO happy with how this turned out and thought it captured the inspiration photo!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

CCMC591 – So Many Stars

It’s Thursday and you know what that means!  Time for a Create with Connie and Mary challenge!  It’s a popular color combination this year…featured in the Brightly Gleaming Designer Paper (sorry, it is sold out for the season!)  But, you see these colors all over in holiday decorating!

I decided to use the So Many Stars Bundle on my card…I love those stitched stars in so many shapes and sizes!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Very Vanilla, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 2 x 5-1/2 strip of Brightly Gleaming star print DSP was added to the right side.
  • A 3/4 x 5 piece of striped Brightly Gleaming DSP was added under a 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.
  • The O Holy Night greeting in So Many Stars stamp set was stamped at the top with Night of Navy Ink.
  • The large star was stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink on scrap Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out with the coordinating Stitched Star.
  • A smaller filigree star was cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock and a tiny star from Copper Foil.
  • The medium sold Stitched Star was cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock.  All were assembled and added to the Very Vanilla panel, which was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Copper Star Element was added to the center of the Pretty Peacock star and a trio of Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestones were added in the background!

I love the copper accents in this Designer Paper and Star Elements!  OK…check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!  Thanks for stopping by!
