  • It’s All About Stars! See What You Can Make with Them

    So the weekly deals this week has lots of star goodness and I don’t know about you, but I find stars are such a versatile shape that they are great for any type of card or project I need.  So I thought I’d share some ideas with you of some of my favorite projects using the Star Framelits and Star Embossing folder that are 25% off through Monday!

  • Patriotic card, Thank you card, or just a fun Star framelit card? You decide!

    Tell me I’m not the only person who stamps images or cuts paper thinking it will be PERFECT for my project I’m working on, only to put it down on my paper and realize that it doesn’t fit AT ALL!  Then when I realize they don’t work for my project, I have a hard time just throwing them in the recycle bin because I know they are perfectly good elements for another card or project.  So, I collect them in a small box to use for later.

    Well, I periodically decide it is time to just start creating using my scraps because otherwise they take over my craft table, that box, and everywhere else in my craft room!  So, today I thought I’d share a card I created using only scraps from my pile.  I think the only thing I cut fresh was the Baked Brown Sugar twine!

    I think the stars were originally from an idea I had for a patriotic card.  I used the Be the Star stamp set and the Star Framelits (which are on the weekly deals this week – btw!)  So I just layered them using some dimensionals and then added some of the thick baker’s twine in Baked Brown Sugar and my main element was ready to go!

    Then I just used a scrap piece of patterned paper from the Trim the Tree designer paper stack (still on the Clearance Rack for a great deal!) and a stamped sentiment from the Sale-a-Bration set Simply Wonderful. 

    So you never know when you will be able to mix elements for many times of the year to get a great anytime card!

  • NEW Class by Mail! Endless Wishes Card Gift Set & Desk Organizer

    I’m so excited to share a new class that I just finished the samples for – the Endless Wishes card gift set!  This was a compilation of many of my favorite new (and returning!) holiday goodies that gave me lots of fun time playing and experimenting and being really stinkin’ glad I got them!  You know… Endless Wishes stamp set, Trim the Tree paper, Stars embossing folder, Stars framelits, etc.  Sigh… so much to love!

    Here is one of the cards where I really got to play a lot with new stuff – what do you think?  Are you loving stars yet?

    The best part of this was that I got to put this class together with one of my downline – Tanya Cabral and so we’ve worked together to design some really fun cards to share at our class in early November (Nov 3rd for those of you in the area that would like to attend. Smile)

    Tips for creating this card:

    • The Endless Wishes stamp set is a returning favorite and is fabulous because you have the script font and the small type font.  Mix and match – INCLUDING COLORS – for really unique and trendy looks to your cards.
    • Tie your card together with similar elements – in this case the Stars embossing folder and the Star framelits!  The subtle tie-in helps keep your card cohesive without being busy.
    • Sponge the edges of your die cut elements to help them stand out from the background.  Here I sponged the star with Early Espresso ink and a sponge dauber.

    Ok, and so this isn’t a tip, but don’t you just love that plaid?  It makes it look like the card has a cozy scarf, don’t you think?

    And that is just one of SIX fabulous cards and yes, you see that cozy plaid in a desk organizer that you can actually use year round!  See, I think ahead. Winking smile
