Star For A Day


Another quick card to share today!  In order to get the small star centered in the large star it is easier if you punch the small star first and then center the large star punch over the punched out smaller star.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Vogue Verses, Happy Moments
Paper:  Whisper White, Real Red, Brilliant Blue, Brushed Silver, DSP (unknown)
Ink:  Real Red, Black
Accessories:  Small Star Punch, Large Star Punch, Spiral Punch, Tab Punch, Staple, Dimensionals

Rock Star


I was very happy with the end result of this card.  Not much stamping but lots of impact.  I especially like the glossy stripes and skulls.  To achieve the same glossy effect for the star, I stamped the image in versa mark on whisper white card stock and embossed with black embossing powder.  The star was then punched out using the large star punch and adhered with dimensionals to a star in kiwi kiss card stock.  The most time consuming part of this card was the paper piercing.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  A Little Somethin'
Paper:  Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Rockabilly DSP
Ink:  Versa Mark
Accessories:  Black Embossing Powder, Large Star Punch, Black Bakers Twine, Paper Piercing Tool, Mat Pack, Pearls, Dimensionals

Single Cupcake


I'm trying to get ahead of the game for birthday cards this year.  I make a birthday card for each of my co-workers and there are about 25 people in my department and during the month of February there are 5 birthdays.  My original idea for this card was to have 3 cupcakes across the front but it just seemed to crowded, so I put just the one in the center as a focal point and the rest of the card kind of fell into place.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Happiest Birthday Wishes, Darling Dots
Paper:  Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Only Orange, KI Memories DSP
Ink:  Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Old Olive, Black
Accessories:  Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Framelits Labels Collection Dies, Pretty in Pink Button, Bakers Twine, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals
