Starlight Thinlits

November 28, 2018 2 Comments

I’ve not been feeling at all well for the past couple of days, but Christmas continues to get ever closer.  So I decided to keep things pretty simple for today’s project.  With the Star of Light Stamp Set and coordinating Starlight Thinlits I came up with this card.

Christmas card with Star of Wonder sentiment from the Star of Light Stamp Set and layered star created using the Starlight Thinlits from Stampin' Up!

SIMPLE CARD BASE

I began with a piece of Blueberry Bushel Card, cut and scored using my Stampin’ Trimmer.  Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create the card base.

Next I took a Fine-Tip Glue Pen and gently touched the tip onto the surface of the card without squeezing the bottle.  Then I randomly added more tiny drops of glue over the front of the card base.  With the glue in place I sprinkled the surface of the card with Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter.  Then I tapped off the excess and set the card aside to dry.

STAR OF LIGHT

From the Star of Light Stamp Set I started with the ‘Star of Wonder’ sentiment, stamped onto a strip of Shimmery White Card using Tuxedo Black ink.

Then I took a layer of Whisper White Card and over the top right and bottom left corners I stamped the large starry swoosh with Balmy Blue ink.  Next towards the top of the layer I added the second half of the sentiment using Tuxedo Black ink.

Then I stamped the same starry swoosh across the top right and bottom left corner on the front of a Whisper White Medium Envelope.

STARLIGHT THINLITS

Now it was time for my Big Shot to get to work with the Starlight Thinlits.

I used the large outline die to cut a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper. Then I used the largest of the fancy dies to cut out some Daffodil Delight Card.  Finally I used the smaller fancy die to cut out some Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

Using Mini Glue Dots I stacked the three die cuts on top of one another and finished off with the largest Rhinestone Basic Jewel.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

With all the pieces prepared all I had to do was use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the sentiment to the front of the card.  Then I added the layered star.

Finally I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to fix the Whisper White layer inside the card base and I was done.

Very quick and easy, but still has a wow factor.  All in all I’m quite pleased with this project.
