Christmas Decoration

Hello again,

I have had a very busy few weeks. Each year around this time I do several full day classes making Christmas cards. Today I have a Christmas decoration which I made for each of the ladies using the Stars At Night Bundle (#162007). This is my variation on the decoration shown in the catalogue.

I stamped 3 of the large stars from the Stars At Night stamp set (#162000) with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) on Basic White card (#159228). These were then cut with the co-ordinating die from the Stars At Night dies which are part of the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162006). I scored the stars down the middle, then glued them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The Azure Afternoon card (#161728) and the Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) were cut with the Deckled Circles dies (#162286). I glued the star to the circle. The Silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was used to hang the decoration.

Night Divine

Hi my friends,

Each year I like to make a framed project for Christmas, so this year I have used the Night Divine dies (#161996) with the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper (#161986) for this beautiful nativity scene.

I cut the stable, camels and the animals using (retired) Brushed Metallic Paper. This has 3 different colours of gold so used all 3. I also cut 2 of the animals with Silver Foil (#156457).

I used the Night Of Navy from the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750) for Mary, Jesus, Joseph & the wise men.

The 2 sentiments are from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). The dies to cut these are from the Stars At Night dies (#162006) and the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The star was also stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink. The star is from the Stars At Night stamp set (#162000) and cut with a Stars At Night Die.

All the die cut pieces were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Stars At Night

Hi again,

Here’s a gorgeous Christmas card using the Stars At Night Bundle (#162007). The bundle consists of the Stars At Night stamp set (#162000) and Stars At Night dies (#16006).

I stamped the Starry Night card (#159264) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The stars are cut with the Stars at Night dies using 2 of the colours from the Holographic Trio 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#161744). The larger star was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the others with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment - Wishing You the Best & Brightest - is from the Stars At Night stamp set. This was stamped with Starry Sky ink (#159212). I cut this with a Stars at Night die. This sentiment also includes the words “holiday season” so I cut this off as I wanted to say Christmas instead (not a fan of Happy Holidays). Christmas is from the More Wishes stamp set (#162324) and also stamped with Starry Sky ink. I fussy cut this and attached both sentiments with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).
