Why Wish Upon A Star...

 

Hello everyone.  Design Team Michael here with two new card ideas using the brand new "Why Wish" rubber stamp that is part of the July 2023 Release. 

I wanted to make some cards that did not focus on any specific religion since every religion or belief "prays to the one that created it" -  the stars - so I went with scrapbook paper with stars and an embossing folder with stars.

For my first card, below:

• I made an A2 card base using white cardstock. 
• Then I adhered a piece of scrapbook paper in my stash that has gold stars on a dark blue background.  I love it!  
• I stamped "Why Wish" on a piece of white cardstock and die-cut it using a stitched rectangle die.  
• I found an old corner punch from Martha in a drawer and used that on two of the corners, then mounted it on a piece of gold mirror cardstock, and then to the card front.  

For my 2nd car, below:

• I made an A2 card base using white cardstock to which I adhered a piece of gold mirror cardstock.  
• I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a stitched rectangle die, then embossed it with an embossing folder covered in stars (a Brasilian brand), and then adhered this to the card front.
• Next, I stamped Why Wish on a piece of white cardstock, layered it on a piece of gold mirror cardstock, and then to the card front on an angle. 
• Lastly, I added some gold glittered enamel dots and added Gold Stickles to the star.

My Middle Finger...

Ever had one of those days? I know I have. I love the facial expression in the woman stamp - I colored the image so that she looks slightly irritated...

I love making collages out of multiple stamps! Here I used several stamps from the Adventure Awaits stamp set and the Travel Love background. For the front panel sentiment, I just deconstructed the A Passport stamp and added it to the Adventure Awaits stamp. When I look at this, all I can see are the colorful stamps from the places I have visited as they are in my passport! Adventure Awaits!

Why Wish?

 Hello Crafters - 

"Why Wish Upon A Star When You Can Pray To The One Who Created It".....I absolutely adore this sentiment so I wanted it to be the focal point of this card. I paired Why Wish and Star Swoop stamps from the July release. 

I began with ink blending using Worn Lipstick, Candied Apple and Tattered Rose Distress Oxides. Once I perfected the look I envisioned I stamped the sentiment in the center of the background using black ink. I brought in the Star Swoop stamp and heat embossed in white at the top and bottom of the sentiment. 

I used a die to cut out the mat size I wanted and centered it on top of a piece of white card stock followed by black card stock. I added a few bitty sparkles and star embellishments to finish out the card. Super cute!
