Christmas in July - Star of Wonder, Star of Light...


 I've had this stamp set for just about an entire year and though I really love it, I don't play with it much.
 I love this design.  It's fairly simple and easy to put together once you die cut and punch out the top silver glimmer paper (that takes a bit of time).  As you know, I never (rarely) make only one card at a time of any one design.  I made 5 of these.  Yes, the picking took me some time but now I have 5 really stunning cards!
 I took this picture (above) so you could see how sparkly that silver glimmer paper is!  Another thing I've found that I really love is the new small dimensionals!  I cut them in half and was able to use them to pop the silver glimmer star off the top of the darker blue star.  LOVE it!
I took this picture so you could see the contrast in the sentiment and the stars stamp.  They are both stamped with Night of Navy, but I stamped the stars off once to give them a lighter look.

Here I want you to see the inside of the card.  I added the silver foil piece opposite of the sentiment on the inside.  LOVE the look of silver and blue together.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's card!

It's now June 21st, and there are only 10 days left in July.  Truthfully, I'll be really sad when this project is over, and hoping you're not sick to death of looking at Christmas cards!  Hoping Hoping Hoping...

I haven't kept track until now exactly how many Christmas cards I've made, so this last 10 days, I'll post a count of how many I've got:

Christmas cards so far July, 2017:  95!
Wow.  I've surprised myself.  95 Christmas cards for the month of July.  So far...

Christmas in July - Star of Light



I just had to do it!  This was a card from last year's Stamp-A-Stack with my club.  I LOVE the Star of Light stamp set!  LOVE IT!  
You can actually see the Wink of Stella on the card!  That doesn't happen too often.

Why do I love this stamp set so much?  It has a few of the verses we memorized as some of the older children for our Christmas event at church.  We waited so long to be old enough to stand in front of the congregation and have our own introductory speech instead of standing as a group to say each little part in line.  Some of my favorite Christmas verses are those individual parts the 'older' kids always got to say in church on Christmas Eve.

Plus, the images and die cuts that coordinate with this set are amazing!  AMAZING!

After I took this picture, I added rhinestones to the middle of the large star, and smaller rhinestones to the small stars.  It makes it look so special!  Sparkle always does the trick!

Finishing up 2016 Christmas Cards

In the previous post I mentioned how I spent a day working on simple Christmas Cards because I needed to make more than I had. (I didn't make many during the past year).

The card below looks MUCH more complicated than it is.  I LOVE the colors even though they're not traditional at all.  Bermuda Bay (My FAVORITE), and Soft Sky.  What a combination for a Christmas Card!  Add some rhinestones, and you've got a simple, yet stunning card!

 The stamp set for this card was carried over from 2015.  It definitely is a favorite!  It also comes with a set of ornament dies as well. 
 Jars!  Oh, those Jars!  I LOVE them!  In the IBC the initial set is bundled with the dies.  Stampin' Up! added two sets in the Holiday catalog - Jar of Haunts (CUTE!) and Jar of Cheer where this image comes from.  I broke out the watercolor pencils (coming soon!) for this card as well. 
 On this card, only two of the images come from Stampin' Up!  The sentiment, and the stars banner.  I also used the watercolor pencils on the Santa image.  (Stay tuned!)

Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack Card 2 of 6

This has to be one of my favorites!  Ok, yes... so I say that about most Christmas cards, but the benefit of this one is the darker color is Bermuda Bay!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bermuda Bay!  It's a beautiful color I've used for quite awhile, and it's one of the main colors I go to in my crafting.

I CASEd this beautiful card and added some touches of my own to it for Christmas.  The stamp set comes with really beautiful verses that have always been some of my favorites.
This card showcases 2 colors:  Bermuda Bay, and Pool Party.
Letting you in on a secret...  I made a mistake on this card!  The inside piece was supposed to be the front!  Oops!  It still worked out great, so I didn't mess with it.

I hope you make this card!  It's stunning in person. Stunning!

Below in the product listing I've included the bundle.  This project does not use the die cuts, but I always purchase the bundles since Stampin' Up! offers 10% discount in the first showing.  Products are not bundled when continued in the next catalog.
