CAS Christmas December Challenge ~ Stars

This is going to be a short month for CAS Christmas Challenge.

It will end on Dec. 15th and the winners will be posted on Dec 18th! 

Trina is our HOST and she is wanting to see STARS on our Christmas card!

I had a NBUS (never before used stuff) and since it was a star, it was perfect for this challenge!

Sorry for all the shine and reflection back on your eyes!  This star was gold embossed on white paper and I added a layer of PTI Luxe Gold Cardstock.  Very simple, easy to mass produce.  This stamp was a Sizzix stamp and die, I didn't use the die on this card, but it also came with a smaller star die and I decided to make a second card with the smaller die.

I masked off a 1 1/2" section of the card and sponged on some DO inks, splattered with water, then I die cut the stars 5 times.  I added a piece of MFT glitter gold paper to the back and I gold embossed the Penny Black sentiment.  I added one more star that was cut from the sponged part of the paper,

Another simple and easy card to make.

I hope this gives you some inspiration to make a card and join in with STARS on your CAS Christmas card...the last one for the year 2018!

Heart Hugs, friends!

Merry Monday with Debbie and Stars!

Welcome to another Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge friends!

Debbie is our Merry Host this week and she is looking for stars on our Christmas Card!

My BFF gifted me this Gina K Wreath builder stamp & Kit...(I know, I have the BEST BFF, right? You all know her...Linda from Lin's Craft Corner and we have been BFF's for 6o years...I know we were all most cradle friends...LOL!) )and the first think I wanted to do was see if I could make a card and when I saw I needed stars for this challenge I set to work!  I of course practiced on scratch paper first and I learned a lot...1. Use the correct size paper in the template...ha ha...I know that should be a given, but I am not always focused! 2. Make sure each stamp as you turn the paper lands on the paper!  LOL again! 3.  If you are using something that has somewhat of a line to it, make sure it is straight and NOT kindywampus! IYKWIM!!)  So after several practice templates, I was ready to go for the GOLD!  I stamped three stars at a time with versamark, then embossed, then did three more, I did the larger 8 pointed stars first, then placed the other two stars in between and stamped them at the same time, again I turned and stamped three times then embossed.  And VOILA!  It worked friends!!

I then die cut a circle and stamped and embossed in gold my sentiment.  I attached it to a shiny gold paper and mounted it on a 4.25 x 4.25 square card.

 

So friends, I will look for your cards in the gallery!  But first, go check out the awesome star cards the DT made for you!

Heart Hugs, friends!
