Scandinavian Stars
I had a little time stamping yesterday. So I decided to participate in the Featured Stamper challenge. I picked this card from Emily. I changed it up just a bit. I made it into a long card and added a few layers on the stars. I also added the sentiment.
The cardbase is a 6″ x 7″ piece of textured Baja Breeze cardstock folded in half.
The Chocolate chip layer measures 2 5/8″ x 4 7/8″. The top corners were punched with the ticket corner punch.
A 1/4″ smaller piece of Ski Slope Designer paper had it’s top corners punched with the ticket corner punch, was adhered to the Chocolate Chip layer, paper pierced and sanded with the sanding block. Both layers were adhered to the card base.
I stamped the round snowflake image from Scandinavian Season three times in Baja Breeze on Baja Breeze and three times in the same color on Whisper White. The white snowflakes were cut out, the Baja Breeze snowflakes were punched out with the 1″ circle punch.
Three stars were punched out of Riding Hood Red cardstock with the large Star punch, three flowers were punched with the Trio Flower punch out of the same cardstock. I punched three 1/4″ circles out of Chocolate Chip and adhered them to the little flowers. Then I adhered 1″ Baja circle to the Star, topped it first with the cut out snowflake, then with the flower. To finish them off, I added a silver brad in the center, added liquid glue (retired, boohoo) on the white snowflake and added Dazzling Diamond Glitter over it.
The stars were adhered to the Designer Paper layer with dimensionals. 5/8″ wide Chocolate Chip ribbon was tied around the card base. The sentiment is from the stamp set Fundamental Phrases. I stamped both words in Chocolate chip on top of each other and punched them out with the large oval punch. I added a 1/4″ Riding hood Red circle to the bottom right and topped it off with a brad. The sentiment was attached on the bottom right with dimensionals and snail adhesive.
Have a wonderful Monday! I won’t be doing all my Monday chores today. They are bumped back to Tuesday since the kids are home (Teacher Work day). Wohoo! That means sleeping in and hanging with my girl (and my boys if they want to). Hugs and smiles

Beate, I really like the stars and color combination. I really like how you step outside of the box with your color and pattern choices. I always have a hard time with that. Thanks for the inspiration!

OMG, how fantastic!! I love the balance between symmetry and asymmetry!!! The stars being aligned the same way, but not “standing” on two points, and how you ticket cornered the top of the matting but left the bottom squared — fabulous!!! TFS!
