Star Wreath

Posted on December 6, 2024 10:35 PM by Julie Comment

I have a very shimmery, all die cut card today. All of the card stock is metallic so it really catches the light. This could be a Thank You card for a lovely Christmas gift, or for a lovely Christmas or New Year’s Party. Change the greeting and it’s a Christams or New Year’s card. The colors would also work for Hanukkah.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC992) and we are visiting IMAGELLA & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS picture.

The large background die was cut twice. Once out of a dark blue metallic & again out of a lighter blue metallic then pieced together inside the frame. I liked the 2 colors together & thought it added more interest by alternating the colors. The wreath was cut out of a dk silver & a third, silvery blue metallic. The stars were all die cut out of a lighter silver metallic & the moon was done in a darker silver metallic. I did the same with the Thanks greeting & shadow. I added some sprigs out of the blues & silvers to tuck under the largest star.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Welcome to November! And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club November Christmas Challenge! We have a year of new Christmas Challenges! You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself. Hint..I’m really loving the new theme for this year. I’m a little bit early for the Christmas Challenge because I’m combining it w/ the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS769) & a big congrats to Jocelyn! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the slimline Christmas design but used different images, dies & colors. I also used a stencil instead of designer paper.

For my card, I die cut the the white panels & used a new stencil on the smaller layer, with turquoise, lavender & lt blue inks. A narrow turquoise panel was added behind it & the gnome & gift box were colored & die cut w/ their matching dies. A craft knife was used to cut a slit at the top of the box so I could insert the gnome inside & I added fun foam behind to pop it up. The greeting was split above & below & I added 3 colored to match (they were clear & I used some of the same Copics to color them) gems on the top right & some iridescent stars sprinkled around the stenciling.

Here are the Copics I used:

Rock the Pink

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC803), we’re headed to Shop Sweet Lulu. They had quite a few things that caught my eye, but I kept coming back to THIS card. The hot pink hair & star shaped sunglasses really captured my attention.

For my card, I stamped, colored & die cut the Nala image, I die cut some stars for her sunglasses using gold & white glitter card. I had to practice that hot pink hair a couple of times on scrap to get the look I wanted. I popped up just a bit on a rounded corner rectangle & added a turquoise mat. It took me a while to figure out what to do about a bg to tie all the colors together. Then I found a piece I made a while back by spraying the inside of an embossing folder then running it thru the machine. It had the colors & kind of retro rock feel to it. After I put it all together, I added some stickles to the raised white lines on the bg. The greeting is part stamped, part die cut.

Here are the Copics I used:
