Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Boho Blue Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 3-3/4" x 5" from Boho Blue Cardstock
- 3" x 4" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 2-1/2" square from Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Stars At Night Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the various small groups of stars images from the Stars At Night Set on Blocks A, B, and C and stamp them randomly all over the inside of the vertical Boho Blue rectangle using Boho Blue Ink.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Lemon Lolly ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the bottom of the vertical, stamped Boho Blue rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the bottom. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Boho Blue rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" Lemon Lolly rectangle.
Adhere the matted, stamped Boho Blue rectangle to the front of the Boho Blue card.
Mount the "wishing you the best & brightest holiday season" sentiment from the Stars At Night Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2" x 3-1/2" Lemon Lolly rectangle.
Pick out the bumpy topped rectangle die from the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon along the bottom.
Mount the large, single star image from the Stars At Night Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vertical 3" x 4" Lemon Lolly rectangle.
Pick out the set of three large connected stars die from the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the stamped star rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the star is centered in the center star on the die. Run through the machine.
Pick out the solid, multi-rays starburst die from the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the Blueberry Bushel square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Adhere the large star cut out over the top of the blue starburst cut out so some of the rays of the starburst show around the edges of the star.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered star to the front of the card so it is centered over the sentiment cut out as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large Lemon Lolly gem from the sheet of Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the layered star cut out.
