S parkly, star filled congratulations card using a Sale-A-Bration 2017 Set from Stampin' Up!
Project Recipe
Cut card stock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Rose Red Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" from Whisper White Card Stock
- 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" from Rose Red Card Stock
- 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper
- 1-1/16" x 4-1/2" from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper
- 2-1/2" square from Whisper White Card Stock
Place the large Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper rectangle glitter side down on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Big Shot Platform. Place the star burst Star Blast Edgelit on top of the rectangle. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the tiny pieces, be sure to save the largest star that is popped out though. Placing the glimmer paper glitter side down helps to keep from dulling the cutting edges on your edgelit.
Use Paper Snips to trim off the line across the bottom of the star burst cut out.
Place the star burst cut out upside down on one side of a Silicone Craft Sheet. Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters and clamp the triangle edge of one quarter in a large binder clip. Squeeze a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on one corner of the Silicone Craft Sheet. Dab the sponge into the glue and then lightly onto the back of the star burst cut out. Flip the star burst cut out over and adhere it to the center of the Rose Red rectangle with the top of the center big star at the top of the rectangle.
Unlock the Confetti Stars Border Punch. Slide the strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper into the punch so it is centered from side to side and one long edge is pushed up against the guide edge of the punch. Punch. Slide the strip to the left and line up the punched stars with the silver stars printed on the punch. Punch again. Slide the strip to the right and line up the punched stars with the silver stars printed on the punch. Punch again.
Save a few of the tiny stars that were punched out. Adhere them around the star burst image using small dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Place the star punched strip upside down on one side of a Silicone Craft Sheet. Use the Stamping Sponge in the binder clip to dab some Multipurpose Liquid Glue lightly onto the back of the star punched strip. Flip the star punched strip over and adhere it to the bottom of the Rose Red rectangle.
Adhere the Rose Red/Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper rectangle to the Whisper White rectangle and then to the front of the Rose Red card.
Mount the "dream" sentiment from the Designer Tee Stamp Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Rose Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Whisper White square.
Pick out the Stars Framelit that cuts out a star that is 2" across. Place the stamped sentiment on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. Place the Stars Framelit on top so the sentiment is centered in the star. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the side of the brush tip of the Rose Red Marker to outline the edges of the star.
Adhere the star to the card front so it is centered on the star burst and about 1/4" from the bottom of the white rectangle using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Use Paper Snips to cut a small piece from the edge of a sheet of Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere the piece to the back of the large glimmer paper star you saved earlier. Remove the protective backing and adhere the star to the bottom right of the sentiment star.
You can keep the sponge in the binder clip and use it again and again for applying glue. Let any excess glue on the Silicone Craft Sheet dry and then just rub it off.
