Base Card in Night of Navy
Cut 1 - 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Layers for Card:
Cut 1 - 4" x 5 1/4" - Card Front
Cut 1 - 3" x 4" in Whisper White - Right Inside Layer
Embossing on Front layer:
- Take the embossing buddy and go over the whisper white layer that goes on the card front.
- Take the swirl stamp and ink with versa mark. Be careful not to get versa mark on the edges of stamp and stamp the card like in the example.
- In the bottom right corner of the card, take the word stamp, "Star of Wonder, Star of Night..." and ink it with versa mark as well and stamp card.
- Take the silver embossing powder and sprinkle over the swirl and sentiment. Flick off any excess embossing powder.
- Use the heat tool to set the embossing powder. It will turn shiny once it is set.
Die Cut Whisper White layer:
- Take the large open star die cut and the two small sizes open star die cuts and place on the whisper white layer as in the photo.
- Run the paper and die cuts through the big shot machine. You will have to take the smallest star and place it on the layer and run it back through to get your second small star.
- Remove the die cuts from the paper. Save the cutouts they will be used inside the card as in the example.
- Take the smallest of the frilly stars and cut out the star on the silver foil paper. Use your paper-piercing tool to help remove it from the die cut.
- Using your snail glue, adhere the whisper white layer to the Night of Navy card-base and then using a mini dimensional, place it on the center back of the foil star and adhere it to the center of the large Night of Navy Star.
- Add a pearl to the center of the foil star and you may also add a clear rhinestone to the center of each of the smaller Night of Navy stars on the card front if you wish.
Left Inside of Card:
- On the left hand side of the inside of the card take your whisper white star that was left over from the die cut. Adhere it to the center of the card page with either snail glue or a dimensional. You may also put a glue dot on the back of the white cut out stars and place then on the pages a well.
- Embellish the small white star with a rhinestone. There is no need to embellish the large white star as it should have part of the swirl embossed on it.
Right Inside of Card:
- Using the 3" x 4" whisper white layer, take the embossing buddy and go over the entire white layer and then use the word stamp; "Guide us to thy Perfect Light" and ink it with versa mark and stamp at the top in the middle of the layer. Carefully under that sentiment, Ink the word stamp "Merry Christmas" with versa Mark and stamp it beneath the other sentiment on the layer.
- Use the star in the example and ink it with versa mark and put it in the top left corner and the bottom right corner of the layer.
- Now take the silver embossing powder and sprinkle over the layer. Make sure both sentiments and stars are completely covered with embossing powder. Flick off the excess and then use the heat tool to set.
- Using snail glue, adhere the layer centering it on the page.
Your card is now complete. Congratulations!
