Starry Christmas Card

My inspiration for this card came from Julie Ebersole.  I loved the star die because it has fold lines in it to add dimension.  

I used Amuse Studio Champagne glitter on the edges of the star.  It really looks antique-ish.  The paper pad was a freebie that I got at Archiver's - My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas. 



Supplies:  

Stamps:  No stamps used!
Cardstock:  Ivory textured card found in my stash, My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas 6x6 paper pad
Ink:  No Ink!
Other:  Savvy Folded Star Die, 2 way glue pen, Amuse Studio Champagne Glitter, Paper Piercer, Gold cording, Memory Box Joy Script Die, Quickie Glue Pen

Enjoying some more Lawn Fawn stamps.  I just love these little birds.  I found this washi tape that has that chalkboard look to it with a series of holiday phrases - and I'm lovin' it!    Here I put it over top of the red & white stripe paper and you can see the stripes thru the washi words.  Pretty fun!

Simple Silhouetting

This card started with a download from the Silhouette store of the window frame.  This is one of the four frames that are included in the download.  (Assorted Window Frames #50731)    The hill with trees is also a Silhouette purchase called Winter Icons #21807  I had to trim one of the trees to fit it into my window but what a pretty scene it creates.  The patterned paper is from an Echo Park 6x6 paper pad called 'tis the Season.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink called Signature Christmas.
