Star of Light Sparkles

It is a little hard to see in this photo but I used the stardust swirl as a background for this birthday card. The circle image was cut and stamped from one of the tags in the July 2016 What a Gem Paper Pumpkin.
Sometimes Paper Pumpkin is 3-D projects as this Gem kit. The kit made little gem shaped boxes and had lots of tiny gem images and cute little expressions that wen along with those gems.
I stamped one of the tags in the kit and then punched with a circle punch, adhered with a dimensional and added a punched gold foil star.
Next week I'll showcase some more ways I used the kit to make cards as I decided I didn't need all the gem boxes.

It's Not Just for Christmas

Star of Light stamp set can also be sued to make generic cards. Here's a birthday card I made using the stars from that set.
And inside I continued with the slanted layout in my stamping.

Star of Wonder...

This card using the Star of Light bundle. The layered star was made using Red Glimmer paper for the solid star, then layered with filigree star cut out of gold foil sheet and lastly one of the small star framlets used to make the center with gold glimmer paper. I saw a similar card using red foil sheet, gold glimmer and then gold foil as the layering. So pretty either way you choose.
The little stars surrounding were stamped with gold Encore pad using the little triple star stamp from Star of Light bundle.

Star of Light with All Ye Faithful

One of the reasons I decided to order Star of Light stamp set is because I thought it would pair perfectly with last year's All Ye Faithful set. And here's one of the cards I made combining those two set.. The experssion from Star of Light pairs perfectly with the shepherd image from All Ye Faithful.

The second card I made using the two sets, both the card front and inside. I just love the expressions in Star of Light stamp set.

Star of Light Bundle

The last three cards from Judy's Open House use the Star of Light Bundle. This is the bundle I ordered with my bonus coupons on a preorder from the Holiday catalog. (One of the perks for being a demonstator.)
This first card using some of the silver Glitter Ribbon and a rectangular piece of the Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. We lightly sponged that paper with Marina Mist ink. The stamped star and expression are from the Star of Light stamp set. This set has great sentiments!

Next up was this beautiful layered star card. The Starlight Thinlits Dies give you lots of options for creating beautiful cards. I've got a few ideas of my own and will be sharing them the rest of this week. For this star we used some Silver Foil paper to cut the solid thinlit. At the same time we ran a piece of Pool Party cardstock through with the largest filigree star thinlit and a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock using the smallest filigree thinlit. Glue dots were used to attach the filigree stars and a dimensional to attach the foil star to the white cardstock. The expression was stamped using Dapper Denim ink (that's Dapper Denim cardstock for the base).
The little trio of stars were stamped using Pool Party ink. And the final touch a rhinestone in the center of the star. Gorgeous!

The third card we made that day using the Star of Light stamp set. This is so pretty in person, I wish you could see it with your human eyes and not the camera lens. First we stamped the expression just slightly to the left on the white cardstock using Night of Navy ink. Then we stamped the star in the upper left corner. The swirl of stardust was stamped last. It's a beautiful stamp; many were wishing it was sold as a single stamp.
Again some rhinestones were added; one in the center of the star and three scattered in the stardust swirl.
