So Many Stars (window card)

Welcome to our monthly Blog Hop for the Maui Incentive trip achievers! I missed last month but I am so excited to  play along again. I can't wait to see what the other participants will share with us...

If you are reading my blog in an email, please be sure to click over to my blog to see all of the samples and the hop list underneath...



The card that I am sharing today was our stamp club make-and-take project...

We first die-cut the star from the front of the card and then heat embossed it in silver.

To get this cool dimensional look of the star...A ruler and stylus was used to score each of the points of the star across to the "indentation" so they can be folded gently to give the star the dimensional look. The star was added back into the opening while the card was closed, with a double stack of dimensionals in the center and mini glue dots on each of the points

Of course you could do a little bit simpler verion of this card and omit the scoring and then don't use dimensionals to adhere the star so its flat and the card can open easily...

Here is the card open and you can see the window on the left...

Thoughtful Branches - Tree

You know me, once I have a new favorite, I can't put it down that easy. So I made another card today with the sneak peek set "Thoughtful Branches". But today my card features a tree with a little birdie!

And in case you can't see just how dimensional my tree is, here is another view:

To achieve this look, I simply cut 4 of the same shape and glued them all together. My silicone mat came very handy for that. I actually used our multipurpose glue and brushed it on the front of the 3 bottom layers so I wouldn't have glue showing on the front...
