Playing with my kit

The Simon Says Stamp August kit had a lot of stars, including a star die.  The die doesn't cut out the star outline, merely some stripes inside a star shape.  I cut one of the papers included in the kit to 5.25 X 4 inches, and die cut the star from it.  I glued a square of red to the card front behind where the cut would be, then added the die cut front with foam tape.  I used a white scrap of card stock to stamp you're a star in black, then cut it in a banner shape.  I stamped a few stars in the Festive Berries Distress ink included, matted it in red, and attached to card front. 

Stretch Your Stamps 2, Day 11

Today was a play day, and the last day of lessons.  Sad it's over, but happy about how much I've learned!

I decided to use Laura's video as my starting off place, and made a background by stamping one stamp over and over.  My sentiment was made by taping off everything from a sentiment of That's what you are except for the that's.  I added the word Awesome to finish the sentiment.








My card base was white, and then I added a piece of blue cardstock to the front just a bit smaller.  I cut the piece with the sentiment on it a bit smaller, then cut the background and sentiment apart. I  popped them up them up on the card front with a small gap between them.  I added a few sequins and enamel dots for bling.
