Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star Christmas Card

Happy Saturday! Here’s a simple Christmas card made with the fun Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star bundle. I used the punch with the pretty Take A Bow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make dimensional stars for the card front. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Real Red panel with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star punch to punch out three stars from the Take A Bow 6″ x 6″ designer series papers. I scored each star 5 times from the point to the opposite corner and folded it along the score lines, mountain style at the points and valley style at the corners. This makes the center pop up! I applied two dimensionals, stacked on top of each other in the center back of each star.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star stamp set in two steps, so that it wrapped along two lines. I inked part of the stamp using Real Red ink, stamped it on Basic White, cleaned it off and inked and stamped the remainder underneath. I cut it out with the long label die from the Happy Hibiscus dies (I love the scored ends!) and adhered it to the card. I positioned and adhered the stars and finished with a baker’s twine bow and green iridescent dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star stamp set in Garden Green ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the star cluster from the Decorative Trees stamp set using Real Red ink in the upper corner and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat and adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love dimensional stars on Christmas cards and the chubby star from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star bundle is perfect for this technique. The festive Take A Bow DSP is also perfect and full of holiday cheer!
