Going Global is one of the new stamp sets in our 2016 Occasions catalog that went live yesterday. This set has lots of great images including this constellation of the Big Dipper. Of course there is only one Big Dipper, so I had a hard time stamping the full image twice in the same space. So I'm pretending that the portion you see in the lower left is part of some other constellation. Then I added rhinestones for extra glimmering stars here and there.
Measurements:
- Crumb Cake card stock – pre-cut & scored note card and 1- 1/2" x 3-1/4"
- Whisper White thick card stock – 1-1/4" x 3 and 4-3/4" x 3-1/4"
- Basic Black card stock – 4-3/4" x 3-1/4"
Tips:
- Punch out the white banner then stamp.
- Layer the banner pieces together and position onto the black (do not adhere yet).
- Stamp the constellations onto the black cardstock. If happy with the results, tape the banner piece in place. If not happy, flip your black cardstock over and try again. 🙂 It's always good to have a second chance, right?
- Trim the banner ends flush with the edge of the black cardstock layer, then adhere to the Crumb Cake card base.
- Add the white layer on the inside of the card. And finally attach the rhinestones.
The "you're a star" image came from one of my demonstrator-only stamp sets. (I had made a few of these cards to congratulate some demonstrators in my group this past month which is why I chose this image.) But another stamp set that would work well in it's place is Pictogram Punches which I've included in the product list below (since I can't list the one I used).
And instead of adding a rhinestone on an exclamation mark, you could put it in the middle of the actual star image.
Thanks for visiting today! I recently participated in a bunch of swaps, so be sure to visit again soon when I'll share photos of the cards I received.
