Today's card is a Christmas card. I really wanted to try out the new Tim Holtz On the Edge die stars. I made my card starting with a plain white card stock base. I added a sparkly light blue glitter paper to the front and then die cut the stars edge.
I cut a piece of blue suede paper (a rectangle) and attached to the inside of the card so that the blue would show on the front. I decided to trim around the light blue star edge so that I would have about a 1/8 inch border of dark blue.
I added some Idea-Ology star gems. ( I did try them out on all the stars but it didnt look good so I opted to use these embellishments on only some of the die cut border stars.)
I had some embellishments from K&Co from last year so I used one of them (the title "believe" and the gold stars).
You can see behind the word that there is a punched design. I used a Martha Stewart punch and punched out a two inch strip (both sides) as a background. I think that I probably shouldnt have done that. I think the word would have been better alone. Unfortunately I couldnt take it off as I had already glued it down. Oh well. SAMPLE! :-)
This is the inside of my card. I used some Dazzles Red Jewel Border to disguise the edge of the blue suede paper.
