Starry Twofer

Sneaking in under the wire before this month's Twofer Challenge closes!

Here's my Twofer, one for a birthday and one for Christmas:

First up is the one on the left as it's the one I did first:

I took a piece of Distress Oxide background out of my UFO box, and used my small star background die to cut the stars out of it (the die is that exact size so great for CAS cards).  I layered it over a piece of glittery gold cs.

I stamped and heat embossed a gold sentiment on white cs and then die cut part of a larger winter village die out of it.  Layered that over the starry sky and popped it up on fun foam.

And here's card number two:

For this one, I used the stars that got cut out of the Distress Oxide piece on the first card.

I stamped and heat embossed an old star stamp and a birthday sentiment, and then trimmed it with a wonky stitched die.  I glued the leftover stars around it, and popped it up on fun foam on a coloured card base.

Love not having all those pretty blue stars go to waste!!
