A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

A String of Stars

The Jingle Belles Challenge wants Stars and / or Stripes.  I love stars on Christmas cards so got out a long neglected older stamp.



I stamped and heat embossed the string of stars, trimmed the panel, bordered it with gold glitter cs, popped it up on fun foam, added a die cut sentiment out of the same gold glitter cs, and added tiny gold star stickers to the centres of each star.









Supplies:
Stamps - unknown old stamp
Ink - ColorBox Gold
Paper - Gina K Pure Ivory cs, gold glitter cs
Size - A2
Accessories - tiny star stick-ons, Papermania Tinsel Gold embossing powder, Tattered Lace sentiment die, fun foam
