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".

CAS Gilded Star

The Sparkles Christmas Challenge is asking for a CAS (clean and simple) card. 


I sprayed and splattered the card base with gold and copper sprays, and stamped the sentiment.

For the star, I used FlitterGlu and gilding flakes on the star stamp and stamped it on black cs - I'd done this technique on white cs before and wanted to see how the gilding flakes were on black. I then fussy cut it, scored it, folded it, and popped it up with foam tape.

  3. This star is a Star! So much sparkle and shine and a gorgeous mix of colors. I would love to hang that on the tree, or have it as the star on top of the tree.
