Creative Nugget: Since I didn't have any gold card stock, I decided to make some of my own. After gold embossing several sheets of card stock, Sparkling Star Dies and Double Stitched Star Dies were used to cut several gold and black stars. The stars were arranged on a panel cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die. A sentiment from the Birthday Stamp/Die Duo was stamped and embossed in black and birthday was cut three times and stacked. The All-Star sentiment is from the All-Star Jersey stamp set and was gold embossed to finish the card.
Creative Nugget: A Pierced Square Die and a Square Die were used to cut a window from the background panel for the shaker card. Nuvo Mousse was applied through the Arrows Stencil with a palette knife to this panel for the stepped up version. The little sentiments were stamped on pieces cut with the Log Cabin Die...these pieces are perfect for stamping small sentiments!
These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:
