So Many Stitched Stars in my Eyes #2

Ok... so the So Many Stars stamps and Stitched Stars dies are officially my favourite Bundle in the Autumn Winter Catalogue... and being honest with you... I wasn't even going to buy them!!!

But as they are so great for all year round use...  and can be used for virtually every occasion... it did seem rather daft not to get them!!!

And I am SO glad I did... This is like a bumper set of dies and stamps... there are so many... and there is so much that you can do with them!!

So the world is your oyster as they say... (or should that read galaxy or cosmos or something!)

So I have a few starry shares over the next few weeks for you... as once I started I couldn't stop!

Colour combination a combination of everyone's favourite colour in these parts (Pretty Peacock) and colours that weren't already out for classes... as I had to squeeze all my star stamps in just one stamping station! So Gray Granite, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party came to the rescue...

Though I hope to squeeze in some time for some more with other colour combinations now that this weeks classes are out of the way!!

But just keeping it simple for now... this card being a CASE of a CASE of a CASE of a card that I made over 15 years ago (probably with Caroline or Jayne or Debbie) when I first started card making! And one that has never left my mind!! In fact I think the first variant of this was my first hand-made christmas card that I sent out to everyone all those years ago...

But it had to be done... as that stitched aperture for the star is just ... gorgeous!

The "glitter bauble" being just a punched silver glimmer 1" circle popped behind the aperture... Simples!

And if you want more ideas along these lines... just Google (or search on Pinterest) "christmas star card" ... and you will see lots more....

Merry Monday... yes seriously!

So we demonstrators can now pre-order new Christmas, Autumn & Halloween goodies from the brand NEW Autumn Winter Catalogue... so I thought it high time this year to start creating with my new goodies and sharing some of those makes earlier rather than later...

But I also don't want to be posting loads of Christmas projects throughout August.. so I reckon a day ( or maybe two!) a week is enough!

But for this first Merry Monday post.. my box is on its way... so no new goodies to use...

So... by popular request of some of my new crafters this year... I thought I would share a round up of some creations using the carryover favourite stamps and dies from last year, these are for you Sarah, Isabel and Catherine... And there are even a couple of new not previously shared cards here too!

Be warned ... there are a lot of them... we definitely had a lot of fun and creativity with this set...
