Stars for Christmas

Some more Christmas cards that I made this year.. I also used the cricut to cut out the swirl star in white (then embossed in silver) and in mellow moss. The technique I used was Mulberry Batik http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/mulberry_batik/ colors are: brocade blue, pale plum, mellow moss. This card has such a fun feel to it. This one is just simple! Sometimes those are the best. The shooting star on this is made by cutting the star out on the cricut "home de'cor" then I embossed it in gold. I used the shadow technique for the star wheel, first in gold, then in always artichoke. The background color I chose was Rich Razzleberry.

Stars

Paper: always artichoke, chocolate chips, dsp. Set: for father, classic star wheel I like how the stars cut perfectly out of the classic stars wheel. It so fun to play with. Here is another one that I did. Just simple using lovely lilac paper and eggplant ribbon.

Classic Star Wheel

So obviously this is when I got my new star punch and "Classic Stars" wheel. These are some really fun cards to make. Just goes to show stars are for than the 4th of July. I can't wait to make some wrapping paper to match the card.

Pink and Brown Celebration

I used the Mulberry Batik technique for this one. The colors I used are chocolate chip, lovely lilac, and pixie pink. The balloons are really easy. Use the star punch-cut one of the tips off, turn the tip so it goes inside the circle, adhere it, and tie a ribbon around it. Voila a balloon.
