This month's challenge was to create a gift or ornament! I chose a set of star stamps only to find out an even cooler thing about them, they fit perfectly with McGill's Super Giant Star Punch! I can just picture a Christmas tree covered with these!
Supplies:
*Stars stamp set Serendipity Stamps (452QCL)
*McGill Super Giant Star Punch (also available at Serendipity)
*Navy Blue Cardstock
*Versa Mark Ink
*Silver embossing powder
*Embossing heat tool
*Heavy duty adhesive
*Silver wire
*Silver earring stems (a thick wire with a flat almost pin head bottom)
*Silver toned beads
*Silver ribbon
*Wire pliers and cutters
Directions:
Stamp 7 stars on the blue cardstock with the versamark ink. Cover with embossing powder and emboss with heat tool.
Punch out stars with punch (designed to match) and fold each star in half. Coat backs with adhesive.
Put stars together by securing each half to another star and then putting the open ends together.
Thread several beads onto earring stem, and then put the end of the stem up through the stars middle. Use the pliers to make a loop at the top of the star.
Cut a length of wire to use as a hanger and attach it to the loop at the top of the star.
Cut a length of ribbon and use it to tie a bow at the top of the star where the wire attaches to the loop.
It would be easy to use more or fewer stars to change up the look, not to mention the endless possibilities with other colors of paper, embossing powders, and beads! If you create on of these little darlings I'd love to see it, post a link here and one lucky person will win a prize from me!
