Stargazing Birthday Card

 This card was created for...

The Paper Players Theme Challenge #660.




For this challenge, I used the Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle, Stylish Shapes Dies, Forever Forest Dies (for the stars) and Stargazing DSP along with Snowflake Magic Specialty Paper.

I haven't used this DSP much, and this was a great opportunity to use it!!

For my card base I used Blueberry Bushel cardstock followed by two layers of the Stargazing DSP.

Linen Thread was wrapped around the bottom portion of the card three times and tied in a knot.

I die cut two circles from coordinating DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies and layered them a little offset so the other DSP showed from behind.  These circles were adhered with dimensionals.

The planet was fussy cut from the DSP and also adhered with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto DSP using Blueberry Bushel ink and die cut using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies.  I adhered the sentiment mostly on the planet with a mini dimensional on the far right where it overhangs.

The cute little stars were die cut from the Forever Forest Dies using Snowflake Magic Specialty Paper (I used the silver/white paper).

DSP was added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is Basic White cardstock with a strip of DSP along the right and the sentiment stamped using Blueberry Bushel ink.



Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
