A site for my handmade cards, accompanied by my photos and written meanderings which are occasionally witty, often tongue-in-cheek, and rarely profound. Beginning in June 2013, you'll also see lots of NBUS, which is an acronym I coined for Never-Before-Used-Schtuff.

Seeing Stars!

Hello Stamplings!

I'm out of my bubble! Yay! But don't worry, I'm not seeing STARS because I bumped my head on the way out!πŸ™†I'm seeing stars because this month the prompt for the Twofer Card Challenge is STARS!
The star stamp my cards have in common is an unmarked stamp that I've had for ages.

Onefer
Here you can see my OLC detective card design, the two masks I made so I could blend the colors, and the star stamp I used. Seeing it now on my monitor, I'm karacking up that the detective mask is inspecting the star stamp through his magnifying glass. 

I stamped the Katzelkraft detective and the sediment (Paw-some by Taylored Expressions) and applied the masks over them. I used Tim's inks to blend the background and then I gold-embossed the stars across the sky. I decided not to color the detective because he would just compete with the background and possibly be invisible.πŸ”ŽThen again, for a detective, being invisible would be a very good thing, so maybe I made the wrong call there. 

Hammy came through after wards to make the water spots using a syringe which he uses like a pogo stick. He also put a layer of gloss on top of the frosting on the cupcake I added. (The little dog is part of the stamp, but the cupcake is snot.)

This simple Christmas design packs alotsa schparkle! I stamped and gold-embossed the same star stamp I used in my Onefer onto pretty linen paper. From that I die-cut the ornaments from Nestabilities. The sediment (from Stamping All Day) was also gold-embossed. The front panel was attached to a shimmery gold paper mat. Wallah wallah ding dong done.

This is our last Twofer Card Challenge of 2020 and I look forward to seeing your festive designs using ⭐★🌟STARS🌟★⭐in the gallery this month!
Pop over to the Twofer Card Challenge where you'll find the Team has made beautiful inspiration star cards for you! We are also fortunate to have the lovely and talented stars Pia and Liz as our Guest Designers this month! 

AND ... πŸ“£

I. This month we have added the same TWIST we did in November last year, which is that you can make two holiday card designs instead of two different occasion card designs!! All the other rules apply.

II. Wait. There's more! Because this is the last challenge of 2020, I want to end it on a positive and joyful note, so there are a few PRIZE$ on offer!! Have fun!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy, but please be careful. Covid didn't just go away on November 3rd as a part of some giant conspiracy. It's deadly serious and you need to be a star and take care of yourself and those around you. Mwah!

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower! Please let me know you came by so I can be sure and return the flavor!

Life is too short!
