Hi Stamping Friends!
Today, I have a pair of sparkly Star of Light cards that are not only stunning, but also quick to assemble! I've been playing with the beautiful Star of Light Bundle as I design for my final Countdown To Christmas class on December 4, and this is one of the cards that didn't make it into the class. Find out the cards that did when I unveil the class details in the next couple days.

Stunning & Sparkly Star of Light Cards
I love how quickly this gorgeous card comes together! And, it's so easy to create it in any color you choose! Of course, I had to try these projects in my favorite "Too Cool" regal colors, but it would look great in Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, even Black!
Background Basics—The Whisper White background measures 3-1/4" x 5-1/2". Once the background stamping was done, I adhered it to a 3-3/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Island Indigo card stock, then mounted it on a Whisper White card base. TIP: Try the Thick Whisper White Card Stock for a nice & sturdy card.
Swoosh & Sentiment—For best positioning of the Star of Light swoosh image, I started by stamping the sentiments first in Island Indigo. I stamped the first part of the phrase on the top, and finished the phrase on the bottom. Then, I could easily position the swoosh image, stamped in Island Indigo, in the center.
Sparkly Star—The focal point begins with an Island Indigo star die cut from the Starlight Thinlits for the foundation. Next, I die cut the intricate Silver Glimmer Paper star with the same dies with the help of the Precision Base Plate and the Die-Brush. The layers are adhered together with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen. I added a large Rhinestone Jewels to the center and popped up the star with Dimensionals.
Small Stars—I finished the card by stamping three of the small stars around the focal point in Bermuda Bay ink, then topping them with Rhinestone Jewels, as well.
Two Cool—My second card is exactly the same in a different color combination.
Here, everything is in Elegant Eggplant except the tiny stars in Wisteria Wonder. Such sparkly prettiness!
