Star Celebration

Inspiration

Here's a card for a coworker who has an April Fool's Day birthday - It is VERY easy! The only stamping is the sentiment - the rest is just choosing coordinating papers, then cut-punch-paste!

Instructions

Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment in brown ink on the small vanilla strip.

Clip the ends of the small Kraft strip to make a flag, and mount the vanilla on the Kraft.

Star

Cut and emboss the star from the tan paper, using the largest star Nestabilities die.

Punch a 1 3/4" circle from the dark striped paper, and a 1 3/8" circle from the tan paper.

Punch a 1" circle from the copper sheeting.

Now mount the graduated circle in order, from largest to smallest, in the middle of the star.

Assembly

The assembly goes quickly at this point:

• Mount the dark patterned paper on the base
• Mount the circled patterned paper centered over the dark paper
• Mount the star stack on the upper portion of the card
• Mount the sentiment stack on the lower left area of the card

Final Notes

Inside I put another vanilla panel, measuring 4 1/8" x 5 3/8", with a greeting stamped in the same brown ink.

It makes a very nice, masculine card, don't you think?
