I started with a Whisper White card, measuring 3" x 3". I then cut a mat out of Real Red Cardstock that was 2 7/8" x 2 7/8", then the card front out of Whisper White that was 2 3/4" x 2 3/4".
I stamped the star pattern (from the Star of Light stamp set) in Real Red ink, stamped off once. I then stamped the sentiment (Teeny Tiny Sentiments) in Basic Black.
Next I cut out the star, done in Red Glimmer Paper, and I used the Starlight Thinlits Dies. I found I got the best result if I passed the die through the Big Shot 4 times. This star was not the easiest to get out of the die, so I employed my Big Shot Die Brush. This little gizmo saves heaps of time, and lets you get the star out with the least fuss.
I then placed an 'artfully arranged' piece of Gold Metallic Thread behind the star. I found this a little difficult to place, but I used the SNAIL adhesive to apply adhesive to the back of the star, then I used that to adhere the thread in place. Then I adhered the layers to the card base, and I was done.
I then put another card front on top of one of the new Mini Pizza Boxes - available in the current Holiday Catalogue. I'm going to put 4 cards (all the same) in the box, so people can see what's in the box before opening it. A lovely gift to give someone, or a lovely wee item to sell at the market.
They are just so cute - 3 x 3 envelopes in Whisper White. They fit nicely in the Mini Pizza Boxes.
