Star of Light Double Z-Fold

I love cards with different folds.  I have done the double z-fold before but when I saw BJ Peters card I knew that I had to try this one too.  The Star of Light stamp set and coordinating Starlight Thinlits are perfect for this card.

This card has lots of bling but is so elegant looking.  Check out the inside too.

Star of Light

Have you played with the Star of Light stamp set yet?  I LOVE this stamp set.  Last night was my Stamp of the Month Class — everyone received the Star of Light Bundle which includes the Star of Light stamp set and the coordinating Thinlits — Starlight.  I had so much fun designing these cards — I ran out of time but it’s a stamp set that I really want to play with some more.  The cards are beautiful yet pretty simple.

The first card I want to share is a great combination of Dapper Denim and the Copper Foil Sheets.  I did “CASE” this card from Pinterest with a couple small “Peggy tweaks”. 
Dapper & Copper
Isn’t it fabulous.  I love the soft romantic look of the star swirl and love the copper and dapper denim color combo.  I forgot to take a picture of the inside but I added the star swirl again and stamped “Became the Light of the World”.

If you haven’t ordered this bundle yet it is a MUST HAVE!!

Holly Christmas Wishes

I love when Stampin’ Up! has BUNDLES — you know — a stamp set and then a coordinating punch or framelit set!!!  It makes everything so much easier when we are creating and bundles save us money too — 10% off when you purchase both items together. 

Today’s card features the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set and coordinating Holly Berry Builder Punch — it makes those little holly leaves and berries so easy to make.
