Shining Star Christmas Card

Remember the lyric "hang a shining star upon the highest bow"? Well, here is a Christmas card with a shining star upon the highest bow. It's easy and simple to make.
















Here is the list of supplies and tools you will need to make this card:

Die Set(s):
- Star 5 Die Set by Spellbinders

Stamp(s):
- A Rhonna Christmas Card Stamps by Autumn Leaves

Cardstock and Paper
- 7" x 11" white cardstock
- 5" x 6.5" red cardstock
- Silver paper from Creative Memories Metallic Collection.

Embellishment:
- Scarlet Decorative Ribbon by Chatterbox
- Jeweled Brads by Heidi Swapp

Ink
- Basic Black from Stampin' Up!

Tools:
- Wizard by Spellbinders or other die cut systems that are compatible with Spellbinders Dies.
- Paper trimmer
- Scissor
- Tapes
- Silver pen


Instruction:
1. I used the largest star die from Star 5 die set to cut and emboss the star. Then I used the 2nd largest die to cut out the inside of star. To ensure that the die does not move while I was cutting, I use a very small piece of scotch tape to tape 2 corners of star and then remove the tape carefully after cutting. Now you have a silver star frame. Don't throw away the smaller star. I will show you another card make of the smaller star in the next couple of days.

2. I used the star frame as the template to mark on the white card stock on where I wanted to do the horizontal cut and also the triangle cut.

3. I used paper trimmer to make the horizontal cut and then used a pair scissors to cut the triangle out.

4. I attached the star onto the white card stock.

5. I stamped the 'tis the season on a red card stock and used a silver pen to add some shadow to the stamped image to make it stand out more.

6. Add some Scarlet Decorative Ribbon and a big sparkle Jeweled Brads from Heidi Swapp and that was it.

Have fun with this easy and elegant Christmas Card!
