The "GREEN" Star Christmas Card

Ok, I did promise you that I will show you another Christmas Card from the left over star die cut a few days ago. So here it is. In this card the main theme, Star, is all made of recycle paper. This is the "Green" Star Christmas Card.









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

Die Set(s):
- Star 5 Die Set by Spellbinders.
- Label 2 Die Set by Spellbinders.

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

Cardstock and Paper
- 8" x 11" cream cardstock
- Some left over scrap paper and a piece of 5" x 5" paper that will coordinate with the scrap
- Left over Silver Star from Shining Star Christmas Card or Silver paper from Creative Memories Metallic Collection.

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

Ink
- Real Red Pigment Ink from Stampin' Up!

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


Instruction:
1. First, I glued all scrap paper on a piece of paper that is large enough for me to cut out a star die cut using the third largest star die from Star 5 die set. I used mostly with shades of green paper and then add a little yellow and red pattern paper.

2. Take the glued paper with the star die and run through Wizard. Then glue it to the Silver Star die cut. If you don't have one, you can use the second largest star die and cut and embossing on a silver paper.

3. I used the largest die from Label 2 Die Set and cut and embossing on a red card stock to pick up the reds in my assembled star. I then use the same die and a template to outline silver border.

4. I stamped the Merry Christmas on the lower left hand corner of the card and used a silver pen to add some shadow to the stamped image to make it stand out more.

5. I added Scarlet Decorative Ribbon on the cream card stock first before attached the label and star die cuts. Finished it with some small sparkle Jeweled Brads from Heidi Swapp. Here is your "Green" Christmas Card.
