Kelly Griglione was kind enough to direct me to the Frame It! challenge at Less is More which also coordinates with this weeks fun challenge at CAS-ual Fridays as well.
The 'chipboard' stars were created from two layers of craft-a-board and one layer of a recycled hot coffee cup holder that was run through my crimper. I love the rich chestnut brown color and fabulous texture. Added some SU linen thread and popped the stars up with dimensionals. I used some glorious water color paper for the card fronts (more sweet texture!)
Excitement galore at our house as the nice mailman delivered my very first Paper Smooches stamps and dies (thanks Kim and Karolyn). Of course I had to get at least one image inked up (the above sentiment)! I am so impressed with the quality of the photo polymer.stamps and how well they stamp! And, the customer service is second to none! I just might have to call in sick tomorrow from work so that I can test drive the remainder of my order!
Happy crafting!
Creative meets fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely creation my friend!
Big hug to you

This is fun - I love the rusticness (?) of the stars - this could be a Christmas card, very easily!
ReplyDeleteSah-wheet!!! What a beautifully CAS creation. It's elegant and whimsical at the same time. You've really done it this time! LOVE this. Wonderful. Bev
ReplyDeleteYou wrapped the stars! LOVE!! What a great design element. Too bad you missed the CASE this Sketch deadline, but why don't you hop over to Less Is More? Your CAS card would be perfect for the frame challenge they have. So glad you joined the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge this week, Geri!
ReplyDeleteTactile texturey heaven, Geri ... amazing and lovingly created stars, individually cocooned in their own linen star-wrapping! Enjoy playing with the PS stuff (aren't they fantastic) ... so looking forward to seeing what playtime produces! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! This is a stunner! I don't think I could love this card any more! Thank you for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteFAB-u-lous!!! I've missed the CTS deadline by minutes too Geri. I feel your pain! It's frustrating...especially when the card you make is a real contender! I love everything about this...especially the twine wrapped stars...so perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the homemade stars and LOVE how you wrapped the twine around them :) Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Friday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI so love the primitive look of the stars paired with all of the white space!! I want to know if you called in sick and, if so, what other great things you have to show us!

ReplyDeleteOh, Geri, this is such a delight! A total winner in my book of wieners!! I mean, winners, geesh!! Everything about the balance and the twine and how it's framed, and the new sentiment, but mostly, did I mention the frame??!!

Never fret about missing a deadline, sistah. Life is just to freakin' short for that! This turned out beautifully and I'm so glad you found a couple of challenges to link it up to because it's GOR-JUS!! Love those chipboard stars and the twine wrapped around them. There's a clean yet rustic look about this that just makes me swoon! So glad you got your goodies - am loving what you're doing with them!! But I'm not surprised . . . I knew you'd rock them OUT! Love, your BINGO lovin' friend! XOXO P.S. I won another $800 Wednesday night - I'm on a ROLL!! LOL
