Sabra Here! This was a super fun card to make! I used a piece of paper from the Cosmic Designer Paper pad and then cut out a bunch of different stars out of the Holographic Mirror Paper - Metallic Paper pad. I put the stars all on the background and then put the astronaut and the largest star on adhesive foam to push it out so it looks like the astronaut is riding a shooting star with a beautiful cloudy and stary background. I loved how it turned out, the only problem was the shiny paper made it hard to get pictures without my reflection... despite my best efforts it clearly wasn't successful so you will see my reflection! haha! 

Here is the card:

Here are some of the specific products I used:

  • Scrapbook.com Astronaut and Rocket Die Set
  • Scrapbook.com Cosmic Designer Paper Pad
  • Scrapbook.com - Holographic Mirror Paper - Metallic Paper Pad
  • Simon Says Stamp Shoot for the Stars wafer word die
  • Stitched and nesting Star Dies
  • Tim Holtz Distress 8.5 x 11 Black Heavystock
  • Various colored cardstock from personal crafting stash

Sabra Here! This was a super fun card to make! I used a few different fruit themed scrap papers, ribbon bits, embellishments and a tag from our "scrap collection" to create this fun summer themed card! Idaho took a bit turn into a cold spring so I could use a little "sunshine"! I loved how it turned out! 

Here is the card:

Some specific products I used:

  • Stampin' Up! Stamp set (from a paper pumpkin) for the sentiment
  • Tim Holtz Fossilized Amber and Evergreen Bough Distress Ink Cubes
