Angela's PaperArts: Star Happy Hanukkah card

I've been making special fold Star cards for some friends who have their Hanukkah festivities starting next week.  The retiring Stampin' Up! Shining Brightly specialty paper has not only been perfect for my Christmas cards, it's also great for Hanukkah cards together with the Celebrate the Miracle stamp set.

The card base is an origami six point star fold.

The card interlocks to stay together and the sentiment circle is only attached to one of the star points. Here's the card open.

The current Stampin' Up! products used on this project can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia. All retiring products are only available while stock lasts or until 3 January 2024 at the latest.

Starry christmas card

This Christmas card features one of my favourite colour schemes, gold, black & white.

I started with a Stampin' Up! Basic Black card base and layered the gorgeous polka dot Fabulous Foil acetate over the top.  A tip when using this acetate - it has a protective coating on it to protect it in transit, so don't forget to peel it off before adding the acetate to the card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and die cut it using the Lots of Labels framelits.  I also die cut a slightly larger label in Gold Foil and layered them together.  The holly leaves were punched using the Holly Berry Punch, painted with a bit of Gold Wink of Stella and added to the sentiment, together with a gold bow.  The star from the Starlight thinlits has inbuilt fold lines and when you fold and score along these lines, it gives the star a 3D effect.  I added a few foam dimensionals under the centre of the star to ensure it kept its shape.
