Star Prints Cards

Edited to add: I forgot to mention my Copic Charts that a reader asked about. Unfortunately, my word document was lost when we had some computer trouble so I don't have them to share. But they are super easy to create: Open a word document and create a table with 4 columns and rows to fill the 8.5 x 11 sheet. I printed a title at the top and left the table blank. You can go to Copic to see their chart and fill in the markers #'s in order with a marker. I added ALL of the colors to my chart.....a girl can dream that she'll have the ENTIRE collection some day, right?

Star Prints was one of my favorite sets from this month's release at Papertrey. Stars are everywhere right now so Nichole really created this set at the perfect time. The patterns in the stars and the fun curly-q sentiments are perfect together.

While at my friend Carmen's house a while back, I was making some cards for the track coaches using our school colors of black and white. Using some of the leftover supplies, I stamped up some card bases. It was the first time that I had used the Guidelines Cardstock and let me tell you......it's amazing! You don't have to limit yourself to the Guidelines and Guidelines Two stamp sets when using this paper. I effortlessly was able to stamp the stars in an even pattern, then add smaller stars and sentiments in the leftover spaces. A great addition to our paper collection!Fast forward...I needed two more graduation cards. I dolled this one up with pink and black accents for a girl, using Vintage Buttons, Swiss Dot Ribbon and glitter.

And I kept this male version very simple by adding some black distressing to the cardstock edges and some Soft Stone cardstock.

Super fun little finds that making stamping easier......gotta love it!
