Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Christmas is right around the corner.
(April Fool)
But honestly, it feels like the weeks and months are flying by!
My friend Chrissie (Simply One of a Kind) did some lovely cards last Fall
using stitched stars. I was so impressed that I found some stitch star dies and added
them to my stash. They've finally found their way out of the NBUS box.
I love how they paired up with this plaid paper!

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
I don't think I needed any help buying those stars, but I haven't used them yet, Bonnie... thanks for the reminder of why I bought them in the first place - they are fabulous! Love the plaid and that little baby glittery one in the middle!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Christmas outside my door! Bah humbug -much nicer than the words that came out of my mouth first thing this morning.

Very pretty. I like the way you used the plaid paper behind the cutout. I like making Christmas cards all year long and then we have them ready to send out. TFS
ReplyDeleteI love this! The skewed panels and plaid look fabulous! It’s such a nice, clean design. I sure do wish my creative mind worked like yours does. I have some nesting stars and may try something like this. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCAS and the stars look absolutely perfect with the plaid Bonnie! I have a nesting set of star dies too that rarely get used, but they sure come in handy when I do end up using them! AWESOME card my friend! Merry Christmas!! (Well it's looking a lot like Christmas in my neck of the woods! As Michele said...Bah humbug!!) Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Clean, crisp and fresh! Great way to use the stars AND the plaid!
ReplyDeleteNice, The plaid theme behind gives a warm cottage ambiance, like a log cabin Christmas. xx

Bright white and red plaid -- such a striking combo with the stars, and tilt design!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful design Bonnie, and I love the red plaid as the background to the stitched star and great contrast with the white and finished with added silver glitter red and white star embellishments, and the sentiment in black ties in beautifully. x
ReplyDeleteIt seems like such a simple card, Bonnie, but the layering and tilting add so much to the card design.
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of plaid and stars too Bonnie! Vicky x
