Susanbcards: Spellbinders Barn Star Wreath 2 Ways

Today I'm sharing the Spellbinders Barn Star Wreath by Annie Williams. The entire Country Christmas Collection can be seen HERE. It's very cute!

For the first card, I used copper metallic cardstock. I like the look, it reminds me of tin art, where they make holes to make a design. There are 2 sets of designs to use on the star points. The dies make an impression on the paper that can be lightly folded to give the star dimension. I did that on the first star. I then made a second solid star from gold cardstock to back the holes.

For the background, I took some old patterned cardstock. It's a tiedye look with gold splashed on it. I know it's no longer available but there are many cardstocks like that. I embossed it with the 3D embossing folder from the same collection. This time I embossed it so the design was impressed into the card, and using the black out technique of rubbing the ink pad over it highlights the design. I used Sapphire BetterPress ink.

The sentiment is a BetterPress sentiment from the same collection. I love the shape of the die that cuts it out.

For the second card, I decided to use all the accessory dies included in this set, the bow, fruit and leaves, etc. I cut the star from brown cardstock and backed it with gold cardstock. The faux wood paper is from Your Paper Insider's Box 12. If you want to see the contents of the box, I posted a video yesterday on my blog, HERE.

I wanted it to look as though the star was hanging from a front door. I love the little sentiment shape. I added a few gold "holes". These are included in the sentiment dieset.

That's it for today, linked below are the supplies I used with clickable links. If you use my links, it lets the stores know you find my content useful. Thank you so much.
