Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week that will end starting the Christmas season. Is everyone starting to prep for Thanksgiving? It’s going to be very small at my house with just my husband, daughter and I and of course the puppy. My plans are actually to start undecorating my house Wednesday night while the pies are baking, Thursday morning move furniture around and start bringing down Christmas decorations. Now of course I won’t start the actually decorating until after the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade when Santa arrives.
Today’s card was another one for our retreat designed by Judi Hartbarger. This card is so simple and so stunning. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle along with the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper for my card today.
I started by cutting 1 1/8″ off the right wide of the Night of Navy card base front using my Paper Trimmer. I embossed a panel of Very Vanilla using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder making sure that the lard star was front and centered. I adhered the embossed panel to a Distressed Gold mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the Night of Navy card base using Liquid Glue.
I cut 2 stars from a panel of Night of Navy and 1 star from a panel of Distressed Gold using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the stars together using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered stars to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals placing it on top of the embossed star. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stars At Night Dies. I cut a panel of Night of Navy using the same Stars At Night Die. I adhered the sentiment to the Night of Navy mat, off centering it so there was a shadow above the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, overhanging the right side slightly.
I added a few of the Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets to the card front. Unfortunately, these are no longer available, but Rhinestones would look very pretty.
For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Stars At Night stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I stamped the small star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the Night of Navy card base. I adhered the 2 strips of Shining Brightly DSP to the right of the sentiment and the other to the inside left side.
To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the star cluster image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Shining Brightly DSP to the envelope flap.
Judi also had all the supplies for us to make a gorgeous ornament to go with the stunning card. The ornament rings are not Stampin’ Up! products. She purchased them from her local craft store.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
