The Sentiment is the STAR!

Hey there stamping friends. I decided to play along with the Lawn Fawnatics challenge... Make the Sentiment the Star! 

It's all about creating a project where the sentiment is the main focus. For my sentiment I chose the Giant Let It Snow Die cut. 

You can see the two projects I made in the video below.  If you can not see the video on your screen, you can watch it here. 

Now let's take a look at the card. 

I had so much fun making the snowy background for this card, using Distress Oxide Ink, Water, Distress Mica Spray and Acrylic Paint!  

To help my sentiment be the STAR of the show I die cut it from white glitter paper and topped it off with some glaze. 

I also dressed it up with some ear muff and mittens. These are from the Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add On die set. The mittens look like they are just waiting for snow to fall to the ground. 

Next up is the Woven Star/Snowflake Ornament. I have been making this ornament for years. Every year I try to make a new version of it. Last year I made several and strung them into a banner. 

This year I went BIGGER! And added new elements too. 

Usually this ornament is made with 6" strips of patterned paper. This year I used 8" strips and I LOVE the larger size so much. 

The added elements are the mittens that I added to each point of this snowflake. These are very easy to make and I show you how in the video. You are going to be diving into your hoarded stash of patterned paper when you see how easy these are to make and creating a bunch of them! You can also watch the original tutorial on how to make these right HERE.

Here are the fun things I did to make this sentiment the star of my star ornament... 

First I die cut the sentiment from a piece of card stock that I used to pick up excess Mica Spray from the card above. Then I added a bit of glitter paper "snow" to the bottom.  The penguin as the O is my favorite part!  He's so cute! 

Just loving how these turned out and that a challenge like this gives me so much added mojo!

Below are all the supplies I used to make these projects. 

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my creations with you. I hope you leave feeling inspired to create and that I'll see you back here again soon for more creative inspiration.
