Confetti Stars Embossing Folder (Z3119)

I just loved this little Stargazer set and figured it was a perfect way to "BLAST OFF" into the new year! :)  I stamped the images onto white cardstock and simply watercolored the images. I added a bit of Glitter Marker accents to the images for some sparkle.

I used the Confetti Stars embossing folder to add some texture to the canary cardstock. 

Guess where the pattern for this card came from? Our NEWEST how-to guide, Make it From Your Heart Volume 4!!!

Here is how I decorated the inside of the card and the outside of the envelope:

Close to My Heart - Cross Canada Blog Hop!

Hi friends! 

I'm so excited to be here on the Cross Canada Blog Hop!  Hello from sunny Saskatchewan!!!

I'm featuring the new release paper from Close to My Heart called "Little Dreamer".  You should have made it to my blog from Brandy's Blog. I was so lucky to recently meet Brandy at Spring Up!  She's so sweet, talented and amazing! :)  I look forward to being able to connect and meet more of my Close to My Heart sisters in the future. I'm so blessed to be in the midst of such talent.

Here is what I created: 

I used a variety of Little Dreamer accessories on this card!  The sentiment panel was cut right from the Paper Pack (I love the Picture My Life cards that are included in the paperpack!).  It made a perfect background, I had stamped and cut out a bunch of unicorns last week, so he was easy to grab and add to the card. The flower, hearts and star came from the Complements pack and of course you need add Glitter Gems to EVERYTHING! hehehe

I added an accent of White & Gold Ribbon along the bottom for a little extra umph. 

Supply List:

(ALL CLOSE TO MY HEART unless indicated)

Little Dreamer Cardmaking Stamp Set & Thin Cuts

Little Dreamer Coordinating Cardstock Pack

Little Dreamer Glitter Gems

Little Dreamer Complements

Little Dreamer Paper Pack

White & Gold Ribbon

Inks: Blossom, Lemon, Thistle
