Life's Curve Balls & Bethlehem Edgelets

Hello Everyone, and Welcome!

Here I am! Are you surprised? I must apologize to everyone, I truly thought that I would have the time to create some personal Stampin' Up projects while teaching classes at the studio. Turns out that I have been busier than anticipated. I have really missed coming to this blog to post and share. However, I have wanted for quite a while to create Christmas cards using the Bethlehem Edglets, and finally have had the chance to do so.

I was inspired by a card creation I saw on Pinterest (could find the link to who created it) who used this die set, and the Star of Night stamp set. I had to be creative as I do not have the 'Star of Night' stamp set. But I do like mixed media, and happen to have stencils and paste that would take the place of the stamp set and add some texture to the card at the same time.

When deciding on the number of cards to make, I decided that a dozen would be good, as I wanted to make other card designs using this die set for this Christmas. So here they are!


The sentiment stamp you see is not Stampin' Up, as most of my Stampin' Up product is in storage and has been for a little over a year now. Here is what the card looks like.


I do not know if you can tell from the photo, but the smaller die cut star is cut from the 6 x 6 pack of glitter paper. The larger star is just Whisper White.


If you see some glitter on the white stencilled paste, that is because I put it there after the paste dried.


I sure like the layered look of the Bethlehem scene. This is a die set I will keep for a long time.


I am sure many of you that follow this blog, may have had this set for a while, but for me this is the first time I had a chance to use it. I plan on making a few more cards with this die set, so see you soon!

It was wonderful to post here again with some Stampin' Up product!

Happy creating everyone!
