Manly Monday- Stitched Stars

 

Four Manly Monday cards with the Stitched Stars dies by ©Stampin' UP! I love how these cards turned out! I used the Color Family Brights and attached the stars 2 different ways. I used the Zany Zebras stamp set for my "Happy Birthday" but any Happy Birthday would work as long as it fits in the space.

All Four Together

Can you tell the difference in these stars? The one on the left are popping up with dimensionals and the one on the right is sunken in while the Whisper White is being popped up! I LOVE the look of both! 

Whisper White popped up. 

Stars are popping except for the little ones. I just glued those ones down. 

Which method do you like best? Stars in or stars out?

These cards are really easy to make and the best part is that they use mostly just scraps of paper for the stars. You can make these too by shopping at my online store and following my steps below.
