Texana Designs Stars & Tim Holtz 3d Star Dies


I finally got around to using the Tim Holtz 3-d Star Die.  I absolutely love the dimensional stars.  I was also thrilled to discover that the Texana Designs Star stamps work perfectly with the dies.  I added the perfect sentiment and misted with Perfect Pearls.  

I made one hanging ornament that is stamped on both sides and the sentiment is duplicated on a Tattered Label so that it can be read from either direction.

Then created four cards using a couple of star embossing folders I have on Core'dinations Chocolate papers.  I sanded the embossed areas to reveal the color below.  I stamped the sentiment on the reverse side of the Core'dnations paper for a perfect match and inked the edges for a nice distressed looked.  I did adhere the 3-d stars with pop dots just to help keep the stars raised through all of the Texana Design Trunk Shows they will be traveling to.

Just look at the three dimensions here!
The large stamp fits great of the small die.
The large die allowed for use of the large stamp as well as random mini stars.
