I'm not really one for crafting outside the box. I like to make cards. I like to scrap. I don't do much else in terms of papercrafts. But the tag in the kit was calling my name - "embellish me" and the glassine envelopes were saying "don't just cut me up and emboss me" (much as I love the look when I do!) so I listened to their tiny voices and did something about it.
(Please don't tell me that your crafting supplies don't speak to you because I won't believe it) (A triple negative sentence, go me)
I (modestly) think this tag sums up what makes the kit so fabulous. Aqua blue, green and yellow with a dash of black and white mixed with some fun and funky embellishments. I cut a strip of the Kesi'art Alouette paper that would leave a narrow margin round the tag, inked with black ink and adhered it. Then I tore a larger piece of the same paper, using the design on the reverse and added this on top. I gathered up most of the silver stars and popped them in the smallest glassine envelope. I turned over the top edge a few times before sticking down to the tag.
I covered this with one of the stamps and tied the black ribbon round, cutting the edges into a "v" shape. I die cut a star shape using the My Minds Eye History Blooms paper, inked the edges and added the words using a stamp set. I thought it would be fun to stamp "Star" on a separate piece of paper and staple it to the star, which was then attached to the tag. I had lots of fun shaking up the envelope to see the stars move around.
Scrumptious!! Oh you are tipping me over the edge is my quest not to buy any more supplies!! I'm with you...a classic colour combination and such beautiful papers to boot :0)
