Dimensional Star Card
Hi bloggers! Here is a really simple card showing how to add dimension to the Aurora Star die. It is so easy but adds such a nice touch to any card!
The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Gorgeous Sue, so lovely. Wendy Good Luck for today's interview. June, so happy to hear you are home, just let hubby take care of you, don't try to run just yet. Elaine, I'm sorry that Andrew is still not well, hope he starts to feel better soon. Tina, hope Peter is more comfortable after his dressing change. Betty, good news that the hand is improving. Maria, hope the steroid injections help. Tina and Mick, Tracey, Laine, Yvonne, Lorraine, Wheeley and Billy, and all who are not well, thinking of you. Hugs to all.
Good morning Sue and crafters all, Lovely card today, such clever use of the Aurora star die. Colours go so well together!!!! Well lottery was won but it wasn't me!!!!! Pam, yes Peter feels a lot better now he has a straight dressing on and well padded. Eating better, even asking for Pizza which has not had for a long time and he ate 3/4 of a 10 inch one. June Smith so glad you are home, keep up with the excerises. You will recover better in your own home. Love and crafty hugs to all, Tina T xxxx
Morning Sue. You really know how to hit the spot these days. This is just one of many that shone (if you pardon yet another pun) ! during your last lot of demo's both at AP and on our tv screen. It's simple but so effective the way you've added dimension to those gorgeous star's so before Andy returns with the dog and any spooky stories (only one pun today) I'm off to watch your magic fingers do the do ☺ one question for you though before I log out... how come you manage to get at least 3 cards done in a morning ? I put one card together that had been all cut and prepared with the dies I wanted, but only got half of another prepared, I will admit to 'faffing' about with my elephant, bottle, nappy pin etc to make sure I like the way it looks, but really ? Sunday is looming, I've made ONE extra baby boy card to add to the collection, one sitting on my table which I'll probably 'faff' about with plus pink New Arrival animals, shadow box additions, stork, and so on sitting there just waiting ! What about the festive order ? It's ONLY October ! Lol. Anyway I need to go watch you while the bungalow is relaxed and peaceful, so here's my Thursday hug for you, and June, glad you are home, you'll have a quicker recovery at home hopefully and the more you do the exercises from the physio sheet you may have been given, the sooner you will get the benefit from your new knee and you can treat husby to the odd cup of tea or coffee. Have a lovely day Sue however you're going to spend it xxx
Good Morning Sue Love this elegant card,I have this die and I have made some of my smaller cards using it. It's so striking even just using one star. Thanks Jan x
Good morning Sue. Fabulous card and video, the shaping of the stars just adds that special touch. June, pleased you're home, I'm sure you'll recover quicker in your own home as long as you don't try to do too much too soon. Wheelybad, thanks for the Billy update, hope he continues to behave himself and not jump around. Wendy, keeping my fingers crossed for you today. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Love the card today Sue. I've just brought the Star die so the inspiration from your design is well timed! I love the trio of stars and they do look so different.
Really like this card, Sue, sadly video keeps going into error mode and blacking out with a message, so will try again later. Wheely - really feel for you. Hope you and Billy truly in recovery mode soon. PP - OMG a fraught household again, thank heavens for one calm son! Doesn't do much for the fatigue levels, though. and Laine - sounds as though you're mobile? Tacker fine - 4 months - no owner or new home yet ha ha love him. Will introduce him to the three other littlies soon, now he's had a period of 'isolation'. Our lovely vet leaving tomorrow so got touch of the glooms. There are 8 others in the very rural practice, all competent of course, but they don't have that special touch. Have been so blessed. Hugs to all the poorly people.
Good Morning Sue Love the Stars and the E/Folder must watch the Video next! Love the new editions for next month too! Take care Wheely,June and all the others who are trying to get well! Love Marg
Good morning Sue lovely card I really like the three dimensional effect on the stars I have this die so will give this a go later Healing wishes to all who are unwell

Tina, pleased Peter is eating and enjoying his pizza. Elaine, thinking of Andrew and Darren. Love to all, especially those having treatment, in pain or down in spirits. Maureen xx
Loving the Christmas touches in your video crafting area. I have the Aurora Star and it is already a favourite but who would have thought with a little scoring it could be elevated to a dimensional star. Great colour combo too. Thanks.
To My Very Special Friend Sue, Like Lots Of Your Tremendous Blog Family I Love To Watch Your Video's On The You Tube Channel And I Love It When They Come Around On Your Blog. I Love The Outstanding Star Swirls Embossing Folder, Very Striking Indeed I Love The Fabulous Colour Palette You've Chosen The Milk, Antique Gold, Also The Black. The Stunning Aurora Star I Like Many Just Love How You've Brought The Star To Life By Giving It Dimension, You Clever Lady, You Share All Your Awesome Talents With Us And I For One Am In Total "Awe" Of You!!!!!!!!! You Inspire Me Daily With Your Beautiful Artwork I So Appreciate Everything You Do Thank You So Very Much For Sharing, Take Care My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue Warmest Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather Love And Huge Hugs To Yourself Sue From Sam xxx Hugs To "All" Wilsonettes
Hi Sue What a beautiful card today, very sophisticated. Love the background embossing folder. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx June good to hear you are home, quality sleep will help you recover xxx Elaine I hope both brothers get on ok at the hospital xxx Tina it's good to hear Peter is enjoying pizza xxx Sending hugs to Tina and mick and Tracey. Maria I hope the injections help xxxx
Ooooh pretty pretty. This is one I'll be doing. The star comes a close second to the snowflake flurry lol I even have the snow globe shaker card. Hubby was impressed lol.
Used the platinum machine yesterday. It cuts a lot better than the calibur but I find it very clunky to use. Another right annoying thing is I have to use the calibur for my noble dies to cut and emboss as it only comes with the small plates. And I can't afford another £50 for large cutting plates and blue embossing folder with Matt What's the point of an A4 machine then only give u small plates? I know u can use calibur plates but it's so very tight I'd rather not invalidate the warranty. RAnt over lol but on the whole I'm pretty happy with it.
Your Aurora Star die is so lovely, especially when scored and folded for dimension. Your card design today is beautiful. I appreciate your video on making this card. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Sue and all your crafty crew Beautiful card Sue not watched the video yet will do that later Love the dimention on these stars it is brilliant Been having a sneak peek at you upcoming die release ohhh my. My bank account is going to be hit yet again lol Might have to come out of retirement. Have a great day folks and hugs to all that need one Theresa G xx
A timely video as I plan to take this Aurora Star die , and a few other dies, along with my Big Shot up to the caravan this weekend so that I can spend time when I am not with my mum, preparing to make Christmas cards.
For once I have all the makings for this card!! It is a lovely one and I like the black and gold combination although I might play around with a few others. The tip for giving the star a textural feel is useful and effective. I have made notes in my little pink craft notebook to take with me as I have too poor public wifi access to watch it again whilst I am there.
June, I am pleased to hear that you have returned home. I am sure your recovery will be all the faster now that you are back in more comfortable surroundings. Each day will see improvement.
Hello Sue This is a lovely card I hadn't realised the star could be used for other occasions so is a must have. Elaine I hope Andrews treatment doesn't make him feel as awful as last time, poor Darren I had my wisdom teeth out in my 20s I can still remember the pain. June I hope today is better. Wendy thinking about you today I hope the interview went well.
Hi Sue. WOW This is a very elegant and striking card. The Aurora Star die is gorgeous and on my wish list and i was looking at your up coming die release and i must say there is some stunning dies which i have added to my wish list, hoping to get most of them off Santa Clause lol. Thanks for the video along with the hints and tips to give the star dimention. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Hello Sue and loverly ladies Saw this card being demo'd and it is lovely. Must get some of that gold card. The star die has gorgeous detail and I love! love! love! the embossing folder. So sorry been AWOL, life doesn't get any less bonkers but just wanted to say hi to everyone and send hugs to all my crafty friends and anyone else who needs one. Love and blessings Deb C xx
Hello Sue, Just back from a lovely day out visiting two separate houses in East Sussex with a group I belong to. The countryside looked wonderful and it was so beautiful to see the changing colours of the trees in the Autumn sun. I love the Aurora star and the striking colour combination you have used today not forgetting one of my favourite embossing folders in the background. A really great card and video! Lesley S x
Hello Sue, I'm late but I have watched the video! I love this card and I have the Die . It is beautiful! Thank you for showing so many ways in which to use it! I cut it yesterday several times using the soft gold card and milk card! Shiny black card coming up!!! Deb C - I do hope your FIL is settling in to his new Home . I know it's hard, but as my Dad used to say , " prayer changes things!" Maria - hope you are feeling better! Tracy - I know what you mean about the plates! I would have been really stuck if it hadn't been for Sue and JulIia using the GC plates. I have now bought the large plates and they make a difference. Would have been nice to get those with the machine though!! H June - take care and just take things slowly! Princess P - sorry you aren't well and you have sons having a difference of opinion into the bargain! Would another visit from Laine help??? To everyone else going through times of trouble I send my love and best wishes! Lots of love everyone, especially Sue! Myra xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely CAS card that I remember from your shows. A little wide for my taste (I would have to make the envelopes to fit) but otherwise great for batch making. By giving dimension to the star it really makes a statement and I actually like this amount of black with the gold.
Wheely - thanks for the update on Billy, glad he is ok now. I can well imagine the fright you must have had when he started bleeding. Sorry it has taken its toll on your strength so I hope you have several calm and peaceful days.
P Pixie - I really thought you had those boys better trained! :-) Let's hope this one blows over quickly and peace reigns supreme in your kingdom lol
Hi Sue. I have just been looking at some of the dies for your next launch and I can't believe how detailed and delicate they are. I thought you had surpassed yourself on the last launch but you seem to have pushed the boundaries even more this time! Back to today's card, a really beautiful design, but for me it could do with a bit of glitter - you know how much I love glitter on Christmas cards.
This is another gorgeous card and i was so hoping you were going to show this one. I loved it when i saw the sample on hochanda. I have this beautiful die and will definately giving this a go.
Lovely design. Elegant in gold and black and would look good in other colour combos too. That little bit of dimension on the stars makes so much difference. Take care everyone.
Gorgeous Sue, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteWendy Good Luck for today's interview.
June, so happy to hear you are home, just let hubby take care of you, don't try to run just yet.
Elaine, I'm sorry that Andrew is still not well, hope he starts to feel better soon.
Tina, hope Peter is more comfortable after his dressing change.
Betty, good news that the hand is improving.
Maria, hope the steroid injections help.
Tina and Mick, Tracey, Laine, Yvonne, Lorraine, Wheeley and Billy, and all who are not well, thinking of you.
Hugs to all.
Lovely card Sue.

June - take care and just take things slowly!
Princess P - sorry you aren't well and you have sons having a difference of opinion into the bargain! Would another visit from Laine help???
To everyone else going through times of trouble I send my love and best wishes!
Lots of love everyone, especially Sue!

elegant card. love the dimension on the stars, hugs xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and I live the 3D effect of the stars
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a lovely CAS card that I remember from your shows. A little wide for my taste (I would have to make the envelopes to fit) but otherwise great for batch making. By giving dimension to the star it really makes a statement and I actually like this amount of black with the gold.
ReplyDeleteWheely - thanks for the update on Billy, glad he is ok now. I can well imagine the fright you must have had when he started bleeding. Sorry it has taken its toll on your strength so I hope you have several calm and peaceful days.
P Pixie - I really thought you had those boys better trained! :-) Let's hope this one blows over quickly and peace reigns supreme in your kingdom lol

Hi Sue. I have just been looking at some of the dies for your next launch and I can't believe how detailed and delicate they are. I thought you had surpassed yourself on the last launch but you seem to have pushed the boundaries even more this time!
ReplyDeleteBack to today's card, a really beautiful design, but for me it could do with a bit of glitter - you know how much I love glitter on Christmas cards.
