I recently got the new Simon Says Stamp December card kit in the mail and couldn’t wait to play with it. I had missed the deadline of the latest CAS(E) this sketch, but I wanted to create a card with it anyway. It definitely works for the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge, because the current one is anything goes! You could win a $50 shopping spree if you enter!!! And with me being broke because I ordered a new camera, 2 lenses, wireless memory card and kids presents on Black Friday, that would be wonderful!
I started by cutting the right side of a 3″ x 5″ piece of white cardstock (from kit) with the Simon Says Falling Stars die. Packing tape was adhered behind the stars and Sterling Glitter was rubbed over it. A sentiment from Merry Everything stamp set (included in kit) was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the right side of the cardstock piece.
The card base is a 3 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock (included in kit) folded in half. A 2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Pink Paislee Sidewalk patterned paper (included in kit) was taped to the lower half of the card base and silver cord was tied around the card base. A wooden button (included in the kit) was adhered to the left hand side of the white layer to finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! I know mine will be! My new camera is scheduled to arrive today!!!
Hugs and smiles

OOOOOOooooooo. All those shimmery stars! And I love the vertical title on this simple beauty!
Beautifully done, Beate. What a great terrific idea to use the tape behind the stars for a glittery scene. Love those stars! 🙂 I see they are sold out already at Simon Says Stamp 🙁 bummer
Love these cute little stars! What a fab card! Hugs
Pure genius! Love this one!
I love how you mix up your style and always have a great tip to share….the tape idea…really smart.
Oh I was eyeing that die!!! It’ so fun! Love how you added glitter behind the panel….great idea!
cute way to use the die, like your idea of the packing tape behind to hold the glitter
Wonderful card, Beate! As others have commented before – that is a great tip to use the tape behind the stars to add glitter!
Those tiny star holes are awesome, very clever.
Love your card but I have that die and it leaves an impression of the irregular edges of the die on my card stock every time. I don’t know why they didn’t make it a solid plate with the stars as cutting surfaces instead of trimming the metal around the outsides of the stars. That’s what causes the impression. I will be returning it if they don’t charge me the 20% restocking fee.
simply fabulous! love the falling stars and the pops of red from the patterned paper. super card, Beate! hope you have a wonderful weekend! =)
Love the glittered stars – Cool technique. I woulddn’t have thought to do that on such small areas.
I always love cards that have something punched out and a background behind. They just really stand out to me as something different and special. This one is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
This is so clean and simple, I love it. Your cards are such an inspiration to me.
Beate, this is such a classy, clean and simple way to use the falling stars die. I love the glitter-covered packing tape behind it! So sparkly and fun!

So so pretty! 🙂

Beautiful card!! I can’t wait to use the stars trick. Thanks!!
I love this card!! This is the sort of thing I like to do while I am watching TV and can “knock out a stack” of them in one night. I always wait until the last minute so I have to have something quick! Thanks for this idea and I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday!!
love that die cut-I keep telling myself to slow down on wanting all the new toys….it’s hard, lol.
Wow Beate, you are really rocking the “CAS” Cards latley. & you always say it’s not your forta. Clearly you excell in all of it! Hug Traci ;0)
First of all, I love the top folded tall card! It is such a great example of CAS!
Beautiful card. Just added this die to my wish list. You’re a great enabler. 😉
What a great idea to put the tape behind the stars. I just have to try that.
This is wonderful. I love the dimensions of your cards – so different. I have to give that size a try.
Love, love, love what you did with the stars. Putting the packing tape behind the stars was a genius idea. Going to copy that one. Thanks for sharing.
