Christmas Star–stepped up

 

…Or more like POPPED up!

 

 

Can you tell we have a little 3-D action going on here with the Christmas Star?

 

I LOVE IT!!

 

It's just a tad time-consuming.

 

But really only because you have to hand cut out the star.

 

(I'm SO spoiled by punches and framelits!!)

 

Here's how you POP it after you cut it out:

I used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, but you could use a bone folder along with your Paper Trimmer (track) OR the Envelope Punch Board scoring track.

1. Align one of the line images of a point on the star with a track on the Scoring Tool (tip and coordinating opposite valley).
2. Score that line with the Stylus from tip to valley.
3. Turn to the next point on the star and repeat steps 1 & 2.
4. Continue until each point is scored.
5. Fold on the full score line so you still see the stamped star.
6. Continue until all points have been folded.
7. Now fold 2 adjacent points on the star and pinch those points together to make the valley between them fold down, unseen.
8. Continue with the next adjacent point and valley until all points are popped and valleys are tucked down.
9. Flatten as much as desired.
10. To attach to a card, I attached a Dimensional underneath each point as close to the tip as possible without being seen.

 

Don't worry, Keana. I'll SHOW you!

 

In fact, you'll be doing it on a different card at my Christmas Stamp Camp Saturday.

 

CANNOT WAIT!!

 

Have a great week!
