Use a Digi Challenge at OSAAT

It's time for another fun challenge at One Stitch at a Time, and this week we have an easy theme for you: "Use a Digi". If you're like me, you have a computer full of digi stamps but you always need more!

Each month, the StitchyBear Store Artists put one of their lovely images into a big store-wide collaboration (Collab) set. The Collab set is available all month, and is free with a $12 purchase. This image, Birthday Star by Hope Jacare Doodles, is included in June's Collab set. You know you want it!

I made a simple and bright Birthday card inspired {PIN}spirational Challenge #9. I printed the digi stamp onto 2 shades of yellow paper, cut out the stars and pieced them onto the base, and then added some color and detail with glitter pens. The die-cut star is also dry-embossed, using the Pot Pourri Becky Fleck/Spellbinders set. I added the color with the same glitter pens.

The ribbon is a die cut, but is also ribbon! I was inspired by Andrea Amu's fabric-cutting tutorial on Core'dinations' blog, and used some May Arts white "crushed silk" ribbon and white cardstock for this. It took me a little while to trim the excess threads, but it was worth it.

The glittered-stars paper is actually handmade; I used some small wooden shapes, glued to an old wine bottle cork, to stamp & heat-emboss the stars using Stampendous's Kaleidoscope glitter powder. 

I found this cool stamping idea on Pinterest (via Die-Dolo), and it's as simple as the instructions make it look on Hand Made Kultur!

Just for fun, I used a couple of cork stickers on the card. I heat-embossed on these as well, but the one on the right also has wooden stars adhered to it.

Hope you'll join us at One Stitch at a Time for our "Use a Digi" challenge. We have two prizes up for grabs this week! For entries using a StitchyBear Store product (be sure to add a # after your name when entering), your could win a prize from our sponsor Crimson Cloud, or this month's StitchyBear Collab (left). You're welcome to enter the challenge using different products, but will instead be entered into the draw to win a $3 coupon to StitchyBear. Can't wait to see your projects!
