Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t

But Wait there's more Bigshot creations.....

Hi Everyone, At the end of the last post I did say I'd be adding another one using up some of the bits that we created the other day (admittedly a couple of these are ones I'd created before the class, but as they Oooh'd and Ahhh'd over them appropriately, I thought I'd best share with the wider world too 😁 First up using the Butterflies Thinlits dies . All these cards use the partial cutting technique. and this one uses the StarBlast Edgelits   I did take another photo closeup of the die cut bit, here it is! It's made up as an Easel Card, so the die cut pops out of the top (might need to create a stamp for this one too, as I did think it would look pretty cool with the die cut stamped into the gap on the card!).... thinking on that one......! Moving onto this last card to show you today, again using the Butterflies thinlit die , as a partial cut I've added silver foil cardstock behind it and I'm not sure the photos really do it
