SOS538 – Superstars and 9th Birthday/Anniversary Challenge At Double D is where this creation will be posted. SOS wants stars on a project and DD is celebrating a 9th Birthday bash. The pop up word die is a new one (to me) from Gemini/Crafters Companion. It came as a freebie in my recent kit trial period. Even with the instructions I found it a bit challenging initially and my first attempt isn’t right at all. Rather than waste the PP, I cut around the words where they would normally be folded for the pop up, and added them to the card front. Then I used some previously cut (Hero Arts Infinity dies) stars and painted them with a silver pen. As I needed a few more than I had, I cut them using up silver scraps. I added some glitter here and there on both the background and on the words. Doing this distracts the eyes from a couple of small blotches I accidentally made when I dropped my pen. At the moment my right thumb is refusing to hold a pen properly. It would be funny if it wasn’t so painful. I shall be trying this die again after I’ve watched a couple of tutorials so I can get it right next time.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your time and also any comments you may leave.



Very pretty and festive. Love the silver stars.

I think this looks great! Though seeing how the die is supposed to be used will be fun, too. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
