So hard to believe that Christmas is over, and 2010 is coming to a close! Today marks the final PTI blog hop for this year as well! This month, our challenge was:
Holiday Leftovers
It's that time again for our annual holiday leftovers challenge! Use scraps of wrapping paper, parts of
holiday cards, recycle gift tags or bits of ribbon on a paper crafting project. We all have plenty of it
laying around after all the holiday excitement and this is your chance to incorporate some of those pretty
little things into an amazing piece of art!
I used a cute little penguin Christmas card to make a gift tag! He was too cute to throw in the trash! I also used my new PTI Seeing Stars dies to make a 3D star. I am addicted. They are so cute, and SO easy.
Edit: Since so many asked how to make the star 3D, I will share with you how I did it. It is really simple. You just take your star cut out (any size will work), and simply score the star by making a vertical score line from each point of the star straigh down until you can't go any further. Make sure that each score line intersects the others in the center of the star. Then crease the score lines and that will give you the 3D effect. I hope I explained it clearly. It sounds more complicated than it is. Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Pure Poppy
Paper: Kraft, Pure Poppy, Stampers Select White, Distressed Dots, misc. blue dot

Thank you all :) I edited my post to include 3D star instructions. So easy to do, but hard to put into words. Hope that helps... let me know if you have any questions. :)
Adorable tag!
so cute!! and thanks for explaining the 3D star, it adds so much. i can't wait to try it!
I also love the penguin tag. What is inside? I am a fun of recycling products and this is a great way to recycle items and been able to create a new product put from recycled items. Great job! But there are products that can be purchased by way of Com Coupons, in this way you can save and many items that you can also purchase. It is better to save money and getting good products at reasonable prices.
