Star Happy Birthday

I made this card using the Camp Out solutions cricut cartridge for the stars and then various papers from the My Mind's Eye Just Dreamy line.

I used pop dots to raise up the different levels of the biggest star just to give it a little more dimension. I made this card for the masculine card challenge at Celebrate the Occasion and then for the Die Cuttin' Divas star card challenge too. I love their challenges, they always get my creative juices going!

If you haven't used the Sew Easy stitch piercer from We R Memory Keepers, it's definitely worth a look! I just rolled the piercer along with the zig zag attachment and it made the holes in the paper perfectly spaced so I could just come back and sew the line in with my different color threads. It was perfect for this stitching!
