More Star Stax and another sentiment from the set inside...
And, because I couldn't help myself, I made a second card! It's fairly CAS, if you call using 22 brads CAS! I broke up another sentiment from the set {there are SEVERAL!} and stamped it onto the Traditional Tags Stax to make a banner using some twine. These Traditional Tags Stax have a thicker border, so I trimmed off the embossed edge to make the border thinner. The tiny stars are from the smallest Star Stax die-namics. I love that cool Notched Border die-namic! And yea, there was just a little piercing involved on this one, hehe!
Here's a peek at the inside... These are the largest two Traditional Tags Stax! Yep, just add those to your must-have list!!! Yet another sentiment from this set and more piercing finish the inside. This card will be perfect to slip in hubby's luggage before he leaves for one of his trips. I'm cool like that. ;)
