The card I am sharing today was made for the Stamping with Friends Product of the Month Blog Hop using an unusual colour combo and the Shining Stars dies which were the October 2026 product of the month.
Colours used to make this card are:
I created the starry friends card using the following supplies:
Cajun Craze card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Darling Duckling – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Darling Duckling, Cajun Craze & Secret Sea
I used the Shining Stars dies to cut a selection of the smaller stars from scrap Darling Duckling, Cajun Craze and Secret Sea card.

Using two of the nesting stars dies I cut a star shaped frame from a larger scrap of Darling Ducking card.

The stars were then added to the smaller panel of Basic White card, most of them flat with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the largest of the Cajun Craze stars on Dimensionals.

I randomly added the ‘dotty’ image with 2nd generation Darling Duckling and Cajun Craze ink. The decorated layer was then adhered to the Darling Duckling panel and then to the Cajun Craze card front.

The sentiment from the Banner Sayings stamp set was stamped on a scrap strip of Basic White card with Secret Sea ink, trimmed it down and flagged the ends before adding it to the card front.
