Welcome! Today is Friday, so that means a TGIF post. I’ve been struggling with my crafty mojo recently but I feel like I’m finally getting my stride back. What do you do to help with your creative blocks?

So, for this week’s card, I created a Star Wars birthday card and matching envelope for a Star Wars obsessed eight year old. I couldn’t have made this card without the help of my Silhouette machine, some free clip art files, and a free Star Wars font.

As a bonus I also created a coordinating envelope. I create a coordinating envelope to go with almost every card I make, but I’ve never done a video showing how I do it. With the help of my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board it’s a cinch.

That’s no moon! It’s a space station!

Supplies:

• Ink: Versamark Watermark;
• Stamps: SimonSaysStamp, Hand Lettered Winter Wishes;
• Cardstock: SimonSaysStamp 100# Sunshine; SimonSaysStamp 100# Dark Chocolate;
• Embossing: homemade anti-satic bag; Ranger Embossing Powder, Liquid Platinum;

If you’re curious about how to install a font to use with your Silhouette Portrait, I have a video showing how on my YouTube channel. You can watch it here.

That’s it for for today. Until next time…may the force be with you.
