Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my You’re Stellar Wobble Card using the Stargazing Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! This Collection includes the Reach for the Stars Stamp Set, Reach for the Stars Dies and Stargazing 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper.

The Details of My Card

My card was for a swap, and I decided to make a fun faux centre-step card to allow enough room for the astronaut and a planet to fit on my centre panel. I used the measurements from my faux centre-step template which I have included at the end of this post.

When I saw this Suite in the Annual Catty, I knew that I wanted to make a wobble card as well! They are so fun and interactive! I bought the Mini Action Wobble on Amazon.ca, but you could easily make your own by using a piece of bendable wire and wrap it around a pencil. Then, secure one end to your wobble piece and the other end to the card base.

Since I made this card for a swap, I needed several planets, but only a couple fit the planet die and the rings die. I really wanted to use the ring die with silver foil paper! I thought it would add some cosmic shimmer along with the die cut stars! So, I fudged it. Tip: if you die cut the larger planets, make sure that the shadow is showing in the centre of the die. This gives it a realistic 3D look.

I decided to stamp my astronaut and sentiment in Basic Gray since there was already a lot of black to my card. Besides, it was a good alternative to colouring the astronaut since I would have used Smoky Slate to colour his shadows and left most of him white anyways. So, this did it for me!

Tip: to figure out where to place glue for the centre panel, I used my grid paper a pencil to mark the section.

The only embellishments were three Classic Matte Dots in each colour tying in my colour scheme. Of course, they had to be in a row showing my Star Trekkie side of me! Lol!

I made another card as well for a friend. This time I added the retired Shimmery Crystal Effects to the astronaut’s helmet. So fun!
