All Star Smiles by Debra Hensley

Supplies:
12 x 12 Bazzill Night Mist base
9 x 11 ½ Bazzill Lucy's Crab Shack- polka dot bikini paper
11 ½ x ½ Bazzill Lucy's Crab Shack- polka dot bikini paper
7 x 11 Bazzill Firehearts cardstock
6” star cut from Bazzill Whirlpool
Bazzill Lucy's Crab Shack Twinkle pattern paper to cut word SMILE from and circle for inside tart tin
tart tin
orange and white twine
stickers

Layout:
Adhere the 9 x 11 ½ Polka Dot Bikini to the Night Mist base leaving ¼ inch border on top and sides. Adhere 7 x 11 Firehearts cardstock to Polka Dot Bikini leaving ¼ inch at top and sides. Adhere ½ x 11 ½ Polka Dot Bikini strip to bottom of page about ¼ up from the bottom edge to match the other borders. Freehand cut or use a template to make a 6” star from Whirlpool- making sure the center is wide enough for the tart tin to fit over.

Using a Cricut or other cutting machine set to 2 inches, cut the word SMILES in your desired font out of Twinkle paper.

To make Tart Tin embellishment:
Cut a circle from Twinkle to fit into the tart tin. Using white paint, cover over a portion on the bottom half to stamp your sentiment on. ONCE DRY Stamp sentiment in black Memento Ink towards the bottom of the circle. Adhere circle into tin. Using a crop-o-dile, punch two holes- 8 spaces apart- on edge of tin. Insert twine through holes and secure on back with adhesive. Tie two bows out of twine and add to tin where twine exits the holes. Adhere stars to twine in tin to create a banner.

Glittered Stars:
Cut 3 stars out of white card stock covered with Score tape. Remove release sheet and cover adhesive with Glitter and burnish until smooth. Using Copic markers colors B97, YG63, RV25, color each star around the edges and then using the Colorless Blender (0) drag the color down to fill in the star leaving a lighter look in the middle. Be careful not to work the glitter too much or you can dissolve the adhesive.

To complete layout:
Adhere tin to center of Whirlpool star and attach to layout on the left bottom area. Adhere pictures and memorabilia. Adhere the letter for SMILES to the bottom right area between the Polka Dot Bikini pieces. Tie 3 bows from twine and adhere to “l” in SMILES, and top corners of photo or memorabilia in the top right of the layout. Add pennant stickers to top, sides and bottom of layout. To complete, use a Stardust gelly pen or other glitter pen and draw stars on Firehearts cardstock.
