Oh My Stars! Double Die-Cut technique

Can you see the shimmery top of this card? If so, that's the stardust spray. If not because you're distracted by the warping, that's on me. lol! Once again, I got in a hurry to put it together and should have let the stardust spray sit for a hot minute and then it would have been dry. Ah well, it's all good. The focus should be on those delightful double die-cut stars. Yep. You cut with the big die and then remove it and cut with the medium die. You can do this with any nesting die to make frames for sentiments or fun elements for your card, like this one. :)  I forget to do this technique so was glad to be reminded by the a│s designers. I modified it a little but mostly just because I couldn't die cut any more stars. I just couldn't! lol! :)
