Hope you all are having fun on the blog hop and enjoying all the new beautiful stamp sets.  There were so many to choose from this month!!!  For my card I used the Spring Bunny both rubber and digital sets to create my diorama card.  Lets get started on how it came together.




To start I cut all the piece of cardstock and scored them to create the box.  Here is a quick tutorial all the dimension and score lines.  Once the cardstock was cut and scored, the die cut was made in the center of the blue and pink cardstock.  A frame was die cut from sticker paper and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.



Next the bunny was stamped and colored using Tombow markers.  The images was then fussy cut out and adhered to the back panel of the card. Drops of Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops were applied to the flowers.  Small clouds were fuzzy cut out using sticker paper and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  They were placed on the background panel using foam dots.  The digital stamp set was used for the larger eggs.  They were resized, printed out and colored using copic makers.  They were fussy cut and placed on the 2nd panel of the card.


The smaller eggs were stamped with the rubber stamp onto cardstock that had been covered with a piece of 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape backing removed and glittered with Cloud Nine glitter.  They were then colored using Tombow markers.  I wasn't sure how well the Tombow markers would color on top of the glitter but it worked very well and looked so pretty.  Small drops of White Crystal Drops and Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops were placed on the eggs.  They were then placed on the front panel of the card once it had been all put together.



The right side was completed repeating the steps.  Rhubard Crumble Crystal drops were used on the yellow egg.  Small drops of Rhubarb Crumble were placed around the eggs on both sides.


For the front of the card grass was die cut using sticker paper and Elizabeth Craft Outdoor Edges.  The paper was glittered using Spirited Green glitter.  The sentiment was stamped on top using Memento Black Ink.  Small flowers were die cut using a Spellbinder's die placing small Green Apple Crystal Drops in the centers.


For the side panels strips of the blue cardstock were cut and embossed using a Anna Griffin embossing folder.  Pure Platinum Mousse was applied to the raised areas using my finger tool.  This gave a really pretty shimmer to the end panels.  

Here is a sneak peek of projects to come using the new stamp sets.  Hope you will come back by to see all the details!!!

Christmas Tag Box


Good afternoon all, hope you are having a blessed day!!  I would like to share one last project using the Christmas Tag #2 from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  


Using the image from the Christmas Tag #2,  Heartfelt Creations Snowflake and Tag dies I made a small box and tags for this project.  Three tags were created using the dies and the snowflake image from the stamp set.  The tree is also die cut from a Heartfelt Creations die cut and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  The snowflake image was stamped with Peacock Feathers ink and glittered using Nuvo Small Glue Pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  The snowflakes were die cut from sticker paper and glittered using Sparkling Snow and Waterfall glitter.  Small drops of White Crystal Drops and Silver Moondust Crystal Drops were also used.


The images was stamped with versamark and embossed using Tinsel EP.  The image was then colored using copic markers and die cut using Spellbinder's Circle die.  The large snowflake was die cut using Heartfelt Creations die from sticker paper and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  


The back of the tags were stamped using Peacock Feathers and the snowflakes were stamped using stamps from the Snow One Like You stamp set.

Good morning everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!  Today I would like to share a Christmas tag with you using the new Christmas Tag #2 stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  It was paired with Snow One Like You stamp set also from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  




To start the tag I embossed a piece of blue cardstock with a Anna Griffin embossing folder and lightly rubbed the raised areas with Nuvo Pure Platinum mousse.  This gives such a pretty shimmer to the embossed areas.  Small drops of White Crystal Drops were placed on the center of the snowflakes.  Using Elizabeth Craft's Outdoor Edges dies the snowbanks were created.  The top edges where inked and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.


The cute little snowman from Snow One Like You was stamped and colored using copic markers.  Waterfall glitter was added to the image using Nuvo small glue pen.  The large snowflake is a svg file cut using the Silhouette.  Mother of Pearl mousse was applied to the larger snowflake.  The smaller was glittered using brushable glue and Sparkling Snow glitter.  A large drop of Moondust Crystal Drop was placed in the center.  


The image from the Christmas Tag #2 was stamped colored with copic markers and glittered using Nuvo small glue pen along with Waterfall and Silver Dreams glitter.  It was die cut using Spellbinder's Circle die.  The small circle was placed inside the larger one using a foam dot.  A pull ribbon bow was added to the top.

Festive Lantern


Good morning all, I would like to share a festive card with you using the new Festive Lantern stamp set!!

Festive Lantern

To start my card I used the new glimmer paste to create background papers.  Using the Emerald Green on green cardstock, Moonstone on white cardstock and Garnet Red along with a stencil on white cardstock the layers for my card were created and allowed to dry overnight.  These glimmer paste are so beautiful and can be used in some many different ways.  I just love how beautiful they are using a stencil.

Festive Lantern

The poinsettia were stamped onto the cardstock (sorry I forgot to take a picture) and stamped a second time fussy cut out and used as a mask.  The lantern was then stamped on top of the poinsettia mask.
The lantern was colored using copic markers.  To create the look of glass on the lantern dimensional glue was added to the glass panes and allowed to dry.  Dimensional glue dries clear looking like glass. Evening GlowWaterfall, Golden Silver, Sassy Silver and Sparkling Snow glitter was used on the candle.

Festive Lantern

The poinsettia were colored using copic markers and Honey Gold Crystal Drops were applied to the centers.  To applied the Gliding Flakes to the edges of the panels I used the large Nuvo Glue Pen.  I placed 3 small dots on the top corner using a green maker and then placed drops of Morning Dew Crystal Drops on top.  Using a marker with the clear drops really make for pretty embellishments.

Festive Lantern

A stencil was placed on top of the white cardstock, and Garnet Red Glimmer Paste was applied using a palette knife.  I hope you can see all the beautiful shimmer of this paste, it is gorgeous.

Festive Lantern

Using the glimmer paste on the cardstock created beautiful shimmery paper and layers for my festive card.

I hope you have enjoyed my card as much as I did making it!!

Winter Blue Jay


Good morning all, hope you are having a great day!!!  Today I would like to share with you a card I made using the new Winter Blue Jay stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  It is a really beautiful set and would make pretty winter cards.



To start my card background I covered white cardstock with Moonstone Glimmer Paste and let dry.  Once dry I embossed it using the Stampin Up Woodland embossing folder.  Using a sponge dauber and some brown ink the birch trees were lightly inked.  The trees were slightly highlighted using a small grey pen .  This created a very shimmery background for my blue jay. A strip of 1/4" Tear-ific Tape was placed along the edges of the card base and glittered using Fascination glitter.
 



The image was stamped with black ink and colored with copic markers.  Sparkle was added to the edges using the Large Nuvo Glue Pen and Fascination glitter. A small paper rose was added to the top along with some feathers.  Using the large glue pen along the edges of the petals Sparkling Snow glitter was applied.  Small drops of Morning Dew Crystal Drops were added to the flower petals.  Sparkle was added to the blue jay using the small Nuvo Glue Pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.


Here is a closer look at the beautiful background.  You must try the new glimmer paste from SNS they make beautiful shimmery background paper.  

Hope you have enjoyed my card, and the new stamp set from SNS.  You can find a video from Demo Donna using the stamp HERE, she always has wonderful idea for you!!
