Happy Holidays

Good morning all, it has been a crazy weekend here in Houston!!!  We have had so much rain water almost in my home! 

here this morning with a Christmas Card using the Christmas Spirit Fairy stamp set.  This stamp is only available in digi.  She is really pretty and you get 2 color images and a black and white image which you can color.  Let me show you how my step card came together.

 

To start the project I printed out the background paper using the Winter Greetings digi papers.  The card base was made using this template.

The digi papers panels were then cut and adhered to the card base.

 

 

 

 The pretty fairy was then sized and printed out using the color image.  Small drops of Morning Dew Crystal Drops were added to the dots.  Sparkle was added to the image using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Pinkerbell, Mermaid and Spirited Green glitter.  Small drop of Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops was placed on the center of the poinsettias.

 

.

 

The snowflakes were stamped with Bahama Blue Memento ink using the Crystal Snowflake stamp set.  Mermaid glitter was placed on the snowflake using the small glue pen.  They were placed on the card using form dots.

 

 

A strip of 1/2" Tear-ific Tape was placed on the card front backing removed and glittered using Mermaid glitter.  The sentiment was printed out and punched with a label punch.

Thanks so much for stopping by have a great day and remember...Keep Stamping!

Hope you all are enjoying the blog hop!!  This month's stamp set are just so pretty!  I choose the Teacup Pansies set from my project.  Let's get started on how it came together.

To start my project I stamped my images with black ink and embossed with Clear EP.   The image was stamped a 2nd time and I cut out the flowers they were placed on top of the image using foam dots.  The pansies and cup was colored with copic makers and glitter using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Waterfall, and Sparkling Snow glitter.  A small circle was cut out of sticker paper using Spellbinder's Circle dies and glittered with Waterfall glitter.  The images were all fussy cut out.  The card base was embossed using a Anne Griffin embossing folder.   Using my finger Nuvo's Pure Platinum Mousse was placed on top of the raised areas.  I then came back with the Aquamarine Mousse.  I hope you can see the two colors together they are really pretty. A strip of 1/8" Tear-ific Tape was placed on the edge of the bottom layer and glittered using Hyacinth glitter.

The border piece was die cut using Tonic Moroccan Mosaic Simply Screen dies.  It was die cut from purple cardstock placed on top of sticker paper and the openings were glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  The sentiment was stamped with versamark and embossed using VenusViolet EP.  

The edges of a piece of blue cardstock was inked with versamark and embossed using the new Robin's Egg EP.  This really created a pretty layer from my project.

Small drops of Ebony Black Crystal drops were placed on the cup.  Once the drops were dry the entire cup was covered with Glossy Accents to give a look of glass.  Orange Marmalade Jewel Drops were placed in the center of the flowers.  

The image was then placed on top of the white circle using foam dots.  

The smaller flowers were adhere to the top and bottom of the glittered circle.

Here is a preview of project to come using the stamp sets along with the new digi pack of the pansies!  Hope you will stop back by to see the projects.

Elephant Christmas

Good morning, and happy Wednesday!! This morning I would to share a easel card with you using the new Elephant Christmas digi stamp set.

The image was sized and printed off using the color option.  To add some sparkle to the cute little elephant I used Nuvo's glue pen along with Moon Rise, Sparkling Snow, Spirited Green, Sassy Silver, Fire Engine Red, and Golden Silver glitters.  Along the edges of the card and card base, 1/4 and 1/8 Tear-ific Tape strips were added.  The backing was removed, Fire Engine Red glitter was applied to the card and Golden Silver was applied to the card base.

Crystal Drops were used to embellish the image.  For her toenails, Rhubard Crumble was used.  Small drops of White Crystal Drops were placed on the tree.  Along the edge Honey Gold drops were added.  White Blizzard was used on the ornaments.  Ebony Black dots were placed on the stocking and Ruby Slippers were added to the holly berries.

The bottom panel was embossed using a Anna Griffin embossing folder.  Using my finger Pure Platinum Mousse was applied to the raised areas.  This gave a pretty shimmer to the embossed areas.  Next small drops of Honey Gold Crystal Drops were added to the panel.

The large snowflake was cut using a svg file.  The larger snowflake was inked using versamark, and embossed using Golden Sparkle EP.  The smaller snowflake was inked with versamark and embossed using Sparkle EP.  A large drop of Ruby Slipper Crystal Drop was added to the center of the snowflake.  A smaller drop of White Crystal Drop was added to the larger drop.

Thanks so much for stopping bye, have a wonderful day and remeber....Keep Stamping!!!!

I Thank God

Good morning everyone, today I would like to share a card made with Sparkle N Sprinkle's newly released Nasturtium 1 stamp set.  I used both the rubber and digi stamps on this card.

To start my card base I used Spellbinder's Majestic Labels Twenty Five.  The layers were cut using white and aqua cardstock.  I placed a piece of sticker paper behind the white layer, placed the aqua layer on top and applied Pinkerbell and Aqua Marine glitter to the open areas.  

The flowers were stamped onto the white smaller layer.  A second stamping of the flowers was done using versamark and embossed using Black Detail EP.  

The flowers were colored using Spectrum Aqua.  They were then fussy cut out and placed on top of the 1st image. 

 Small drops of Green Apple Crystal Drops were applied to the centers,  Using the tutorial the small enamel dots were created using White Blizzard Drops and Ultramarine Blue and Alizarin Crimson Color Burst.

Closer look at the enamel drops.

Small butterflies were die cut using Stampin Up Butterfly die.  The edges were inked and small drops of White Crystal Drops were added.

Here is were digi stamps are so great. The sentiment stamp on the rubber set was to big to fit on my banner.  I just re sized the digi to fit my banner printed out and cut the banner.  It was just the perfect finishing touch for my card.

If you would like to have these stamp sets come on over to Sparkle N Sprinkle to see all the newly released stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by have a blessed day and remember....Keep Stamping!!
