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.

To create the sparkly edges of the card base I placed strips of 1/8" Tear-ific Tape along the edges removed the backing and glittered using BurgundyGlitz and ParisianMist.  For the card background a lattice frame was die cut from the middle using a Anna Griffin die.  The background layer was placed on top of a piece of sticker paper which was glittered using Cloud Nine glitter.  The frame was then adhered to the opening using foam dots.

It was then covered with glue using the Nuvo Large Glue pen and let dry slightly.  Nuvo Gilding Cooper Flakes were placed on top and rubbed lightly.  



Using a stiff brushes the excess flakes were brushed away.  I then re stamped the pot with StazOn black ink on top of the flakes.


Using a piece of Super Adhesive Sheet placed on top of white cardstock covered with Cloud Nine glitter the flowers were stamped with black ink.  The images was then colored using copic markers.  They were then fussy cut out and placed behind the flower pots.  A small pull ribbon bow was added to the pot along with a pearl.  Small drops of Orange Marmalade Jewel Drops were added to the flowers.  You can find a tutorial HERE on how to color on glitter.

Happy St. Patrick's Day


Good morning everyone, the weekend is almost here and my oldest grandson will be here for a visit.  It's always fun when he visits!!!  Today I would like to share a St. Paddy's Day card with you using the new digi Edward the Elephant #1 stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.



To start my project I needed to create the background.  I didn't have a clover stencil so I looked at my Silhouette files and found one cut it out and create my own stencil.  It was then placed and tape on top of my cardstock and covered with Emerald Green Glimmer Paste from Nuvo.



Use a palette knife and cover the stencil with the glimmer paste. Cover the entire stencil with the glimmer paste.  Once finished remove the stencil and allow to dry.


The end results is so beautiful and can be done with any stencil and paste.


Next I resized and printed out Edward using the color version of the stamp set.  This was cut out using my Silhouette.  Edward needed a bit of sparkle and that was added using the new Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Spirited Green, Sparkling Snow, Waterfall, and Evening Glow glitter. Small drops of Pale Gold Crystal Drops were added to the background and sentiment.  


Glitter was added to the sentiment using the glue pen and Aztec Gold glitter.  A strip of 1/8" Tear-ific Tape was placed around the card base layer and glittered using the Aztec Gold glitter.

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

Right Beside You

Good morning everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day.  Today I would like to share a project using the new Right Beside You stamp set.  I just love this set, it makes me think of my twin grand babies, they love to swing!!  Let get started on how this was created.
 


To start the project the background needed to be created.  I used distress inks to create this look,  A circle mask was used for the sun.  Next the image of the tree was stamped with black ink and embossed with Sparkle EP.   The sentiment was stamped with black ink.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops were placed on the top and bottom of the sentiment.  These are a very pretty translucent color and perfect for all your embellishments.  A strip of 1/4" Tear-ific tape was placed on the layer of cardstock and glittered using Silver Dreams.   The top right corner was rolled down and a large drop of White Crystal Drop was placed on the corner with a smaller drop of Caribbean Ocean Crystal Drop on top of the white drop.

 
The cute little image of the children was then stamped and the steps were repeated.  Using the small Nuvo Glue Pen on the tree a bit of sparkle was added using Champagne glitter. 

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

You Crack Me Up


Good morning all and Happy New Year!!!  I would like to share a cute Easter card with you today using the new Easter Chicky stamp set.  I choose to use the digi version of this stamp set for my card.


To create my card base I used Spellbinder's Radiant Rectangle dies.  For the white and yellow background pieces they were cut using sticker paper, glittered with Sparkling Snow and Sunny Daze.  The images were then resized and printed out.  I did print 2 of the row of flowers and cut all of them out using my Silhouette.  Sparkle was added to all of the images using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  Small drops of Dandelion and Green Apple Crystal Drops were added to the flowers.


The 2nd row of flowers were placed on top of the chick using foam dots. A 2nd flower for the top of the egg shell was printed, cut out and placed on top of the egg using foam dots.  Using the small glue pen along the edges of the sentiment, Hyacinth glitter was added.  I really love this cute stamp it will be perfect for your Easter cards.
