Happy Holidays

Good morning all, wishing each one of you a Happy Thanksgiving!! This morning bring you another project using the sweet Snowman Couple digi stamp set that was just released.  They are so cute and great for your holiday cards.  Let me show you how it came together.
 
 
 
The card base was made using the Happy Holiday Header Die from Tonic Studios.  I just love these dies they give your project a little something extra.  To jazz up my card I placed a piece of white cardstock behind the holiday openings and glittered using the Small Glue Pen , Fire Engine Red, Sparkling Snow, Mermaid and The Beach glitter.  To the word happy Sassy Silver was added to the letters using the small glue pen.
 
 
The sweet couple was printed using the color digi stamp and cut using the Silhouette.  Sparkle was added to them using the small glue pen, Fire Engine Red, Sparkling Snow glitter.  Small drops of Ebony Black Crystal Drops were added to the buttons.  Shaved Ice was placed along the bottom of the couple using the Deluxe Adhesive from Nuvo. 
 
 
The glittery background was created using the small glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops were also added to the background.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by have a Happy Thanksgiving and remember......Keep Stamping!!

Hope your have started the blog hop by now, there are some great projects on each of the ladies blog!!  For my project I used the cute Snowman Couple, new dies from Sheena Douglas and of course GLITTER!!  Let me show you how to make this sweet card prefect for Christmas!
 
 
The cute little snowman couple were stamped using the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform with StazOn ink and color using the Aqua Markers from Tonic.  Once dry sparkle was added to the couple using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Spirited Green, Fire Engine Red, Sparkling Snow glitter.  Small drops Ebony Black Crystal Drops were added to the buttons. 
 
 
 
Now it was on to making my winter scene for this cute couple.  Using the new die from Sheena Douglas the tree frame was die cut from white cardstock and shimmer added using a small sponge dauber and Mother of Pearl Nuvo Mousse.  The shimmer on the tree branches is so pretty!!  A little sparkle was added to the raised embossed markings on the branches using the small glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  Along the bottom of the frame Sparkling Snow glitter was added using the Medium Nuvo Glue Pen. The couple was then glued inside the bottom of the frame using the Deluxe Adhesive from Nuvo.
 
 
 
 
The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut around.  The edges were inked with distress ink and a little sparkle was added to the music notes using the small glue pen and Black Suede glitter.
 
 
 

 

The trees were die cut using the dies from Sheena Douglass.  They were inked with Safari Green Hybrid Ink from Nuvo.  Using the small glue pen a little Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the trees branches.  This really gave the trees a bit of twinkle!  The trees were adhered to the card base and the frame was placed on top of the trees to create a cute winter scene for this cute couple. 
 
I hope you have enjoyed my project, I had a lot of fun making it!!

Happy Hopping!


Hope you all are having fun with all the new stamp sets and enjoying the hop with all the beautiful project.  I choose to use the Victorian Camille at Christmas 864 for my project.  I had just received the Merry Christmas Header Die Set from Tonic and thought that would be a perfect choice for the beautiful image.  So lets get started on all the details!
 
 
 
 
To start my card I needed to make the background paper and choose the Lacey Glitter technique.  Using sticker paper, lace, Mermaid and Sassy Silver glitter the pretty sparkly background was created. The lace was placed on top of the sticky side of the sticker paper and covered with Mermaid glitter.  The glitter was burnish well with my finger and the access glitter was brushed off.  The sticker paper was then pulled away from the lace and I was left with a pretty blue lace background.  Next the remaining sticky areas were covered with Sassy Silver glitter, burnish well and brushed off to give me a beautiful background. 
 
 
I hope you can see all the beautiful sparkle!
 
 
The image was then printed using the color stamp.  Sparkle was added using the Small Nuvo Glue Pen, Sparkling Snow, Spirited Green, Evening Glow, Waterfall and Fire Engine Red glitter.  Small drops of White Blizzard Glitter drops were placed around this pretty girl along with small snowflakes punched using a Fisker punch.  Small drops of Ruby Slipper Glitter drops were placed on the berries.
 
 
The card base was die cut and die cut a second time using blue cardstock to created a shadow.  The background paper was adhered to the card front and the image was placed on top using foam tape.
 
 
The bottom half was die cut and a piece of blue cardstock placed behind the wording.  Using the small glue pen and Sparking Snow glitter for a little sparkle on the snowflakes.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops were added.  A ribbon was created using the Lacey Background technique.  You can see a tutorial here on how to create this look with the Merry Christmas Header Fold Die Set. 
 
I hope you have a fun time on the blog hop, be sure to stop by all of the very talented designers and see their beautiful project!!

 The next stop on the SNS Blog Hop is ANNE!!

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.

Warm Wishes

Good morning all and thanks for stopping by!!  Today I would like to share a cute Christmas card using the new Crystal Snowflake stamp set along with the Eskimo Kisses stamp all from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Come on along for all the details on how to make this sweet card.




To start my card I needed to create the background.  To do this a piece of white cardstock was stamped with versamark using the small snowflake from the Crystal Snowflake stamp set.  The snowflakes were heat embossed using White Spark EP.  Next the cardstock was ink using Memento  Bahama Blue and a sponge.  The embossed areas resisted the ink and created a pretty soft background.
 



 Here is a closer look at the background paper.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops were placed in the center of each snowflake.
 
 
 
Next the cute little girl and snowman was printed using the color digi image from the Eskimo Kisses stamp set.  Sparkle was added using the Small Nuvo Glue Pen, Fascination, Sparkling Snow and Eggplant glitter.  The image was cut out using the Silhouette and  placed on the card front using foam dots.
 
 
The small snowflake from the Crystal Snowflake stamp set was stamped with versamark and embossed with White Spark EP.  The snowflake was fussy cut out and placed on the card using foam dots.  A small pearl was placed in the center.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day and remember......Keep Stamping!!!

Christmas

 
Good morning everyone, hope you are having a wonderful week so far!! I would like to share a shadowbox card for you using the new Spirit of Christmas Poinsettias stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I did use the colored digi stamp for this project.  Let me show you how this project came together.
 
 
 


To start create the shadowbox I started with a piece of white cardstock 8.25 x 11 which was cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" twice.  One piece was embossed around the edges using the Crystal Snowflake stamp set, versamark and Golden Sparkle EP. Small drops of Ruby Slipper Glitter Drops were placed in the center of the snowflakes. Each end of both panels were scored at 1/2" and 1".  The ends were valley folded to create the card.  This really create a beautiful card. 


The opening was cut in the middle of the panel using the Tonic Eastern Oyster Layering Dies.  It was cut a second time using the same die, one die smaller and sticker paper to create the frame.  The backing was removed from the sticker paper and glittered using Fire Engine Red glitter. 



The poinsettias were sized and cut out using the colored stamp.  Sparkle was added using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen and Spirited Green glitter.  Small drops of Morning Dew Crystal Drops were placed in the center of each flower.  A small pull ribbon was added. 


The sentiment was re sized and printed onto the back panel.

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