Happy Birthday

 

 

Good morning all, hope you are having a wonderful day!!  Today I would like to share a easel card with you using the Roses in My Heart stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I really love this beautiful stamp set and the lovely sentiment.  Let's get going on how this came together

 

To start the easel card  I used Spellbinder's heart dies to cut the base.  The image was then stamped and fussy cut around the heart. 

 

 

 

The image was colored using copic markers.  Sparkle was added using the a glue pen, Purple Fig and Gecko micro fine glitter.  These are new glitters from Sparkle N Sprinkle and they are gorgeous. The sentiment was stamped with distress ink and glitter using the glue pen and Purple Fig glitter.  Small drops of  Violet Galaxy Crystal Drops were placed under the sentiment. 

 

 

 

For the inside of the card a small heart was die cut using a Anna Griffin die from the embossed papers from Tonic Studios.  Small drops of Violet Galaxy Crystal Drops were placed around the heart base and on the flowers of the small heart.  The rose was stamped and fussy cut from the larger image.  Glitter was added to the rose using the glue pen and Purple Fig glitter.

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!!

 Hi all, hope you are loving this month's reveal!!  There are so many beautiful and fun stamp sets as well as the beautiful paper bundle.  I used the digi Dream Catcher Maiden and the Saguaro Desert Landscape Paper Pack for my project.  Let's get started on how this came together, I just love how pretty it is!!

 

 

 

 The sentiment was placed on the paper before I printed it out.  Once printed sparkle was added to the cacti using the Medium Nuvo Glue Pen and Starfire glitter.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops were added.  The background paper was layered onto cardstock and a small line of glue using the Small Nuvo Glue Pen was placed along the edges and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.

 

Using the digi color stamp the cute maiden was sized, printed and cut out using the Silhouette.  I cut a shadow piece using black cardstock to really show off the beauty of this stamp.  Sparkle was added using the Small Glue Pen, Sparkling Snow, Starfire, Waterfall, Evening Glow, Spirited Green, The Beach, Aqua Marine, Hyacinth, and Bubblegum glitter.  The image was placed on the shadow piece using foam dots and then onto the background paper using foam dots.  Feathers were placed behind the image.  Small dots of Ebony Black Crystal Drops were also used on the maiden.

 

 



 

Glue was placed on the word dream using the Small Glue Pen and glittered using Black Suede glitter.

 

I just love how pretty and sparkly this card turned out.  You can really create beautiful projects using the digi stamps and paper.  I hope you will give it a try!!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by, have fun on the blog hop!

 

Your next stop is the very talented Eret.



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!!



If kisses were snowflakes I'd send a blizzard

Good morning all, hope you are have a wonderful week!  Today I'm sharing a cute Christmas card using the digi stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle Milton Catching Snowflakes.  It was just released and is so cute!! To start the card I re sized the image using my Silhouette printed and cut it out.  

The background snowflakes were cut using the Silhouette also.  It was placed on top of a piece of sticker paper pressed down well and then I covered the open areas with Shimmering Sea glitter.  Pearls were placed on the centers of the snowflakes.

To add sparkle to Milton, I used a glue pen, Aqua Marine, Fairy Tale Lavender, Rosy Red, Celestial, Ocean, glitter.

The sentiment was printed out and punched using a 2" Fisker Circle Punch.  The edges were inked and a small drop of dimensional glue was placed at the top of the circle and covered with Shimmering Sea glitter.

Snowflakes were cut using the Silhouette.  The edges of the top snowflake was inked and placed on top of the bottom snowflake using a foam dot.  Caribbean Ocean Crystal Drops were used for the center of the snowflake.  The edges of the snowflake was glittered using brushable glue and Waterfall glitter.

The edges of the card was glittered using Sassy Silver glitter and a glue pen.

Hope you have enjoyed my card, be sure to stop by Sparkle N Sprinkle to see all these beautiful products!

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

Friends are Flowers

Good morning, well summer is finally off to a sunny morning!!!  We have had so much rain here in Houston, TX and I love seeing the sunshine!!  Today I would like to share a card with you using the newly release Country Flower stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Demo Donna has a wonderful video tutorial using the stamp set, be sure to check it out!!

To start my card I needed to create my background using Want 2 Scrap Brick Wall stencil and Dreamweaver Embossing Paste. While the paste was still wet I dusted it lightly with Crystal Ice glitter.   Once the paste was dry the edge was cut to create a space for my sentiment.  The edges were glittered using Aqua Marine and Bubblegum glitter along with a glue pen.

Closer look at the pretty sparkly background!  To have the brads coordinate with my project I used this tutorial along with Lagoon Blue EP.  I love to use this technique!!

 My image was stamped with versamark on to watercolor paper and embossed using Black Detail EP. Using a small paint brush, gelatos and a small amount of water my image was colored.  This is the first time I have used my gelatos to color small areas and I really love how it turned out.   

My sweet little butterflies were die cut using a Stampin Up die.  Aqua Marine glitter was used for the pretty sparkle and small dots of White Crystal Drops were placed in the middle.  The sentiment was stamped with versamark and embossed using Black Detail EP.  To finish off my card I used Demo Donna's tutorial- (May's Video Kit) to create the enamel drops.  I did change my up a bit, as I did not have the Morning Dew Drops which die clear.  Instead I used White Blizzard Glitter Drops and it worked just great.  It gives the drops a bit of sparkle which I was very pleased with.  Give this technique a try, you will love it!!  

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

Well hope you are having a great time on the blog hop!!  The stamps for this month are just so pretty I really love them all.  I decided to create a circle step card for my card design and only used the sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set.  

Spellbinder's Fancy Circle die was used for the sentiment.  It was inked around the edges using distress ink.  The cute little butterflies were cut from some Grapic 45 paper and glittered using a glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.

The hydrangea were die cut using Spellbinder's die.  They were inked on the edges and small drops of Green Apple Crystal Drops were placed in the center.  The leaves were inked and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  Using Demo Donna's video tutorial the small blue enamel dots were created and placed around the sentiment.  This is a really fun technique to create some really pretty embellishment for your projects. 

Small single flowers were used from the hydrangea and placed along the bottom .  

Along the two edges I placed a strip of Mon Ami Gabby light blue diamond mesh.

Here is a side view of the completed card.  I really loved how pretty it turned out!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have fun and enjoy all the wonderful project by our talented designers!!

The next stop on our blog hop is ANNE.

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!!
