Naughty or Nice!!

It's Christmas in July!!  Sparkle N Sprinkle's July Reveal was all about Christmas, with some pretty new stamp sets.  Here is a card using the Christmas Goose set.  

I stamped the goose with black ink and colored with copic markers.  He was fussy cut out, and then I applied dimensional glue to his body and face.  Twinkling Snow flocking was applied to the body and face.  For the lights I applied a drop of dimensional glue and glittered with Fire Engine Red, Orange Surprise, Daisy, Purple Dust, Elegant Emerald and Ocean glitter.  

A glue pen was used on the string of  lights, socks and hat for more sparkle using Spirited Green and Cyclamen glitter.

The border was cut using Anna Griffin's border die and embossing folder.  I use a glue pen to add glitter to the snowflakes and glittered using Silver Dreams glitter.  Two strips of cardstock was cut and 1/8" Tear-ific Tape was placed on  one strip and glittered using Elegant Emerald glitter.  The second strip I placed a piece of 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and glittered with Fire Engine Red glitter.  This really created a beautiful border strip for my silly goose.

The sentiemnt was stamped on top of the background paper using black ink.  I used three small drops of dimensional glue covered them with Fire Engine Red glitter for sparkly accents.

For the background panel, I used a piece of super adhesive sheet placed on a piece of cardstock.  Removed the protective backing and covered it with Twinkling Snow flocking.  The panel was then embossed using Anna Griffin's snowflake embossing folder.  Here you will find a tutorial on how to create this look.

The snowflake was die cut and glittered with brushable glue and Silver Dream glitter.

Hope you have enjoyed my card, be sure to check out all the new stamp sets from Sparkle N Sprinkle's July Release.

There Is Beauty In Simple Things

Good morning everyone, today I would like to share a card with you using the newly released Spring Window stamp set.  Hope you all are enjoying some spring weather!! 

To create the background for this card I used an embossing folder, super adhesive sheet and Mimosa flocking.  First place the adhesive sheet on top of your cardstock, remove the backing and cover with the flocking.  Remove all the excessive flocking with a brush, then run your flocked cardstock through the embossing folder.  This really makes a beautiful background piece. 

The image was stamped with versamark and embossed using Teddy Brown EP.  I colored my image using Prisma Watercolor pencils.  A little sparkle was added using a glue pen and Spirited Green,  Orchid, Starfire and Waterfall glitter.

The sentiment was stamped with brown ink.  For the corner borders they were die cut and glittered using brushable glue and Sparkling Snow glitter.  

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

Last month the winner came from my blog.  Wonder which Designer contains the Grand Prize winner this month?

This month I worked with the digital version of the Christmas Dove.  I sized it a little larger, that's the fun of using digital you can make it any size.  

The images was printed twice and the doves were cut out of one of them and flocked using  Twinkling Clouds.   Once dry they were placed on top of the colored image with pop dots.  The sentiment was printed slightly bigger as well.

The glittery corners are cut using Anne Griffin die and glittered using brushable glue and Golden Silver glitter.  The edges of the card are glittered using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and Fire Engine Red glitter.

The background paper is embossed using the new Christmas embossing folders from Anne Griffin.  

Using the same digital stamps I created a snow globe shaker card with a smaller image.

The image was printed and colored using copic makers.  I used Spellbinder Circle Dies to create my globe. Punched snowflakes for inside the globe along with Diamond Dust glitter for the shaker effect. 

The background is the same Anne Griffin snowflake embossing folder.  The sentiment was printed and added to the bottom of the globe.

The sparkle around the globe is Fire Engine Red and Golden Silver glitter.  The pretty snowflake was cut and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.

For the edges of the card I used 1/8" Tear-ific Tape and Fire Engine Red glitter and 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and Pine Grove tinsel glitter.  The look is so pretty!!

By using digital stamps I was able to create two different sizes images with the same stamp. 

If you would like all the details on these two cards please visit my GALLERY.

Hope you are enjoying all the beautiful project by our amazing Design Team.  Good luck to you all!!
