A Big Birthday Wish for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a project to share with you featuring the new A Big Birthday Wish 931 stamp set. I'm very sad to say this will be my last post with Sparkle N Sprinkle. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last year using the amazing glitters, embossing powders and so many other items SNS carries. Though I'm stepping away, I will forever be one of SNS's biggest fans (and customer)!!

The papers I used to make the cards are from Lemoncraft, available in my ETSY store HERE.

For the base of the card, I used Tonic Verso Gothic Border Square dies. The bottom layer was cut with Super-Adhesive Sheets and then covered with Ballerina glitter. Isn't the pink sparkle pretty :)

The next layer is a Tonic Layering Basics Sunray Venus die, followed by a Prima Doily die cut with a Super-Adhesive Sheets and covered with Cloud Nine glitter. The next layer is a Tonic Simplicity Verso Love Arch Square die.

After dusting vellum with a Anti Static Bag, I used a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the birthday sentiment with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then heat embossed it with Black Detail. Happy was heat embossed with White Detail.

The butterfly from the Violets for You stamp set was stamped on vellum and heat embossed with Black Detail. I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the back of the butterfly and then used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen on the front for sparkle.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Puppy Love for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a couple of cards to share with you today featuring the new Puppy Love DIGI3146M digital stamp set.

After applying Super-Adhesive Sheets to cardstock, I cut out the Tonic Simplicity Verso Love Arch Square.

The next layer was covered with Crystal Ice glitter. On the next one, I used a Sizziz 3D heart embossing folder and then applied Nuvo Embellishment Mousse Toasted Almond over the hearts. A coat of DecoArt Crackle Glaze went on next and when it dried and cracked, I added white paint to highlight the cracks.

I used a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval to cut out the digital image. The edges were brushed with Nuvo Glue Pen Large and then heat embossed with Princess Rose. Using a Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen, I added Pink Spirit Sparkle N Soft to the balloons.
