This is How I Roll for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Tuesday!! 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 The Old Tractor and the The Old Tractor DIGI set for the sentiment.

For the base of the card, I used Tear-ific Tape ½” around the edges of cardstock, and then covered it with Black Diamonds glitter.

On the next layer, I used Tear-ific Tape 2” around the edges and then heat embossed it with Japanese Lacquer.

Using my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, I stamped the tractor with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then heat embossed it with Black Detail embossing powder before coloring. I then gave it a bit of sparkle with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Midas Touch Glitter Gloss Pen. The cloudy sky and grass were colored with Nuvo Hybrid Ink Pads. I then cut it out with a Tonic Jasmine Sunset Layering Die.

The sentiment is from the The Old Tractor DIGI set. I inked around the edges with Nuvo Hybrid Ink Pad Sunset Serenade Rich Rosewood.

I was thinking of my Dad when I made these cards...he has a tractor similar to the image :)

A Season of Cheer 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 Christmas cards to share with you today featuring the new Happy Holidays stamp set.

For these cards, I started by adhering Tear-ific Tape ½” to heavyweight cardstock and then heat embossing it with Japanese Lacquer embossing powder.

For my winter-themed card, I used Elizabeth Craft Skis die for the mountains. I applied Super-Adhesive Sheets to cardstock and cut the mountains, and then covered them with Diamond Dust glitter for amazing sparkle.

Here's a close-up of the gorgeous Diamond Dust. The trees are a Tim Holtz Tree Line die, also covered with Super-Adhesive Sheets and then covered with Victorian Christmas glitter. The snowflakes are Impression Obsession dies, and they were brushed with Brushable Glue and then covered with Sparkly Snow glitter. A drop of Nuvo Crystal Drops Red Berry was used in the center of the snowflake.

The gorgeous sentiment was stamped with a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then embossed with Winter Berry embossing powder. It was then cut out with a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval die.

The flowers were made with foamiran from Wild Orchid Crafts and shaped with Tonic Floral Crafters Tool. The ribbon is from DL.ART.

To create the red berries, I used beads and hot-glued them to the posts. Once they dried, I snipped off the tops and then dipped them into Brushable Glue.

I then covered them with Gypsy Red glitter and popped them into Styrofoam to dry.

Merry and Bright for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog and I have a couple of cards to share with you featuring the New Christmas Baubles stamp set.

On the base of the card, I applied Tear-ific Tape ½” to the edges and then heat embossed it with Gold Detail embossing powder. For the next layer, I again covered it with Tear-ific Tape ½” and then covered it with Gypsy Red glitter.

For the next layer, after using a Anti Static Bag over the surface of the cardstock, I used a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the holly image from the Christmas Baubles set several times with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then heat embossed it with Gold Detail embossing powder. I also embossed the sentiment with Gold Detail embossing powder. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink to highlight the embossing.

The berries are Nuvo Crystal Drops Red Berry.

For the poinsettia, I covered a Wild Orchid Crafts poinsettia with Brushable Glue and then covered it with Starfire glitter. Isn't the sparkle amazing??!!

The ornament was stamped with a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform with a Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then heat embossed it with Gold Detail. It was then colored with watercolors and once dry, I used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen to give it shimmer. I then used Nuvo Crystal Drops SimplyWhite for dimension, and while it was wet, I sprinkled it with Cloud Nine glitter for some added sparkle. Using Tonic Spring-Cut Fine Tip Detail Scissors 6.5”, I cut the ornament out and popped it up with foam tape for dimension.
