Meow-ry Christmas 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 Ornaments to share with you with you using the Christmas Kitty DIGI921 stamp set.

To start, I applied a Super-Adhesive Sheet to cardstock and then cut it with the bottom layer of a Tonic Jeweled Crown Double Detail die.I also cut a piece of Grunge Board and applied it to the back for added stability.

Using a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval, I cut the pre-colored image from the Christmas Kitty DIGI and applied it to the center of the die. On the remaining adhesive, I sprinkled it with Christmas Cheer and used a Glitter Brush to remove excess glitter.

I used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen to give the kitty and the lights some shimmer. The top layer of the Tonic Jeweled Crown Double Detail die was covered with Forest Green and heat embossed.

The top layer of the Tonic Jeweled Crown Double Detail die on this one was covered with Red Apple and heat embossed. I added drops of Nuvo Glitter Accents Fresh Snowfall for texture. Beneath the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, Poppystamps Perfect Pine Needles and Impression Obsession Pine Pair were cut from paper covered with Tear-ific Tape 2”, and then covered with Luau Green and Sparkling Snow glitter.

Sending a Winter Hi 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 featuring the Snowflake Penguin Rubber Bundle 868-913P20.

To make my cards, I adhered Tear-ific Tape ½” to the edges of cardstock and then sprinkled on Sapphire and heat embossed it. I then used Tear-ific Tape 2” to adhere the layers together.

For the next layer, I used a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the large snowflakes from the Snowflake Penguin Rubber Bundle 868-913P20 with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and heat embossed them with Silver Pearl embossing powder. Then I sprinkled Nuvo Shimmer Powder Blue Blitz over cardstock and spritzed it with Nuvo Mica Mist Nebula Blue. I inked the edges of the paper with Nuvo Hybrid Ink Pad Sea Siren Polar Ice and Laguna Bay. I stamped the smaller snowflakes from the Snowflake Penguin Rubber Bundle 868-913P20 and then embossed them with Silver Detail and cut them out with a circle punch.

Using a stencil, I applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste Moonstone for some added shimmer.

Isn't he a cutie??!! I used a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp Dancing Penguin Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and heat embossed it with Black Detail. He was then colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and I then gave his coat and hat some shimmer with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen. Using a Nuvo Glue Pen Large, I sprinkled on White Detail and heat embossed it...I love the look!! For the bell on his hat, I used a Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen and then heat embossed it with Gold Coast.

To make him dance, I put him on a Action Wobble 1 ½”!! The icicles were covered with Sparkling Snow glitter. I used a Glitter Brush to brush off the extra glitter. The sentiment was embossed with White Detail over a strip of paper created the same way as the background with  Nuvo Shimmer Powder Blue Blitz and Nuvo Mica Mist Nebula Blue.

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.

The mountains are an Elizabeth Crafts Skis die. They were embossed and then given a dusting of snow (DecoArt Snow Writer and Sparkle N Sprinkle Crystal Ice glitter).

Real Love Stories Never Have Endings

Happy Sunday!! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! My parents are celebrating their anniversary tomorrow so I made time to visit my craft room to create a card for them :)

For some reason, I had trouble photographing these cards. Not sure why :/ I used papers from Lemoncraft's Tiny Miracles stack.

The frame is a KaiserCraft Circle Vines die. It was heat embossed with Shabby White Frantage. Glittered mesh from Joann was cut with a Memory Box Stitched Circles die and applied behind the frame. A Sue Wilson Pierced Flags die was used for the sentiment from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). It was heat embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle. The heart is from My Creative Time and it was covered with SNS Crystal Ice.

A Sue Wilson Pierced Tag was used in the background, with white twine from DL.ART. The pictures don't do justice to the gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. The ribbon is Chalk White from DL.ART. The hearts along the bottom are a Frantic Stamper Love Accessory die and it was covered in SNS Crystal Ice.

One the inside, I used one of my new Carabella Spring dies. I added the hearts that came from the Frantic Stamper die on the front...they are also glittered with SNS Crystal Ice.

Because I can never just make one card, I made another in the same style :) Once again, it was very hard to photograph this and I don't know why.

The details are pretty much the same except this sentiment is from My Creative Time. The butterfly is a Fiskars punch.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) Frilly and Funkie - What a Mesh (cheesecloth and glittered mesh)
2) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
3) Little Scrap Pieces Show if Off Saturday - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)
