Discover Beauty Every Day 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 card to share with you today featuring the new Colorful Cosmos Blooms DIGI899 stamp set.

For this card, I placed Super-Adhesive Sheets over two Tonic Mixed Edge Oval dies. On the bottom one, I sprinkled Frosted Juniper embossing powder and on the top I used Cotton Candy embossing powder and heat embossed them. I printed out the pre-colored digi from the Colorful Cosmos Blooms stamp set and die cut it with a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval. The edges of the oval were inked with Pink Sherbet from Nuvo Diamond Hybrid Ink Pad Rose Garden. I added Nuvo Crystal Drops Party Pink.

I printed out a slightly larger version of the flower, fussy cut it and popped it up for dimension. I used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Midas Touch Glitter Gloss Pen for shimmer and shine.

I used a Karen Burniston Twisted Pop-Up die for the inside.

On the pop-up panels, I used Tear-ific Tape 2” and then covered them with Forest Green embossing powder. The next layer was covered with Luau Green glitter. The flower panels were adhered with Tear-ific Tape ½” and the edges were inked with Dried Oregano from Nuvo Diamond Hybrid Ink Pad Rose Garden.

On the banner, I used Tangerine and Sugar Plum gliter and Golden Sparkle and Cotton Candy embossing powder.

A Tonic Jasmine Sunset Layering Die was covered with a Stampendous Moroccan Mesh Stencil and then spritzed with Nuvo Mica Mist Fresh Pear. The sentiment was cut out with a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval and the edges were inked with Dried Oregano from Nuvo Diamond Hybrid Ink Pad Rose Garden.

Kindness is Always Beautiful 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 today featuring the newly released Bearded Iris stamp set.

SNS is starting something new this month. Instead of a traditional blog hop, the designers will begin showcasing the new stamp sets on the 5th of each month, and a winner of a $20 gift certificate to shop at SNS will be chosen at the end of each month. The winner will be chosen from comments left on both the SNS Blog and a mystery designer's blog.

For these cards, I used the new Bearded Iris 889 stamp set. Using a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform (1707E), I applied Versamark Embossing Ink Pad (VM001) to the stamp, and then heat embossed it with Black Detail (EP171) embossing powder. Next, I applied Super Adhesive Sheets (SAS02) to cardstock and cut it with the Tonic Double Detail Jewelled Crown (1143E) die. It was then covered with Crystal Ice (G1058) glitter. A Nuvo Crystal Drop SimplyWhite (651N) was added. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the ribbon is from DL.ART.

For the corners, I used the same technique, applying Super Adhesive Sheets (SAS02) to cardstock and cutting it with Tonic Double Detail Jewelled Crown (1143E) dies. This time, I heat embossed them with Super Thick White (EP355) embossing powder. I love the texture!!

I colored the Bearded Iris 889 with watercolor paints and then I went over it with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen (888N) for sparkle. Using Tonic Spring-Cut Fine Tip Detail Scissors 6.5” (404), I cut around the bloom and popped it up for dimension.

I absolutely love the Glitter Stencil Background Technique Demo Donna showcased in the video HERE and had to try it. First, I applied Sticker Paper (99558) to cardstock and cut it with Tonic Mixed Edge Oval (1456E) die. Then I ran a bar of Hawaiian Coconut Oil Soap (SOAP) over the back of a Stampendous Moroccan Mesh Metal Stencil (FMS4086) so it wouldn't stick to the sticker paper. Then I placed it on the sticky paper and applied Sugar Plum (G1096), Lacy Lilac (G1033), and  Purple Fig (GM2047) glitters. The next step is to peel off the stencil, which comes off easily since the Hawaiian soap was applied, and then cover the remaining sticky paper with Crystal Ice (G1058). I encourage you to try this technique...it's addicting!!

A Taylored Expressions Banner Die was cut with vellum, and the using Versamark Embossing Ink Pad (VM001), the sentiment was stamped and embossed with Gold Detail (EP168) embossing powder.

Be sure to leave a comment both here and then head on over to the SNS Blog and leave a comment there as well for your chance to win a $20 gift card to SNS!! One lucky winner will be chosen from one of the Designers' posts on the last day of each month!! There will be new projects on the SNS Blog every day to increase your chances of winning!!

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