For my cards, I used papers from Mintay by Karola's Secret Place stack.

I used a Jeanine's Art Landscape Square to showcase the image. I also used a Memory Box Stitched Squares to cut the bottom green square.

Tucked under the frame is a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklet die. Celebrate is a Memory Box Celebrate Jotted Script die, and the top layer was covered with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Crystal Ice glitter.

Tucked under the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are Penny Black Little Branch, Penny Black Airy, Frantic Stamper Assorted Foliage, and Paper Rose Leaf 1 dies, along with ribbon from DL.ART.

Scrapy Land Challenge #105 ~ Anything Goes

Hello, everyone and happy first Wednesday of 2019!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is as always, Anything Goes Using a Brand of Die Scrapy Land Carries...there are over 55 to choose from!! If you play along, you could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land.

I have some last Christmas cards to share with you today. When I saw the Poppystamps Nativity Scene Sidekick Frame and Stencil in the Scrapy Land Shop, I couldn't wait to use it.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxides to color the backgrounds. Using the stencil, I placed it over the panel and added the rays.

I then splattered diluted white paint on to the panels to resemble stars.

I added a Poppystamps Simple Bethlehem Stitched Frame to the opening, and then layered a Sue Wilson Swirled Silent Night for the sentiment.

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.
