For this card, I used the pre-colored version of the Tulip Squares Digital Stamp.

The next layer was heat embossed with Ice Rink Embossing Powder and cut out with a Crafter's Companion Square die. Memory Box Stitched Squared were used to cut out the next layer, which was heat embossed with Cotton Candy Embossing Powder.

I used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen to give the image some amazing sparkle.

The sentiment is from the Digital Stamp Set. The bottom layer was embossed with Ice Rink and the button with Luau Green glitter.

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.

Have a Tail Waggin Good Day for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hi, 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 Just Me and My Dog stamp set.

I started by my cards by applying Tear-ific Tape ½” to the edges of a piece of cardstock and then covering it with Golden Sparkle Embossing Powder.

Next, a cloudy background using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The image stamped with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad using a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and heat embossed with Black Detail. The image was then colored with watercolors and cut out with Tonic Spring-Cut Fine Tip Detail Scissors 6.5”.

For the Memory Box Tree, I used Irish Isle Glitter for the leaves. For the trunk, Dark Chocolate Flocking.

The sentiment was heat embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder. I also added a couple of flowers, covered with Lacy Lilac and Shell Pink Glitters using Brushable Glue.

The fence was heat embossed with Blackened Bronze Embossing Powder. It gives it such amazing texture!!

For the cobblestone sidewalk, I put a strip of Tear-ific Tape 2” on cardstock and then cut it with a Tim Holtz Cobblestone die. I then removed the strip to leave spaces between the "stones" and removed the covering on a couple of them before covering it all with Platinum Detail Embossing Powder.
