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.

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a tropical card to share with you using dies from the fun June release.

I used the Whispers Hula Girl for this card. She's dancing in front of a lush garden of Whispers Tropical Hanging Flowers. The background is a Whispers Summer Flowers Background die.

So it looks like she's really hula dancing, I put her on an action wobble!! She's also covered with a Wink of Stella pen for a pretty shimmer.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)
