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.

Sweet Perfection for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a project to share with you featuring the Sweet Unicorn Baby 922 stamp set.

A Sizzix Box die was used to create the box, using Tear-ific Tape ¼ and Tear-ific Tape 3/4” to secure it together. I cut it in heavyweight cardstock and then covered the panels with colored cardstock, using Tear-ific Tape 3/4” to adhere the paper to the box. The ribbons are from DL.ART.

On the top panel, I used Brushable Glue and then covered it with Unicorn glitter. I embossed a strip of paper with Venus Violet embossing powder and added that to the edge.

For the rainbow, I applied a Super-Adhesive Sheets to cardstock and used a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval, securing all of the dies together to get each ray of the rainbow. I then tried to say close to the true colors of the rainbow (ROYGBIV). I used the following glitters, from top to bottom: Gypsy Red, Tangerine, Daisy, Irish Isle, Mermaid, Unicorn and Purple Fig. I then used a Glitter Brush to remove any excess glitter.

I just love this sweet unicorn :) After dusting a piece of cardstock with an Anti Static Bag, she was stamped using a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad and then heat embossed with Black Detail. She was colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and then I used a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen to add sparkle to her hair and the cloud. I then fussy cut her using Tonic Spring-Cut Fine Tip Detail Scissors 6.5”. An oval was cut with a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval from cardstock covered with a Super-Adhesive Sheet. It was then covered with Super Thick White embossing powder and heat embossed for incredible texture.

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.

Sending Smiles 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 colorful cards to share with you today featuring the Feathered Friends stamp set, and the Botanical Orchid Flowers stamp set for the sentiment.

I started off by adhering Tear-ific Tape ½” to the edges of cardstock and then heat embossed it with Amethyst embossing powder.

The background was created with Nuvo Shimmer Powders in Solar Flare,  Atlantis Burst, Violet Brocade and Cherry Bomb. I added a spritz or two of Nuvo Mica Mist Nebula Blue as well.

I had a happy accident when I went to spritz it with Nuvo Mica Mist Fresh Pear. The nozzle was clogged and it dripped out instead of squirting, but I love the look the drops added.

Using a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and Versamark Embossing Ink Pad, I heat embossed the birds with Black Detail before coloring them with markers. I used Nuvo Hybrid Ink Pad Sea Siren Polar Ice to add color around the birds. They were framed with Memory Box Circles covered in Impulsive Purple glitter.

The sentiment is from the Botanical Orchid Flowers stamp set, and it was heat embossed with Black Detail embossing powder. The layers were adhered together with Tear-ific Tape 2”.

As a finishing touch, I added Nuvo Golden Years Confetti Ice White Circles.
