Craft It Up & Link It Up - Bring On The Glitter

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! I have been so hooked on watching the Olympics...I'm going to be so sad when they are over :( It's time for a new challenge at Craftin Desert Divas!! The theme this week is "Bring On The Glitter". Our sponsors are: Too Cute By Jessica - $20; The Robin's Nest - A Packet from Regency Collection; and Timeless Twine - $20.

For my glittery project, I used a Prima Mixed Media Tag, inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink. All of the paper is from Prima's Romance Novel stack...this paper is so beautiful. The scalloped design on the side is a Die-Versions Loopy Lace die. A Die-Versions Brick Background die was used in the background. The crinkle ribbon is from my sweet friend Karen of Little Scrap Pieces.

I haven't used my Julie Nutting Prima Doll stamps lately, and while I (anxiously) await the newest Doll stamps to arrive, I thought I'd glam this one up with glitter :) She was stamped on an old book page and then her outfit was paper pieced, covered in Ranger Glossy Accents and then coated with glitter. She was popped up with foam tape.

The flowers are Spellbinders D-Lites Blooms One and Tree. They too were covered with Glossy Accents and then glitter.

The balloon was cut from the paper and then glittered. I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Little Scrap Pieces - Anything Goes
2. DL.Art - February Linky
3. Every Day is an Occasion - February Linky
4. Just B Creative Crazy - February Linky

I do have a Valentine's Day project to share with you today. I had hoped to have a couple more this week, but time got away from me. February is flying by as fast as January :)

I love these thick chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby. It looks a little crooked in the picture...I guess I didn't get the bottom of the lightbox straight :) The papers are from my Mind's Eye Love Me stack.

This adorable Cupid is a Die-Versions Sweet Petite die. Isn't he cute??!! You can find him HERE. He was covered in Recollections Blaze Embossing Powder. I just love the sparkle it gives.

The flowers are from Prima. The center button is a Spellbinders Home Sweet Home die, cut in Core'dinations Core Couture paper.

The hearts are Tim Holtz dies. Heavyweight cardstock from Canvas Corp was covered in Tim's Tissue Tape. They were then inked with TH's Barn Door and Fired Brick Distress Inks, and then Black Soot on the edges.

Happy Tuesday!! February is just flying by, isn't it??!! Since Valentine's Day is Friday, I have a couple of projects to share with you this week, including this card :)

I started of cutting the Die-Versions Heart Burst die through the three base layers of paper. The top layer was embossed with a Cuttlebug Heart Blocks embossing folder.

Then a piece of recycled clear plastic packaging was attached to the back. The paper on the inside is from My Mind's Eye.

The Die-Versions Heart Burst die was then attached to the plastic with Glossy Accents. The center heart was cut in sparkly silver paper and attached to the inside. The ring of gems is from Want 3 Scrap.

Love is from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags 3 stamp set. The burlap ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and I can't remember where I got the red ribbon with white stitching. The heart button is a Spellbinders Potpourri die.
