CRAFT STAMPER~Holiday Sparkle

Woohooo! It's time for another Challenge over at

This month, "anything goes" as long as you have used stamping somewhere on your project. Easy peasy right? 

Our prize this month is

For this month's challenge, I created some Christmas Winter Scenes with a whole lot of sparkle!! I must admit, it was hard to capture the glitter in photos, so I did manage one with the flash on...not top quality, but it works. lol

I started with a Bridge roadway stamp from my stash (sorry I don't have a company name as it was from a Goody Bag at a crop)- stamped it onto Bristol smooth  with Memento Toffee Crunch. I then stamped trees (Stampers Anonymous Tree Line and CTMH Frosted Kit) in different shades of greens (Versamagic  Spanish Olive and Versafine Olympia Green) to finish off my scene. 

I then added the panel to a sheet of Sookwang Adhesive and pour on the glitter. I burnished the glitter in place. For this card, I then took a sheet of white CS and used Spellbinders ovals to create the window and adhered it to the glitter panel. A poinsettia and greens from the TH Funky Festive Die set and  a sentiment from Penny Black in Versafine Sepia finished off the card.  

Here's the inside of the first card:

For the second card, I created the same scene the same way as above but kept it to the one layer and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black Onyx and used the greens and pinecones from the same Funky Festive set.

Here's the inside of the second card:

Here's my attempt at capturing the GLITTER..Lol:

Here's my lil' gift tags featuring CUTplorations Tags 1 . I started with my base cut from Mixed Media Paper and then applied Distress Oxides in Fired Brick and Picked Raspberry. I then applied some water splatters to create some texture in my background. I stamped and die cut the trees from the Trendy Christmas Trees stamp set and the Trendy Christmas Trees Coordinating Dies set from GLITTER paper...I do love me some glitter! lol!

 I  stamped the sentiments from the Trendy Christmas Trees stamp set in coordinating Brilliance Inks and stamped a "To" and "From", which are from a Hero Arts set, in Archival ink. I adhered the trees to the tags and gave the center trees more dimension by adhering them with foam tape.  I then finished with a splash of Prima Gold Foil Bloom Spray, some Gingham ribbon and a Tim Holtz Mirrored Star.

I then cut out the Sentiment using the Peace Love Joy Die 4 times. 3 times onto white cardstock and once onto Red Glitter Cardstock from Recollections. I glued all 4 together so that my sentiment would have some definition. A wood veneer snowflake from Michael's painted in Liquitex Gold Paint finished it off.

Happy Thursday everyone!

It's time for another challenge over at Creative Knockouts!!

Our challenge for you this week is:

ALL THAT GLITTERS

Our wonderful sponsor this challenge is:

I had the pleasure of working with  

Exotic Enchantment. 

  I made a shaker card and used Sparkle Sequins for that extra glitter. DP is from Recollections and CS is American Crafts. I used Circle and Beaded Circles from Spellbinders and Sizzix Sentiment for the die cuts. Finished it with bling and flowers from my stash. 

I colored the image with SN markers and Prismacolor pencils. Used White Gellyroll marker to look like beads in her hair- I thought it was very "fairy". LOL!

Also used a Silver Glitter Gellyroll Marker for more glitter on her wings. 

This reminded me I am still NOT a fan of fussy cutting. LOL! But it worked here and I layered half of her with pop- dots to match the Shaker piece depth. 

Be sure to check out the GLITTER-TASTIC creations from my teamies and leave them some love!

Happy Craftin'!

COME AND JOIN IN THE FUN!!

August Challenge #2
~GLITTER GALORE~

(*THERE WILL BE NO BLOG CANDY FOR THIS MONTH*

We will be awarding one lucky winner a guest designer spot for the month of

October as well as a winner of 3 Digital Stamps per challenge)

I made a card using the sweet Necking Giraffes. I made this for my Dad to give my mom for their anniversary next month.

I used Glitter CS from Michael's. Thought it was perfect for this challenge and have been waiting for a chance to use it! ;o) Base and Layer CS are from Recollections. Ribbon is from my stash- another item waiting for the right moment to be used. LOL! Finished it off with a Sentiment punched with my Marvy Circle Punch and layered on Ironwork Accents Die from Spellbinders.

I colored the image with SN Markers:

I decorated the inside as well but used different DP (Recollections) as the Glitter CS would have been too heavy. 

I look forward to your creations this challenge!

Happy Craftin'!
