Sparkly Fun

-
To stamp with me is to know I like a bit of bling. So when the recent Occasions mini catalog came about and I saw the Sending Love Specialty designer series paper (item 117153), I had to have some. It's beautiful, every page has glitter accents. Now the paper is real red, pretty in pink, chocolate chip and vanilla, excellent for valentines and actually good for everyday cards as well. But I have made many cards with it and am looking forward to seeing new patterns in the specialty dsp series. (By the way...the Summer mini is due out May 1st, YAY!)
Well, again to know me is to know that I can never wait and I always need things now. SO, I decided to make my own "specialty" paper. Way back when the 2009-2010 came out I earned the Lovely Flowers Hostess bundle. I have been hoarding the gorgeous paper ever since, bringing it out every once in a while to admire it and then putting it away to save for something really good. I decided to use it this time. I chose a card layout, snipped a small piece of the dsp, picked up the matching stamp set, and went to work. Using Versamark, heat and stick powder and dazzling diamond glitter, I created this card.
As you can see what was once plain dsp is now sparkly "specialty" dsp. Voila!

Supplies
Lovely Flowers bundle
cardstock: old olive, whisper white, melon mambo, and rich razzleberry
ink: basic black, and versamark
dsp: lovely flowers
accessories: rich razzleberry ribbon, dazzling diamonds glitter, heat and stick powder



Here is a close up of the glitter accents I added.














Hope this idea inspired you to jazz up some of your favorite dsp.
Happy Stampin'

Gift Card Flower Bouquet

It is the end of the school year for us.....finally! I can't wait to have my kids home for the summer. I love lounging in PJ's all day, and taking fun day trips to the beach or museums. I'm sure those days will include sibling arguments and a messy house but I choose not to think about that. I have tons of kids activities pinned on Pinterest for those moments I will want to pull my hair out. And when I need a break I will lock myself in my bedroom and skim the internet for new card ideas. That's my plan anyways, we shall see what happens.... Anyways, with the end of the school year comes class parties, school events and teacher gifts. I was room mom for one of my boys classrooms and my co-room mom and I decided on a gift card bouquet for her. It was really fun to put together. I used all of my favorite punches and some techniques I learned from Carrie Cudney herself at the SU convention last year. You can see a quick tutorial on one of the flowers I made  here . ...

Thanks for visiting today! Here is my Frosty Friends swap card for the Over the Top swap, "Bling It". This swap was organized by Barbara Jackson, thanks Barbara I had a great time. Frosty Friends stamp set (C) Stampin' Up! I tried to use as many "blingy" things as I could. I used our silver glimmer paper, basic rhinestones,dazzling diamonds glitter, and shimmer paint. Now with the shimmer paint I used the new spritzers available in the new catalog, I poured some of the paint in the spritzer, added some water and spritzed the paint onto my card. I used my two way glue on the snowmen by tracing the outlines and then sprinkling on the dazzling glitter. The snowflake is cut using our new snowflake die. SUPPLIES stamp set: Frosty Friends, Easy Events ink: staz on black, early espresso paper: sahara sand, whisper white, cherry cobbler, and pool party card stock; pool party designer prints paper accessories: cherry cobbler seam binding, ribbon punch, s...

I really love the versatility of this set. Its so easy to create fun and useful cards, tags and gifts. The boxed set comes with two ink spots, a block, stamp set and matching punch. I matched this with the Tea Room dsp, a specialty paper with 24 sheets. The layers are created with punches, stitched shapes and layering squares framelits. Because the envelopes are quite snug, you want to keep your layers flat, I only used one layer of dimentionals per card. Happy Stampin, Tricia
