I chose to work with "Woofie's Birthday".  Isn't it cute?  I started off by making my background using the NEW Enamels Embossing Powder in Polka Dot (EP464).  I inked up a piece of white cardstock with VersaMark Ink (VM001) then sprinkled the Polka Dot Embossing Powder (EP464) over the entire piece.  Then, I heat set it from underneath the paper until it was all melted and gorgeous! I then attached it to a piece of black cardstock using Tear-ific Tape (SAT04). 

Next, I stamped the cute image with Memento Black Ink (ME900) and colored some accents with some markers. I added some Fire Engine Red Glitter (G1007) using the 
Sakura Glue Pen (quicky)  around the balloon, party hat & party bandanna for added effect.  I free-hand drew around the "woof" sentiment with the Sakura Glue Pen and added Hit the Beach Embossing Powder (EP394).

To finish the card, I added some Grassy Green Flocking (FL103) to the grass and Canary Flocking (FL108) to the tennis ball using the Glue Pen. I layered it on black cardstock with Tear-ific Tape (SAT04) and mounted it to the background using Foam Squares.
 

The next stop on our blog hop is Belinda and you can find her blog here.


Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see you again next time!

Sleigh Ride - SparkleNSprinkle New Release!

Hello friends!

I'm back again over at the SparkleNSprinkle blog with a fun new card featuring the new release stamp set, Sleigh Ride!

Here is the list of supplies I used to make this card (links to all SparkleNSprinkle products used are included):

Stamp Credit: Sleigh Ride {00-744P7}

Sparkling Snow Glitter {G1003}

NEW Fleur de Lis Super Thick Embossing Powder {EP465}

Versamark Ink {VM-001}

SNS Dimensional Glue {539}

1/2" Tear-ific Tape {SAT-04}

2' Tear-ific Tape {SAT-12}

Snow White Flocking {FL-101}

Distress Ink - Peacock Feathers {TIM-34933}
Super Thick Red Embossing Powder {EP240}
Brown Fizz Embossing Powder {EP381}
Toyland Bear {00-674P5}

Navy Cardstock 

White Cardstock

Sizzix Embossing Folder
Brads
Blue Ink
Brown Ink

First I started by stamping the horse image with Versamark Ink.  Then, I sprinkled on the new Fleur de Lis Embossing Powder and heat set from underneath.  I trimmed the image to desired size.  Then I took the Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and sponge all around the image to give it a little more color. I used a corner rounder to snip the edges and matted on a piece of navy colored cardstock using Tearific Tape.  I used my corner rounder once more to trim the edges.  Next, I took my Dimensional Glue and created some "snow" underneath the sleigh and horse.  I sprinkled on the Sparkling Snow Glitter and set the piece aside to dry.

I cut my background papers to 4"x5.25" an 3.75"x5" (to fit a standard A2 card).  I took a piece of the 2" Tearific Tape and applied to the top of the navy cardstock.  I sprinkled Snow White Flocking over the adhesive (after I removed the protective backing of course!) and burnished well with my finger tool.  Next, I took the paper and ran it through my Big Shot using a circle patterned embossing folder to give some extra dimension!  Once that was complete, I attached it to the white piece of cardstock with Tearific Tape.  I added the image to the background with foam squares and attached to the card base with more Tearific Tape. 

Next, I made the sentiment.  I stamped it with a dark blue ink and punched out.  I used another punch to give it some background and attached everything together with Tearific Tape.  To make the brads red, I used our new Super Thick Red Embossing Powder!  I carefully held each brad with tweezers and heated.  Then, I dipped the brad into the embossing powder and head set. I quickly dunked the brad back into the embossing powder and heat set one more time to make is super red.  Don't touch the brad right away, it's super hot!  Once they cooled, I added them to my sentiment and attached to the card with foam squares.

To enhance the inside of the card, I simply stamped a few trees with brown ink, stamping twice to make some darker and lighter.  Then, I stamped with Versamark Ink, sprinkled with Brown Fizz Embossing Powder and heat set.  They turned out nice and sparkly!  I added a "Merry Christmas" sentiment from another stamp set called "Toyland Bear".  Then, I attached it to the inside of the card and voila!  A cute, snow-ready Christmas card!

Thanks for stopping by and now you can go shop for all the supplies to make this card at SparkleNSprinkle!
Cheers!

Creative Corner Challenges - Must Have 3 Embellishments!

Hello again!  

Welcome to another fun challenge from Creative Corner Challenges!

This week, we were sponsored by the amazing 

A Day for Daisies!  I just love their whimsical digis!

I chose to work with a digi that had a wedding theme - perfect for embellishing!

Here is my card:

I watercolored the image with an Aquapainter brush using Pearlescent Watercolor paints form SparkleNSprinkle. I added some rosette ribbon at the bottom, some silver embellishments to enhance her veil and a big, sparkly gem for some bling. I had some shimmery aqua paper from Envelopments on hand and used it to mat my image.  The base of the card is gray.  On the inside, I stamped a sentiment with aqua ink.  I used the stampset "For the New Two" from Stampin' Up!.

I do hope you will come out and play along! 

 You could win an amazing prize from A Day for Daisies!

Until next time,

Jess

Cackle On!

Hi there! 

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer over at the SparkleNSprinkle Blog for the next 3 months.  Thanks for stopping by to check out what I created using all the amazing SparkleNSprinkle products.

I am sure having fun playing with the "Cackle On" stampset this month! It's so darn cute!

Here is the list of SparkleNSprinkle supplies I used to make this card:

Stamp Credit:

Cackle On {743-P7}

SparkleNSprinkle Supplies:

Hyacinth Cardstock {98122}

Pumpkin Orange PearlEx {JAQU 641}

Black Detail Embossing Powder {EP171}

Paprika Flocking {FL-105}

Versamark Ink Pad {VM-001}

Sakura Quickie Glue Pen {quicky}

Tear-ific Tape {SAT04}

Foam Squares {01612}

Here is how I made the card. First, I stamped the witch randomly with Versamark Ink on a 4x5.25" piece of black cardstock.  Next, I took my Pumpkin Orange PearlEX Powder, lightly sprinkled it over the stamped witches using a soft brush and gently rubbed into the ink to give it a shiny orange background.

I cut a small strip (roughly 1x5") of my October Afternoon patterned paper (it's from their Witch Hazel line!).  I wanted to jazz up the pumpkins that were already their and I had a small bag of Paprika Flocking sitting on my desk - PERFECT! I grabbed my Sakura Quickie Glue pen, colored in the pumpkins where I wanted the flock to adhere and pressed in the Paprika Flocking!  Aren't they cute and fuzzy?  I adhered the paper strip to my witch background with Tear-ific Tape.

Now, I continued on to the rest of my stamping!  I stamped both the sentiment & the witch image  from Cackle On onto my white cardstock using Versamark Ink, sprinkled Black Detail Embossing Powder over the images and heat set with my heat tool.  I fussy cut out the witch and used a circle punch to cut out the sentiment.  I adhered these to my card using Foam Squares. Finally, I cut my card base from Hyacinth Cardstock (standard A2 Card with a side fold) and used Tear-ific Tape to attach my card front.

I think it turned out super cute, don't you?  Thanks for stopping by and remember to check out the store for all these amazing supplies and more!  Until next time, happy crafting!

Creative Corner Challenges - BOOOOOO!

Hello everyone!

This week at Creative Corner Challenges, we chose the theme of BOOOOO!  With Halloween this month, I thought it would be fun to share some Halloween creations.  We did not have a sponsor, so we were free to create as we pleased!

I actually came up with multiple projects for this week.  I am working on Halloween Decor for my house, so it was perfect timing!

Here are my creations:

I actually found a really cool way to use my Cricut too!  I needed some glitter embellishments, but was out of black glitter paper.  I grabbed my Super Adhesive Sheets from SparkleNSprinkle and cut some shapes from my Cricut Artiste cartridge - then I added my glitter flocking (SparkleNSoft).  It worked PERFECTLY!  I was so excited to find this out! Now I can make custom die cuts with all my glitters and embossing powders - yippee!

I created this page completely with paper & die cuts from October Afternoon's Witch Hazel line!  Isn't is adorable?

Here is a pic of some creations I made using the Close to My Heart Cricut Artiste and Artbooking cartridges:

I do hope you will come along and play with us this week.  I want to see all your Halloween & Spooky creations.   I sure enjoyed all my Halloween creating this week!

Enjoy and have a great week!
