SparkleNSprinkle - Winter Blue Jay

Hello Friends!

I'm here today with another gorgeous card for SparkleNSprinkle!

This time, I was working with the card called "Winter Blue Jay" - it's so pretty! I worked with the Digital Version.

Supply List:

Winter Blue Jay Digital Stamp #809P5

Versamark Ink - VM001

Moonstone . Glimmer Paste - 953N

Pebbled Copper Embossing Powder - EP303

Foam Squares - 01613

Sparkle Embossing Powder - EP107

Mediterranean Star Embossing Powder - EP429

Nuvo Glue Pen - Small - #202N

1/2" Tear-ifc Tape - SAT04

So, this was a pretty easy card and came together quickly!

I started by running my background through an embossing folder that was inked up with Versamark Ink.  While still wet, I sprinkled on Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set.  It created such a pretty background!  I added a bit of Glimmer Paste around the edges to simulate snow.  I set it aside to dry and started on my image. I printed it off (LOVE DIGIS!) and fussy cut out the image. I used the Nuvo Small Pen to trace the branch and added Pebble Copper Embossing Powder, heat setting.

I also added a border around the sentiment and embossed with Mediterranean Star Embossing Powder.

To finish off, I added a bit of Liquid applique snow! :)  How fun!

The image was popped up using Foam Squares for dimension and layered up the card using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.

I hope you love this card!  I sure do! Plus, I just LOVE pre-colored digital images!  

Until next time,

SparkleNSprinkle - Mr. Snowflake Layout

Hello friends!

I'm here today with a fun layout for SparkleNSprinkle, featuring Mr. Snowflake (DIGI3127) - a DIGITAL only release this month!

Supply List:

Mr. Snowflake Digital Stamp - DIGI3127

Blue Haze Glitter - GM2022

Sugar Plum Glitter - G1096

Sassy Silver Glitter - G1050

Nuvo Glue Pen - Small - #202N

Moonstone Glimmer Past - #953N

Nuvo Crystal Drops - Morning Dew - #667N

Nuvo Cyrstal Drops - Crushed Grape - #662N

Luau Green Glitter - GM2004

Tiger Orange Glitter - G2003

Mon Ami Pull Ribbon - 1/8"Green

1/4" Tear-ific Tape - SAT01

SO this was super fun for me to make!  I started out by printing the colored Digital images onto white cardstock. I used the Wreath, the Snowman and the sentiment.

I fussy cut them all out and then started having fun with my Nuvo Small Glue Pen & Glitter! To add the glitter, I simply drew on the area I wanted it to be using the Glue Pen and then sprinkled on the glitter.  Brush off the excess and voila!

I added Sugar Plum to the wreath, Mr.Snowflake's scarf and the wreath he is holding. I used Tiger Orange on his carrot nose and Luau Green on his hat!  Blue Haze added a touch of glitter to his gloves & pipe smoke and Sassy Silver on his bells and the sentiment. How easy is that?

Next, I added the Moonstone Glimmer paste to the base of Mr. Snowflake. I used a small spoon to dab the paste on and make it piled up like snow.  Such a fun product!  I also added a row of it to the top of the piece of patterned paper where I put the icicles.  I set it aside to dry (took about an hour). 

I assembled my page layout using various pieces of patterned paper.  I added 2 rows of 1/4" Tearific Tape across the length of once piece of paper and used Luau Green to add some extra sparkle. Then I tied the Pull Ribbon around the piece of patterned paper.  All of the layers were adhered to the base using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape. I should mention that this is an 8x8 Layout! :)

To finish off the page, I added tons of dots with the Nuvo Crystal Drops!  I used the Morning Dew and Crushed Grape to add tons of dimension and fun. I even "drew" on some icicles!  What do you think?

I hope you head over to the shop to pick up this fun digital stamp!  Until next time,

Kitty Bee Designs - November Spotlight

Hello friends!

I'm here today to share my Designer Spotlight for November with Kitty Bee Designs!

I just LOVE this cute little penguin - he's called "Snow Penguin" and he's just perfect for holiday cards! You can find the digi HERE.

Here is what I created:

I used my TwinTouch markers to color him in. I got to play with some new dies from Hero Arts called "Snowy Drifts Fancy Dies"!  Aren't they cute? I used them to cut the trees and just free handed the snow drifts.  I added some sparkle with Tonic Glimmer Paste and SparkleNSprinkle's Lavender Iris Glitter. I accented his hat with some liquid applique. So fun!

I had so much fun making this card - I will definitely be making a few more of them!

Have a great day!
