Sparkle and Shine

Hello Crafty Friends,
Can you believe that today is the last day of 2017?  Where did the year go?  I have a card to share with you today that reminds me of the colors and things you see on New Years Eve.


To create the glitter stars in the opposite corners, I die cut White Liner sheets with the Star-Dom die.  I then pealed back one side of the adhesive and adhered it to the cardbase.  I then pealed off the top piece and then rubbed some Journey Sparkle Dust over the cutout.  A fun technique.

I hope that whatever you are doing tonight, that you are safe and ready to bring in 2018!

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Holiday Sparkle
Paper: Black Licorice Cardstock, Whip Cream Cardstock, Mirror Gold paper, White Liner sheets
Ink: Black Licorice
Dies: Star-Dom, Border Details
Silk: Sparkle
Accessories: Journey Sparkle Dust

Let it snow, let it snow, let is snow

Hello Crafty friends,

Christmas is over for another year and now we can start looking forward to the new year.  I have always wanted a white Christmas, but living in Southern California, we do not get those.
I can always dream right?
Today's card is for that dream.
This is a fun technique.  First you stamp the snowflakes onto the paper using Clear Pigment ink.  Then you take the light blue PanPastel from the Party Pop set and a soft tool and rub it over the whole piece of paper.  The snowflakes come to life.  Add the sentiment, some sparkle tape and some rhinestones and you have very simple and easy card.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Snow Burst
Paper: Beach Breeze Cardstock, Whip Cream Cardstock
Ink: Clear Pigment, Beach Breeze 
PanPastels: Party Pop
Accessories: Rhinestones, Pool Play Sparkle Tape, Whip Cream Sparkle Tape

Joy

Hello Crafty Friends,
Today I have a really simple card to share with you.

To make the background, I used a die cut of the Treat Label as the mask.  I then stamped the poinsettia with Cranberry Bliss ink around the mask.  Then I stamped the leaf with Kiwi Slice ink around the mask.
I love the poinsettia stamp on the white cardstock.  It really makes the flowers pop.  The Special Day organza ribbon makes the whole card come together.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Poinsettia Burst
Paper: Whip Cream Cardstock, Cranberry Bliss Cardstock
Ink: Cranberry Bliss, Kiwi Slice
Dies: Treat Label, Snapshot Frames, Journey Blooms Holiday
Ribbon: Special Day Organza Ribbon

Happy Birthday

Hello crafty friends,

Today is the last day of the 12 days of Deals from Fun STampers Journey.  This is such a great offer, I hope you will take advantage of it.

The card I have today, shows off some of the pattern paper we offer.
I made this card using some Color Splash paper. 
I first stamped the Happy Birthday (HB) onto the Color Splash paper with Clear Pigment Ink.  I then dusted the top of the ink with Journey White Embossing powder and dumped off the excess.
Next, I heat up the whole card.  After the embossing powder was good and try and cool, I took my Color Splash pencils and using water from the Blending Brush, I dropped color onto the card and swiped back and forth.
I then took a slightly darker pencil and flicked some color all over the piece.
To finish it off, I added some flicks of Sparkle Silk.

Today's deal is on select paper packs.  You can check it out here.
Supplies Used:
Stamp: HB
Paper: Whip Cream Cardstock, Party Pop Pattern Paper, Color Splash Paper
Ink: Clear Pigment Ink
Silk: Sparkle
Dies: Film Frame
Accessories: Rhinestones, Journey White Embossing powder
