  • Green Glitter Christmas Tree

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    An easy to make, glittery Christmas card that will surely catch the recipient’s eye! So sparkly w/ 3 shades of green glitter card stock, a gold embossed greeting & a negative tree die cut overlay.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC939) & we are visiting Crafting My Home where I found THIS display for my inspiration. For my very glittery card, I die cut two Kraft panels..1 large & 1 smaller. The smaller one was used to die cut a large pine tree & I used the negative portion only, On the larger background, I cut 3 strips in 3 shades of green glitter card stock & attached them across the front. I also cut a couple of extra smaller panels & also cut the tree out of them. Then I stacked them behind the top panel to give it some depth.

    The greeting was gold embossed on the large panel & I added a small gold star on top of the tree. Pretty easy!

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Be Merry

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, glittery holiday card with plenty of silver sparkle embossing and glitter paper. So bright and sparkling for a Christmas greeting or a holiday party invite. 

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC938) we are visiting PepperLu & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture to inspire me. 

    The little boy in the picture became a sparkling wine glass on my card. I die cut it out of silver glitter paper & the wine out of red glitter. The black layers were backed w/ the same silver glitter paper. I used a silver tinsel embossing powder to heat emboss the upper part of the large black panel w/ the stars & dots. The greeting was also embossed w/ the same powder. I put two greetings together, using the first line of one & adding the Merry from another under it. Some red & clear gems were sprinkled throughout the top.

    Since the first line of the greeting was from a longer greeting, I masked off the lower section. I’ve been asked how I do this & I took a pic to show you the easiest way I’ve found to do this. After inking the part I want to stamp, I put a strip of scotch tape across the part I want to exclude. I do this because I’ve found no matter how well I think I’ve wiped the ink off that part, it is never quite all, so this just ensures I don’t have any unintended inking.

    Thanks so much for     stopping by!

  • Cheers Shaker

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, sparkly shaker card to celebrate the holidays, a birthday or New Year’s. Glitter was used for the shaker so it’s not bulky and shouldn’t take extra postage. Some step by step pics show you the process & it doesn’t require any special supplies.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC937) we are visiting Catch My Party & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. The colors and the sparkle really caught my eye.

    I first created the large background using a 2 part Bokeh stencil and some light green & teal inks. Some paler, larger circles were added using a white pigment ink. After making sure this was completely dry, I put one of the stencils back onto the background & sponged some silver ink here & there, in some of the smallest circles, then embossed this w/ silver ep. For the shaker element, I die cut the shapes into the turquoise rectangle, then did the same to 2 pieces of cardboard. A separate glass was die cut in grass green & inserted the outline into the opening. I used a piece of cellophane packaging (like those that clear stamps or embellishments come in) & attached this to the back of the turquoise piece before attaching the 2 piece of cardboard on top of it. 

    Below is the back. I’ve already filled the bottle area & attached a piece of white card stock over it to seal it.

    This is how the front looks at this point.

    I put some chunky glitter inside the opening of the glass, then attached another piece of white over it. The front side of the white cover was lightly sponged w/ the green & teal inks to give it a color. You can see that below.

    Here is the right side, all finished.

    The greeting was stamped, & the shaker element was attached to the Bokeh background. I glued some of the larger pieces of the glitter, here & there on the Bokeh bg for some additional sparkle.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!
