Glitter Rose

My card today features a beautiful new Rose Cover die. I’m already picturing all the lovely cards I can make with this. On this card, I picked a couple of background papers and covered them with glitter to put behind the cover die. This is so sparkly! And it wasn’t hard to make, since the cover die does most of the work.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS928)so a big congrats to Victoria! She has such a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the single, big rose & thank you theme, but I used a cover die instead of a stamped one, added glittered paper behind it, & heat embossed & die cut the greeting.

After I die cut 2 of the Rose Covers out of white, I tried a lot of different backgrounds, until I came across a glitter behind acetate & I liked how it looked. But the colors were wrong, so I found a shaving cream bg in blues & greens that I liked & a mottled rose paper. I spread a coat of Diamond Glaze over both w/ a paintbrush, then sprinkled some pink, clear & green glitters over each. While they were still wet, I pressed down a think sheet of cellophane packaging. I couldn’t find my acetate sheets, so I used what I could find. They will peel up when dry if you play with them, but I sandwiched the glittered paper between the 2 die cuts so they won’t go anywhere. I actually attached the first cover over the green background, then attached the pink one on top in the rose area, then attached the second cover on top. The greeting was heat embossed w/ a glittery pink/red powder & die cut. I stacked it w/ another plain layer & card board to elevate it a bit.

The paper below is what they looked like before glittering them.

Thanksgiving Wreath

Posted on November 1, 2024 9:48 PM by Julie Comment

November is here and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Today I have a fairly simple card using a fab wooden sign as my background and minimalistic sunflower wreath. This sunflower wreath set and matching dies make it a snap! And I’m really loving this wooden sign and frame die. Let me show you how I made this.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge & we’re visiting a wonderful site called Home is Where the Bost Is & her Pinterest Board where I found THIS to use as my inspiration.

After stamping & coloring the oval sunflower wreath & an extra sunflower, I die cut them w/ their matching dies. For the background, I die cut the wooden sign out of Kraft card stock & the backing frame layer out of white. I wanted the wooden background to be a little softer & worn, so I took white ink & rubbed the ink pad directly over the entire area. The white only covered the high points leaving the grain lines the Kraft color. I love the worn, whitewashed look it gave! The greeting was stamped and die cut w/ the smallest tag & the next size tag was die cut out of the Kraft. I placed it under the wooden sign die & ran it through then whitewashed it, as well. This tag set is a real must have..it has 3 sizes of each shape & I picked this shape because it mimicked the shape of the wooden sign background.

I popped up the wreath & sign then added a worn brass brad to “hang” my wreath. A little stickles was added to the sunflower centers. Here are the Copics I used on the wreath:

Today I have another fun Halloween card and it’s so easy to make. Also, it’s very easy to customize by changing the background paper and/or the greeting. I think this would look great with a bright Halloween orange or acid green background. I went with a bright yellow/orange glitter paper for some sparkle.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS919), so a big congrats to Janet! She has a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the eyes, two color & cover die, but I used yellow & black instead of red & black, changed it to vertical layout & added a greeting.

After die cutting the googly eye cover out of black, I tried it out on various colors of backgrounds & finally picked this bright, yellow/orange glitter paper. The sparkle just added that something I thought it needed. I used the smallest of the rectangle dies to cut another piece of the glitter paper & heat embossed the greeting on to it w/ a glittery black powder. I used the smallest of the Stars dies to cut the largest stars & two other Christmas dies for the smaller stars. Fast, easy & done w/ lots of sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
