Do You See Spots?

Yep, that's right - you are Seeing Spots from Stampin' Up! and those are good spots to be looking at! This stamp set is so much fun. It can be used with any theme. I chose to use it as my background today making my own designer series paper. Hee hee!

The bright colors are Green Galore and Pixie Pink. I tried to put together a bright, fun looking color combination.

To jazz it up a little, I added a little rhinestone to the center of the flower and used Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the petals. I don't try to sell you things you could buy elsewhere cheaper, so take my word for it that this glitter rocks! It's ultrafine and very nice to work with.

Another tidbit of interest for this creation is I wrapped the ribbon around the back of the centerpiece and cut it short in the front. I didn't want the ends to show, so I folded each end in a little and secured it to the card with little white brads. Love it or leave it?

I'm sorry my photograph at the top has a shadow in it. Sometimes my picture taking skills are lacking. I'll get better. I promise! :)

Have a wonderful day and stop back soon! Take care.

Glitter Window Card

Hello everyone!

Saturday morning we went for our Christmas family photograph. I had them take some of Brandon alone too since he will be 3 in a couple weeks. They turned out pretty good. We'll get them back in week or so.

My creation I am sharing with you today is a little out of the ordinary for me. I would never use purple for a Christmas card, but the patterned paper led me to do so. It's a shimmery paper from Reminisce cut into a 3x3 square. I used Stampin' Up! Lovely Lilac for the base of the card and ran it through my Big Shot using a snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder. I mounted the 3x3 patterned paper square on pop dots to the embossed card base.

The center of the card is the fun part! I cut out a Nestabilities scallop square for the frame and then used a smaller regular square to make a window for the center. I stamped in Lovely Lilac ink a snowflake from the SU! Snow Swirled set on white cardstock. I took about a 3 inch long piece of clear packing tape and shook Dazzling Diamonds glitter over the center of the tape. I wrapped the tape around my stamped image making sure the glitter part covered my snowflake. I glued the glitter snowflake piece to the back of the frame and adhered it to the card.

For a finishing touch I chalked in white (Stampin' Pastels) the snowflakes and the edge of the scallop frame.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail. Coming up next is a snowman card made out of Lake Erie beach glass! Wait until you see this!!!

Have a wonderful day and thank you for dropping in!
