Glittery Goodness

Oh, hi!  I'm back with not one. . . not two. . . but 3 cards today!  I had a grand time playing with some new dies AND glitter AND Copics AND Alcohol Ink.  By the time I was done, I was a sparkly, inky mess.

Oh. . .and there's a video showing how I got all that glittery goodness, too!  Yep!  I finally got set up to do craft videos.  I'm pretty excited about that!  So, if you have 14 minutes and 8 seconds, please check it out and let me know what you think.  Feedback would greatly be appreciated being that this is my first video and all.

Ok . . on to the cards.  For all three cards I used Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter and Double-Sided Adhesive Sheets by Elizabeth Craft Designs.

For the card above, I used the Lovely Lilacs Die by Spellbinders.  I love that it's a set of two dies because it makes it super easy to get all that glittery goodness.

After I glittered it up, I added color using R81, R83, R85 and G46 Copic Markers.  Then I cut an oval from Natural White Neenah card stock using my Large Classic Ovals Nestabilities and adhered that to a black scalloped oval that I cut using Fancy Edged Ovals dies.  The sentiment is from the Brushstroke Expressions set by My Favorite Things.

I used foam tape to pop up the flowers and the ovals on a panel of patterned paper, then adhered that to a black panel, and finally, added that to a top folding card from the same Natural White Neenah card stock.  Viola!  All done.

For the second card, I decided to try Tim Holtz Alcohol inks.  I figured if Copics worked, then they should too.  Ta-Da!  They do!

For this card, I used the Wagon Wheel Kaleidoscope die by Spellbinders.  I glittered it up and then applied Watermelon, Butterscotch, Meadow, and Aqua Alcohol Inks.  I adhered that to a white panel using Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue.

Those coffee cups are from the August My Monthly Hero* kit from Hero Arts.  I stamped them onto patterned paper and then cut them out.  I adhered the bigger mug onto a white circle using a tape runner.  Then I used foam tape for the smaller mug.  I thought the white circle needed a border, so I cut a circle from yellow card stock.

The sentiment is stamped on white card stock and I added a yellow frame to match the circle.  I used foam tape to adhere the circles and the sentiment on top of the Wagon Wheel die.  Then I adhered that to a yellow panel, and finally onto a white top folding card.  Ta-Da!  Finito!

*The August My Monthly Hero kit is already sold out, but these coffee stamps or these coffee stamps would work well, too.*

For the third card, I thought I'd try Copic Refills.  Lo and behold! They worked too!

For this card, I cut a black frame using Oval Dies from Spellbinders. For the glittered oval, I used the larger of the two oval dies.  The Bellina Butterfly Stem die is from Poppy Stamps.  I love how delicate it is.

I used G02 and BG34 Copic Refills and applied it using an Alcohol Ink Applicator Tool.  Easy Peasy, Quick and Easy!  I adhered the glittered oval to a white panel that was embossed with a Cuttlebug Folder.  Then adhered that to a black panel and finally, a white top folding card.  Viola!  All done.

And there ya have it!  Three cards full of glittery goodness!

Thanks for stopping by today!
