MATTING WITH GLITTER

Ooo glitter! Of course I have a lifetime stash that doesn't get used too often =) Lizzie gave us some wonderful tips for using glitter.

 

My card was busy, so my glitter mat is simple:

Letterpress detail:

I did a letterpress technique with Rustic Wreath, added snowflakes from Quilted Winter,

a sentiment from Christmas Cheer and pink sequins to finish.

I will need to try this some more. I really liked Lizzie's cards with the curved/decorative edges of glitter!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Our inspiration:

I was inspired by the third picture and the fifth, and knew I had to have a mountain card:

It ended up being a mountain card with a letterpress look:

So I kept the card really simple so it didn't distract from the letterpress look. An the less cute details the more the card will work as a masculine card. Always need more of those!

A letterpress watercolored mountain from Scene it: Mountain View die

 and a hello from You've Been Framed: Hexagon Mini.

The letterpress tutorial I was inspired to try: http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2017/10/die-cut-letterpress-giveaways.html

Have a happy hop!

BUILD-A-WREATH

Melissa gave us great tips to make wreaths, and I know there will be lots of lovely wreath cards!

I had a little head start because I said the next card I should make is a fall card and I already had my Rustic Wreath set out!

I cut one wreath out of glitter paper and one out of brown. Then I added details with the Mini Blooms set and sequins. My sentiment is from Phrase Play #7 with some wink-of-Stella on it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful weekend,

SENTIMENT WINDOWS

We survived the September where everything starts! (school, Awana, soccer, & Piano lessons, plus a big family vacation to Disneyland and the flu hitting later too...phew) I was happy to have a little time to create.

I made a snowflake window today:

I had fun playing with the new to me dies for Snowflake Medley. I used some pattern paper, PTI ink, and a sentiment from O Holy Night.

Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. Thought I would share my favorite pictures from our vacation:

It was my parents dream to take the kids to Disneyland, so along with my sister too we made it happen.

This one always makes me laugh.
