a sparkly tiara

Hi everyone! Ashley here today using the Sparkle and the With Some Sparkle stamp sets to show you a pretty card.

First I used the Sparkle stamp set and silver super fine detail embossing powder to make some sparkles on my background.

Then I stamped the sentiment from With Some Sparkle in white fine detail embossing powder. I think this font is so pretty. Next I stamped the tiara from the same stamp set and used Wow! embossing glitter in shocking pink. That's definitely a sparkly tiara!

warm winter wishes

We had our first snow of the season in Indiana this weekend and it put me in the mood to bundle up the penguin in the Winter Wonderland stamp set:

I wanted to use the penguin from the Winter Wonderland stamp set and I wanted to bundle him up with a hat and a scarf. I stamped my penguin and the hat and fussy cut them both. Then I stamped the image of the wolf wearing the scarf and fussy cut the scarf.

I colored the hat and scarf with Copic markers and attached them to my penguin. Then I attached the penguin to my card. I stamped the sentiment using the Say It Winter Greetings stamp set.

For a little bling, I added snowflakes using the Sparkle red rubber cling stamp set. I heat embossed them with silver embossing powder.

Here's my finished card:

Thanks so much for looking! Hoping you're staying warm this winter :) For more details, check out my blog today, Markland and Main.

Sparkle a little brighter

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps from Paper Wings Productions.

 

I love creating journals and books so I've used the new With Some Sparkle stamp set.  This set of 5 stamps reminds us of how special we all are.

 

A spellbinders die was place on the journal and the stamped phrase was placed on top.  Then I added rhinestones around the cover so it all sparkles.

 

So don't be afraid to sparkle!!!

 

thanks for stopping by today.

 

Steph

Today I am sharing how to create an easy background using gelatos and some Faber Castell Big Brush Pens.  You can find both of these products in the Paper Wings Productions shop and the gelatos 

are on sale right now!  I will also be using 2 stamp sets from the shop called Thankful and Sparkle

I started out by using the biggest star burst image in the sparkle stamp set 

and colored it with one of mybig brush pens and then stamped it out all over a 

piece of white cardstock that I cut down to a standard sizecard front. 

 I repeated this same process using the next two star burst images in the 

stamp set with a different color blue big brush pen until I ended up with this. 

Next I pulled out my gelatos and added color all over my card front in random 

places.

To blend the colors in I used a sponge to rub the color all over the cardstock 

until I got the look I liked.  I went back in with more color and blended with 

a sponge about 2 or three times.  Next time I do this I will use a thicker 

cardstock or maybe even watercolor paper.  This is what my finished 

background looked like after blending in the gelatos with my sponge. 

From here I added my sentiment from the Thankful stamp set in black ink 

and a few tiny bling pieces to the smallest star bursts.  Last step was to add 

to a black layer piece and apply to my card base!  

This was my first time playing with my big brush pens and I really love using 

them to stamp out images!  If you have not yet tried these out I highly 

recommend them!  They would be perfect for multicolored images!Thanks so
