HAPPY NEW YEAR by Fran

 

I think I got my glitter fix making this card, lol.   I have a stamp set called Dot Spot.  I placed the various dots on my Fiskars Stamp press in the pattern I wanted for my card.  Added VersaMark Watermark to the various dot stamps and stamped the front of the card.   Then to get the WOW effect I wanted I coated the stamped dots with WOW! Embossing Powder (Metallic Platinum Sparkle). The Happy New Year sentiment and banner were created using the Portrait Silhouette. And used 3-D foam pads behind the banner for dimension.   I added the Metallic Platinum Sparkle embossing powder to the edges of the banner using VersaMark Watermark.  Oh a little, just a little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter on the sentiment.

On the inside of the card I cut a 4-1/2” square in white cardstock. I added some of the dots (embossed with metallic platinum sparkle) on two corners to bring the front of the card inside.   And I added silver glitter tape* to the top and bottom edges.

The overall size of the card is 5-1/2” square.

*Glitter Tape was purchased from Cutters Creek’s one of many clubs offered by Kim Bush.  The clubs offer a number of various creating supplies for a set cost each month for 6 months.  The clubs enable you to build on your supplies.

Twelve Days of Christmas–Day 5 by Fran

 

Welcome to the Cutters Creek Design Team’s “Twelve days of Christmas”.  We are so happy you are joining us.  Today is the 5th day of our event.  Here is my contribution.

Details:  The Card and Front Panel are made from Kraft Card Stock.  The checkered paper is from my stash to match the Kraft Card Stock.  The Holly embellishments are by Kaiser Craft Wood Flourishes.  I added the berries for more dimension and they are made from paper clay.  I colored the berries using Festive Berries Distress Paint by Tim Holtz.  The holly leaves were painted with Evergreen Bough Distress Paint also.  And for a little extra pazazz I used Inka Gold by Viva (Gold and Green yellow) on the Holly embellishments. 

The snow flakes were punched using a Martha Stewart punch. I coated the snowflakes with Inkssentials Glossy Accents and covered them with Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter (this glitter is awesome – I love it!).  On the centers of the snowflakes I used vinyl sticker dot sparklers in red.  And added Glossy Accents to the tips of the snowflakes.

The sentiment was cut using the Silhouette Portrait.  I used a Wink of Stella glitter brush in gold to color the sentiment.  And behind the sentiment is covered with the Clear Glitter using the Wink of Stella brush (you can use a Glitter Pen to get the same affect).  Then I added Glossy Accents dots in background.  And finished off the card using a Gelly Roll pen in white to make the dashes.

You are probably thinking I went crazy with glitter and glossy accents and you are right!  I couldn’t stop, lol.  But I love how it turned out.  I hope you do too.

Thank you so much for visiting today.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for day 6 to see another great project from the Design Team.  Please leave a comment and let us know what you think of our projects.
