Glitter Love





This is my second post today.  For my Papertrey April Blog Hop post, please click here.

I am squeaking in under the wire with two cards for this week's CAS-ual Fridays CFC49 challenge.  I just couldn't let such a fabulous sketch get away without trying it.  I had a couple of ideas come to me this morning in spin class, and had a chance to try one of them.  I am also using the glitter die cut technique shown in this week's Make it Monday #63.


Hawaiian Shores



Hibiscus Burst


I made two cards to try out two slightly different layouts.   I will leave these cards for each of my daughters on my next trip away.  The video suggests using a Xyron machine to adhere the glitter.  Mine is too small for these hearts, so I used some PeelnStick double sided adhesive sheets I found in my stash.  I'm pretty sure I got it at Michaels a while back.


Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Heart Prints, Mixed Messages (Hawaiian Shores), Heart Prints, Paper Smooches Pretty Phrases (Hibiscus Burst)
Paper:  White, Aqua Mist, Sweet Blush
Other:  Heart Prints Die, MS Glitter




Thanks for Visiting

    I love glitter! I usually just use glue but your way is much cleaner looking. Very cute.

    Joyce, just too much fun! Love all of that glitter too, and like you said perfect for both challenges. I'm going to have to give this technique a try, maybe this weekend. Both are fabulous!

    I saw these over on the CAS-ual Fridays site and loved those glittery hearts. Also love how completely different each one looks just from moving the sentiment. :)
