Sometimes you just need simple, cute cards.  Here’s one I made the other day:

To make it I took some Sticky Back Canvas and had my Cricut cut out three 1 1/2″ circles.  I then sprayed them with “Key Lime Pie” and “Pieces of Heart” Glimmer Mist so that the colors blended together in places.

After I dried them with a heat gun I stamped on them using the “Regal Classic” Screen Prints and black StazOn ink.

Then I used a punch to punch out some scalloped ovals out of dictionary paper which I then sprayed with “Crushed Shells” Glimmer Mist.

To fold the ovals into a flower-ish shape I first creased it across the center vertically.

Then I creased it again across the center horizontally.

Then apply adhesive to the back side of it and adhere it to the Sticky Back Canvas circle.

Then, I threaded a button and adhered it to the flower.

Lastly I applied them to the front of my card that I had previously sewn with my sewing machine and stamped with one of my favorite stamps.  Since the back of the Sticky Back Canvas has adhesive on it you can just remove the protective backing and stick it right on the card.

Here’s a heritage layout I did that features my Great Grandparents way back in 1929…my Great Grandma was 27 in this photo!  Both my Great Grandparents have passed on, but this layout will be a great way to remember them.

To make this layout I started off by laying down some screens and spraying the background paper with Crush Shells and Patina Glimmer Mist.

I then sprayed the Irresistible tag  and Irresistible chipboard piece with Strawberry Shortcake Chalkboard Mist.   I cut the tag in half and then inked the edges.

Next I sprayed the back side of two pieces of ribbon with Crushed Shells and Pinecone Glimmer Mist.  I love how the Glimmer Mist completely covered the back of the ribbon, but only soaked into the thinner parts of it so that when I flipped it back to the front side it looked really cool!  I wrinkled it up into a ball before letting it dry to give it an old antiqued look.

For the flowers I sprayed some of Prima’s  white paper flowers with some of the new Glimmer Mist colors: Pomegrante, Dragonfly, and Sugar Maple.  Once they were dry I stamped on them using clear embossing ink and the Tattered Textures clear stamps and then sprinkled gold embossing powder over them.  I love how it looks once the embossing powder is heated up with a heat gun!!

Once all my pieces were ready I assembled the page and used foam adhesive to raise up some of the elements to give it a bit more dimension.  I also hand stamped my journaling and added a few other embellishments.  Here’s a close up:

Have a glimmery day!!

I had heard about using this technique with acrylic paint and thought I’d try it with Glimmer Mist…it works great!  You get an interesting mix of the colors of Glimmer Mist you use and the glimmer goes in the cling wrap’s wrinkles making it look really cool.  I made this video to show you how I created the background paper I used on the layout below.  On it you can see the glimmer a little better then you can see in photos.

Here’s a scrapbook page I made with this technique:

I embellished the page by stamp embossing with a Tattered Angles Screen Prints stamp.  I  also sprayed Glimmer Mist on a Irresistible Chipboard heart and tucked a bit of Crepe Ribbon behind it.  There’s a bit of Glimmer Glam brushed on the “water” Thickers and the Irresistible Chipboard heart.   I also sprayed some of my favorite Marshmallow Glimmer Mist onto the patterned paper cardstock.

I’d really love to see how you apply this technique to your papercrafts or mixed media projects…add your link in the comments!!

Have a crafty day !

I’m totally in love with the new Tattered Angles Crepe Ribbon!!  The designs on them are just perfect and it loves Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam!!

I made these flowers out of the Crepe Ribbon and used the Crepe Ribbon with the i-Top tool to make a nice big brad to go in the flower’s center…the perfect way to coordinate!  I made a two-part video on how to make some cute flowers with the Crepe Ribbon, Glimmer Mist, and Glimmer Glam.  Part one is how to make the flowers, part two is how to make the brads.

And here’s a scrapbook layout I made with the flowers:

Here’s a fun technique to use to jazz up backgrounds on your paper crafts and chances are that you already have everything you need to get started.  I made this video to show you how to do it.

And here’s some fun cards I made with that technique…

The butterfly card’s background paper was made using glossy photo paper, Sunflower Glimmer Mist, Dreamsickle Glimmer Mist, and of course kosher salt.

For the butterfly Glimmer Chip I sprayed it with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist, Patina Glimmer Mist, and Robin’s Egg Blue Glimmer Mist and then once it was dry I ran a ink pad over the top of it so that the embossed details would stand out.  I then embossed the entire butterfly with clear embossing powder.   I also bent the tops of it’s wings to give the illusion of it flying.

The dragonfly card’s background was made with glossy photo paper, Rum Raisin Glimmer Mist, Turquoise Blue Glimmer Mist, and  kosher salt.

The dragonfly was made by stamping with StazOn ink directly onto my kosher salted background.  I added some details to the dragonfly with a Sakura glaze pen.
