Art Glitter Spring Time Card

Spring Time Card

Heather decided she would like to share with you a bit of spring!!  

You will need the following:

• Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue & Ultra fine Metal Tip
• Art Glitters:  #208 Fauna, #267 Cheeky Pink, and #37 Ice 
• Pink Scrapbook paper
• pink cards stock
• doily
• old brush
• flowers
• ribbon
• Gecko Galz image
• scissors

Step One

Heather Started out with cutting out her images, and inking all of her pieces with Ranger's Frayed Burlap.  She tied a nice seam binding bow at the top of her card using her bow it all tool.  

She used her Designer dries clear glue with a brush, and she applied glue to the whole doily, then applied Fauna Glitter.

She applied more glue to her focal image, and then used the brush to spread it around.

She then applied Fauna glitter to this piece as well.
Next she added some dots of glue to the green stamp image.  

Heather used Celery green glitter.  Next she used her fine tip applicator to outline the banner and added cheeky pink glitter.

Heather added some glue to her foam brush, then used it to brush some glue onto the edges of a mulberry rose.  She did the same thing with the two smaller pink roses.

Fauna glitter was used on all of the roses.

Heather used her fine tip applicator to add dots of glue to the outer edge of her card, and lines of glue added to the blue flag piece.  Cheeky pink and Ice glitters were used.
Here are a few close ups of her card below.

Heather loves the springy feel of her card.  Here is a close up of her roses below.

Directions

Step 1

Heather started out by stamping the Penny Black Large Dahlia, large leave, and "Thank You" sentiment using Art Glitter Transparency Pad black ink onto white cardstock.  She cut out the stamped images.  She added a blue polka dot piece of scrap paper to a Tim #8 manila tag with Designer Dries clear glue.  She Created a smaller tag out of a piece of pink polka dot scrap paper.  Both tag edges and the "Thank you" sentiment were inked using Ranger's Vintage Photo Distress ink.  Holes were created using a Crop-O-Dile punch.  She used a Martha Stewart lace punch to punch some of the Scrap paper.

Step 2

Heather used an orange piece of chalk to color in the large Penny Black Dahlia.

Step 3

Heather used a green piece of chalk to color in the large Penny Black leaves.

Step 4
Heather used a magenta piece of chalk to color in the Penny Black "Thank you" sentiment box.  Below you will see how she used a tiny cotton ball and an alligator clip to spread out her chalk.

Step 5

Heather used the Sticky tape on the back of the tiny orange chevron bag, and scrap piece of pink paper.

Step 6

Heather cut the punched strip to size, applied the Designer Dries clear glue to it, and tucked it in under the orange chevron bag.  She then adhered the pink paper and used the Designer Dries clear glue to adhere the orange ribbon to the orange chevron bag.

Step 7

Heather then added the orange bag (with tag insert) to the blue poka dot base.  She then set her Penny black images on her project to check for placement.

Step 8

Heather used the Ultra Fine Tip and Designer's Dry Clear glue to outline the leaves.

Step 9

Next she used the Ultra Fine tip applicator and Designer's Dry Clear glue to outline the Penny Black Dahlia.  

Step 10
 #94 Key Lime glitter was applied to the leaves, and #350 Butterscotch glitter was applied to the Dahlia and the outlined areas on the orange chevron bag.  Then she used the Fine tip applicator with the Designer Dries Clear Glue to add dots to the bag.

Step 11
 Heather used Ranger's Barn Door Distress ink and the Small Dahlia, full small dahlia, and small leaves stamps and created her own background on the pink tag.  She added a "Dream" text box with sticky tape, and inked the edges with Ranger's Vintage Photo distress ink.  Next she added Designer Dries clear glue in the same manner to the edges of the tag.  Please refer to photo below for placement.

Step 12
 Heather continued to add more Designer Dries Clear glue to the edge of tag and the edge of text box.  She then added the #7 Red Rose glitter to the edge of tag, and the #352 Chamois around the text box.  Please refer to photo below for placement.

Step 13
Heather used Pop dots to elevate her Penny Black Dahlia and leaves above the orange chevron bag.  She used the Fine Tip Applicator, applied a line of glue around the edge of the pink scrap paper and "Thank you" text box and applied the #7 Red Rose glitter (she applied it to the little dots in the white part of the orange chevron bag as well).  She added the glue in the same manner to the "Just for You" text box and applied the #183 Blue Angel glitter.  A bow was created out of the same orange ribbon and glued in place with the Designer Dries Clear Glue.

Here is the finished piece.  Orange Seam binding was added to the pink tag top, and Pink with White polka dot ribbon was added to the blue tag base (this ribbon was inked with Ranger's Vintage Photo distress ink).  

Here is a couple close ups.

Butterflies and Blossoms Greeting Card

 

Supply List:

      Razzle Dazzle Basic Kit by Art Glitter: Flamingo Pink, Cheeky Pink and Astro Turf and Designer Dries Clear Adhesive (DDCA)

      Black Wing Microfine Opaque Glitter

      Spoon Man!  Spoons

      Paint Brush

      Dry Adhesive (a tape runner)

     12" x 6" brown card stock folded in half to create a 6" x 6" card

     5 1/2" x 5 1/2" vintage flower patterned paper (Madeline by Prima)

     4 1/2" x 4 1/2" brown card stock for mat

     4" x 4" white card stock

     Tea Dye Distress Ink Pad

      Ink Tool

     4 roses or flowers (Prima)

     Butterfly Punch (Martha Stewart)

     Chipboard Scroll (Tim Holtz)

 

Instructions:

     Prepare the card base by adhering the patterned paper and the brown mat paper to the card base using a dry adhesive such as a tape runner. 

 

     Ink the edges of the white card stock using the distress ink pad and ink tool.  Adhere it to the card base.  Punch 2 butterflies from the white card stock and lay them aside.

 

      Using the paint brush add the DDCA to small sections of the chipboard scroll and sprinkle the Astro Turf Glitter over the glue.  Let sit several seconds to allow to adhere and then shake off the excess.  Continue to work in small sections until the entire scroll is covered and allow to sit and dry completely.  If there are areas that need a little touch up use the edge of the paint brush to dab a little glue into the area and add more glitter.  

Add a line of DDCA down the center of the butterfly and sprinkle some of the Black Wing Microfine Opaque Glitter using one of the Spoon Man! spoons.  Tap off excess glitter back into the jar. 

Pour a small amount of the DDCA onto your work surface and using the paint brush spread a small amount of the adhesive on a small area of one of the butterfly wings.  Lightly sprinkle some of the glitter (either the Flamingo Pink or Cheeky Pink) onto the adhesive and allow to sit for just a minute to adhere securely.  Sprinkle off the excess and continue to work until the entire butterfly is completed.  Do the second butterfly in the same manner with the second choice of glitter.  Allow them to completely dry.  If an area is not completely covered carefully add more adhesive and glitter.  It is also okay to allow some areas to show through which will add a little pattern to the butterfly wing.  NOTE:  You will want to spread the adhesive on carefully with the paint brush so not to tear the paper butterfly. 

Add a little of the DDCA to the bottom of each butterfly to adhere them onto the card.  Also, add some to the scroll and add it to the corner.  Place the flowers the corner and on the scroll as shown and your card is now finished.

A Rose Is A Rose

You've probably seen some glitter tattoos on TV, but did you know that Art Glitter now carries that body glue and tattoo stencils?  A couple of weeks ago I did a post to show how easy it is to do the body glitter tattoo, but now I have a great way to re-use the stencil.

For this project I used:   Art Glitter Rose Tattoo Stencil (used), Ultra-fine Glitter (#299 - Celery, #48 -  Emerald, #324 - Country Red, #355 - Sunrise, and #86 - Angel Dust)  Clear Scraps mini-album page - Deco, Tombow multi-purpose glue, spray adhesive, Beacon Zip-dry adhesive, Lime green Copic Marker, Pink Chevron paper and Pink paper from Basic Grey's True Love collection, Card blank (from Staples), Stamp from Red Rubber Designs (Friendship Blocks), Staz-on Black Ink, Rhinestone swirl from Want2Scrap's Build Your Own Bling, Light Green Swiss dot Ribbon, Viva Decor Glitter Pen - Lime, a couple of small paintbrushes, a soft brush or make-up brush.

Remove the protective plastic from the acrylic page and center the tattoo stencil.  Press down completely to make sure there are no ripples or gaps between the stencil and acrylic.

Put a few drops of Tombow multi-purposed glue in the open areas of the stencil and brush out with paint brush.  Be sure to cover all of the exposed acrylic with glue.

Remove the stencil and set aside for future use.

Once glue is dry (clear), dip a clean, dry brush into Emerald Green glitter and pick up just a little in your brush.  Carefully brush it onto the wide ind of the leaves.  Clean the brush by brushing on paper towel or cloth.  Dip it into Celery glitter and brush the glitter onto the rest of the leaves.  Clean your brush again, and brush the Country Red glitter on the inside edges of the rose petals.

Brush Sunrise Glitter over the remaining areas of the rose.  Use a soft brush or make-up brush to brush away excess glitter.

Turn acrylic over and spray with spray adhesive and dust with Angel Dust Glitter.

Still working on the back of the acrylic, use a lime Copic marker to color the glitter around the edge.

Assemble the card by layering pink and pink chevron paper.  Wrap with lime ribbon. 

Add sentiment stamped on a piece of pink paper.  

Glue Pink stack to the card base.  

Glue Acrylic piece in place.

Add Swirl of Rhinestones from Want2Scrap

Add bow at the top corner of the acrylic.

Finish with dots of Glitter Pen in corners of pink card and on the points of the acrylic.

Glittering Mosaics

Linda here with a cute little technique for glittering mosaics. Using scraps of pattern paper I cut 1-inch squares with my paper trimmer. These could be easily punched as well with a 1-inch square punch.

After all the squares were cut I ran them through the Xyron 2.5" Create-a-Sticker to put adhesive on the backside. Then I flipped the Xyron sticker sheet over and ran it through the machine again so the adhesive would be on both sides of the squares.

For this project I used Art Glitter Desert 266 and Goldenrod 305 Ultrafine Transparent glitters. I had several colors out but then opted to use only two contrasting colors. It was easy to put the glitters on the squares by simply pouring a good amount of each glitter into bead trays and using tweezers to dip the squares enough to coat one side.

I then placed them evenly apart on a background piece of paper and cut it down to fit an A2 card front when done. I actually started this as a scrapbook page (above) but it wasn't working for me so I switched over to a greeting card. I matted the mosaic paper and wrapped it with a pretty May Arts ribbon before adhering it to the card.

It still needed an embellishment so I reached for my good ol' corrugated heart stand-by and roughed it up a bit before brushing on some Designer Dries Clear and sprinkled it with some of the same glitters.

 

Sparkle On!
