Gazebo Christmas Card


Gazebo Christmas Card
featuring 
"Northwoods stamps" & "Art Glitter"

Ingredients

This month we are happy to be teaming up with Northwoods!

To celebrate, Art Glitter is having a 15% off retail sale of any $25 purchase.  Just use code NW15 at Check out!



Directions
Step 1
Heather started out by using the Northwoods Gazebo Stamp and the Art Glitter Black ink pad to stamp her image onto white card stock.  Heather decided to go old school, and leave out the shading, and go for a "Retro Look."  


Step 2
Heather used # BG45 for the sky, E09 for the trees, YG17 for the Pine Trees, and DR3 for the bows and outer circle (you will see this later).
Step 3
Heather cut out a 3.5" square of the red card stock, then used her Perfect Layers Ruler to cut the piece of red striped paper.  A lace punch by Martha Stewart was used with the Gecko Galz light blue striped paper.  All edges were inked with Ranger's Vintage Photo Distress ink.
Step 4
Heather Flipped her card over and place a strip of the Sticky tape across the Top of the card.  She also attached all her paper layers using the sticky tape.
Step 5
Heather used the Perfect Layers Rulers to size the red striped paper.  She has one end at 1 inch and one at 3/4 inch, where the sides were cut with the 1/8 inch.  She then trimmed her punched pieces (lining them up with the edges of the red square).
Step 6
Heather put a strip of the red sticky tape across the back of the top edge of card, then applied her Red Swirl Ribbon using enough ribbon to create a bow on the front of the card.
Step 7
The Ultra fine tip applicator and Designer dries clear glue were used to add some glue to the bare trees.
Step 8
Heather added Camel Glitter to the bare trees.  Heather turned her stamped image upside down, then used the fine tip applicator to add little commas of glue to the pine trees. You will notice in the photo how there glue has a dot shape with a tail pointing toward the top of the stamped image.  It is easier to get this look with your piece turned.
Step 9
Heather used Amazon glitter on the pine trees, then added more glue to the large pine tree.
Step 10
Heather continued to use the DDCG and UFTA to apply glue to the red bows and to the Gazebo.  
Step 11
Then Garnet Glitter was applied to the bows, and Poupon was added to the Gazebo (wood areas).  More glue added to the snow areas (ground and Gazebo roof).
 
Step 12
Fairy Dust Glitter was added to snow areas.  Then Heather colored the outside circle with the DR3 marker.
Step 13
Heather used the Tombo Foam tabs to elevate her stamped circle image piece from the red cardstock square.  Heather used the Designer dries clear glue without the fine tip applicator to apply larger dots of glue around the edges of the circle.  Then sprinkled on the Garnet Glitter.  She also tied a bow in the ribbon and used more of the red sticky tape to hold it in place on the front.
Step 14
Heather cut a tiny piece of the red sticky tape and placed in the upper left of her card between the red ribbon and red cardstock square, on the blue striped punched piece.
Step 15
Heather attached the ribbon to the red sticky tape, then cut another tiny piece of the red sticky tape and placed in the upper left of her card (refer to photo, kind of hard to see, just below Heather's watermark).
Step 16
Next Heather flipped up the end of the ribbon piece, so that the red cardstock square is fully visible (no ribbon covering).  She did the same for the other side.
Step 17
Heather used the DDCG and UFTA to apply glue to the deep ivory roses and leaf trim.  Little dots of glue were added to the red cardstock square (please refer to photo)
Step 18
Heather did the same thing for all corners of the red cardstock square.
Step 19 
Heather added Chamois glitter to all the little dots of glue.  After that dried, she attached the focal piece to her cream card stock card base.  More glue was added to the edges of the card, and more Chamois glitter was added.  A tiny red button tied with cotton candy baker's twine was added under the bow and above the focal circle of Heather's card.
(This is a close up of the top of Heather's Card).
Step 20
Tiny sentiment box "Joy" was placed on the card using more foam tabs.  It was done using the UFTA and DDCG and covered with Amazon glitter.
(this is a close up of the bottom of Heather's card).

First Communion

  For my final post on the wonderful Art Glitter Want 2 Scrap collaboration, I was asked to create with a gorgeous Cross Chipboard Album.  I used pictures from my niece's First Communion.  I modified the album by cutting the edge to fit the Beautiful Bling Borders--Fancy Waves.
I used Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear and a selection of gorgeous Microfine Glitters.  They were 507 Black Wing, 508 Silver Moon, 518 Oak and 521 Cayman. 
I used the Designer Dries Clear with the Ultrafine Metal Tip to select and glitter portions of the background papers.  I also used the Want to Scrap Nestabling Labels Eighteen to frame my niece and the words on the front cover.
One of my new favorite colors of glitter is the Oak Microfine.  I love it because it is actually a blended color of various golds.  You can see some of the color variations here:

 The word on this page was made by stamping with Distress Ink and then using Stamp N Bond Adhesive, heating it, and pouring glitter over the top.
 I also enhanced the background and used a Build Your Own Bling pack to add pretty swirls on several pages.
Thanks for stopping by today.  As you can see, a beautiful album makes a wonderful foundation for a project.  With Want 2 Scrap and Art Glitter, it is really easy to enhance anything!

Gated Chip Board Book

Hi everyone it's blog time. This month we are working with Want 2 Scrap and Art Glitter. While I don't ususally get much time to scrap I think I might actually get finished with this great book from Want 2 Scrap. Here are the products I have used so far:

Art Glitter

Shadow (720) Microfine Transparent
Silver Moon (508) Microfine Opaque
Cayman (521) Microfine Opaque
Monarch Microfine Opaque
Spoon Man
Dries Clear Adhesive
Ultrafine Metal Tip

Want 2 Scrap

Gate Book
Lock and Keys embellishments




I started by painting the gate black using a dabber paint and then added pearl and olive green and sort of marbed it together. When it was dry I added Shadow Microfine Transparent Glitter to the swirls to make it look like the moon was shining and giving it some hilights.

On the inside I added gray paper over the chip board and stanped the moon and clouds in purple and then glittered the moon with Cayman Microfine Opaque Glitter. I die cut the tree from the new die from Dreamweaver stencil and and hilighted the tree branches with Silver Moon Microfine Opaque glitter.


This is what is done so far, but keep checking my blog sommrstamping.blogspot.com to see how this book continues to grow.

Happy Birthday Friend


This month, Art Glitter is pairing with Penny Black.  I was so glad that I had the opportunity to use these gorgeous stamps!  For today's post, I have a materials list and a brief description of how I made this card.  Order from Art Glitter the entire month of July in the amount of $25 or over, use the code PB20, and you will receive 20% off your order total! And remember, Art Glitter is MADE IN THE USA!!!

MATERIALS:
Penny Black Stamp Kisses in the Sun
Penny Black Acrylic Stamp Set Simply the Best
Art Glitter Parchment Paper
Versafine Ink in Majestic Blue
Distress Ink in Faded Denim
Distress Ink Blending Tool
Non Stick Craft Sheet
Large Acrylic Block
Iron
Small, Sharp Scissors
Heat Tool
Needle
Black Thread
Adhesive
Card Stock
Patterned Paper

DIRECTIONS
1)  Stamp butterfly image on light colored card stock with Art Glitter black ink and heat set with tool.
2)  Stamp Happy Birthday across paper with Versafine Ink.  Fill the entire page.
3)  Stamp just the word friend from the acrylic stamp "you are a friend for life" across the top of the lighter blue paper.
4)  Cut around the outer, lower wind of the butterfly and then  rip all the way around the edges on the light card stock.
5)  Use the Distress Ink, Blending Tool and Craft Sheet to distress the edges of all of the papers.
6)  Use the Designer Dries Clear with the metal tip to color the foliage with the transparent glitters.  Put one color on per pass. I used a light, medium and dark glitter in each section.  The transparent glitter allows the beautiful detail of the stamp show through when the glue is dry.
 7)  Set up the iron.  Apply the Art Glitter Ink to the butterfly portion of the stamp.  Lay the Fantasy Film over the top, cover with the Parchment Paper and lay a medium iron on top for a few moments. Make six of these butterflies.
8)  Use the Designer Dries Clear and the metal tip to select words from the background and the word friend to glitter with the Microfine.


9)  Cut out, stack and adhere the centers of the butterflies in two groups of three.  
10)  Adhere the centers of the butterflies over their positions.  One will go where the stamp has placed it.  The other is up to you.
11)  Poke guide holes with needle and then stitch into place.
12)  Assemble the card.
 I just love the three dimensional look of the butterflies and the transparency of that Fantasy Film.  The sheen looks different depending on the lighting.  (That is why I included so many different pictures).  This is the first time that I ever used the Fantasy Film according to the packaged directions, and I have to say, I love it!  It is much easier to use than I thought and the results are gorgeous.
Thanks for stopping by today.  I was really excited to share this project with you. Stop by my blog any time at www.rememberinglifesmoments.blogspot.com.  Until next time, glitter on!
