Holly Noel

Ingredients

• Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue
• Ultra fine Metal Tip
• Art Glitters: #208 Fauna, #109 Cavalado, #162 Just Peachy, #142 Coral Reef, #37 Ice, #299 Celery and #312 Fresh Green.
• Tombow Foam Tabs
• Collage Sheet
• white card stock 
• digital cutter or Scissors
• crop o dile
• beading wire
• beads
• pink seambinding
• Edna Lace

Heather printed out her collage sheet, and used her MTC program to form cut lines, then used her Black Cat Cougar Digital cutter to cut out her pieces.  You of course can use your own digital programs and cutters as well as cut out your pieces by hand.

Next Heather inked all of her edges with Ranger's Vintage Photo Distress ink.  She glued the front and back aqua blue snowflake package pieces together using the Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue.

Next she used the Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue to add her holly bases to the front and back of the package.  Make sure when gluing your pieces together, that you line up your holly backgrounds, and that you leave enough room on your package for your "Noel" and "Merry Christmas" images.  Please refer to Heather's photo below for placement of the holly backgrounds.

Heather added some lace, then glued down her leaves using the Ultra fine Metal Tip and Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue.  

There are 6 leaves on the collage sheet, and they fit in specific places so please refer to Heather's Photos for placement of the leaves.

Below is the front of the ornament.  Tombow Foam Tabs were added to the Holly berries and backs of the Text images.  Please refer to the photo below for placement.  She also used her Crop O Dile to punch a hole at the top of the Holly background.

Now the fun part!!  Heather used the  Ultra fine Metal Tip and Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue to outline her gift package, then applied #37 Ice Art Glitter!  

Next Heather  Ultra fine Metal Tip and Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue to outline the leaves and veins.  She added #299 Celery to the two lighter leaves and #109 Cavalado to the darker leaf.

Heather added glue to the holly berries then added #162 Just Peachy to the lighter berries and  #142 Coral Reef to the darker berry.  She then used the Ultra fine Metal Tip and Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue  to add glue to the NOEL image.  

#142 Coral Reef Art Glitter was added to the NOEL image.

Heather added more glue around the opening for hanger and around the Noel Image and applied #208 Fauna Glitter.  Then she added some more dots of glue to her package background.  A tiny pink seam binding bow was added under the Holly berries.

 #37 Ice Glitter was added to the dots of glue.

Decorating the back will be similar to the front.  Heather Added a piece of jewelry wire that she folded in half, and twisted a piece at the top.  Then shaped it into a heart shape.  She then threaded a few beads onto the wire, then place one piece of the wire trough the hanging hole.  The other wire was brought around the side to the front, and the two wires were twisted together.  Heather then curled the ends of the wire.  See Heather's Photo below for placement of the foam tabs onto the Merry Christmas Text Images.

Please refer to Heather's photo below for placement of the leaves, berries and text images.  The leaves were simply glued on like the front, and foam tabs were added to the berries and sentiment, also like the front.

Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue was added to the back similar to the front, with the only exceptions being that Heather didn't add the Glitter to the actual text on this side, and she used #312 Fresh Green Art Glitter on the lighter leaves.

Here is a close up of the front.

One last look at the finished front.

Here is a Vintage Christmas Set of Tags and Pillow Box that Heather designed.  They Can be used as a Count Down To Christmas Project.

Friendship That Sparkles

Supplies:
Assorted card stock
Friend Stamp (CTMH A1142)
Art Glitter Vintage Glass Glitter - #623 Rose Bud
Art Glitter Microfine Opaque #507 Black wing
Double sided adhesive in two widths
Black gems
Die Cut shapes

December is traditionally a time to spend with family and friends.  Like so many others many of my dear friends live far away.  So this month I am making a point to send cards (not just my family holiday cards) to some of those friends.  In that spirit I want to share a lovely card that I created last week while I enjoyed a crafting day with a dear friend!

 Begin by stamping on die cut shapes and then layering on a slightly larger black die cut.  Using double sided tape in two different widths place adhesive in two stripes at the bottom of the card front.  Remove the backing of the bottom adhesive and apply Vintage Glass Glitter- Rosebud, then remove the backing from the thinner tape and apply Black wing glitter.  Add a few gems to finish off the card for an elegant look, yet easy to create card.

Thanks for stopping by to see my creations.

Ornament Fun With Laura

For this post, I created a cute little ornament.  I used a couple of different clear and white glitters to create the "snowy" look.  I used a variegated, Microfine Glitter to create a vintage look on the frame. Here it is:

MATERIALS:
Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear Adhesive
Ultrafine Metal Tip
Art Glitter Fantasy Fiber in Snowflake
Art Glitter Microfine Pearlescent #533 Mini Pearl
Art Glitter Ultrafine Hologram #389 Leia
Art Glitter Microfine Opaque #518 Oak
Globecraft Memories Make Your Own Ornament
Figurine (I got a package of 3 at the Dollar Store)
Cotton Ball
Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Tarnished Brass
Manual Die Cut Machine
Tim Holtz Snowflake Embossing Folder
Big Bite
Brad (I used a white star shaped brad)
Jump Rings
Connie Crystal
May Arts Ribbon
Craft Knife

DIRECTIONS:
1)  Use the fine metal tip on the Designer Dries Clear Glue to add "snow" edging on the figurine with Pearlescent Glitter.  The pearlescent is the most opaque white, which is important for the snow to show up.
2)  Pull cotton ball apart a little and adhere to the bottom of the globe with glue.  Adhere figurine on the top.
3)  Place some of the Fantasy Fiber around the figurine to look like snow that has been kicked up.

4)  Paint all three of the ornament frames with the Distress Paint.  Let dry.
5)  Run the two outside frames through the die cut machine with the embossing folder.
6)  Glue the edge of the globe (with the figure in it) to the interior frame.  (The one with the loop).  Let dry a little.
7)  Add some of the Leia glitter in the dome.  Initially, this was supposed to act as a snow globe, but with the static, some of the glitter stuck to the sides of the dome, while the rest found its way down the side of the cotton ball.  After some consideration, I decided that I liked it this way.  The glitter in the cotton ball makes the "snow" appear prettier.  The glitter on the sides of the dome look like a cross between snow and frost.  Although I used holographic glitter, I think it lent the project a vintage look.

8)  Glue the other side of the globe onto the other side of the center piece.  Let dry.
9)  Meanwhile, put a little Designer Dries Clear on your finger and rub lightly over the top of the frame.  Make sure to use the side that has the snowflakes indented.  Work in a very small section at a time.
10)  Pour the Oak Glitter over the top of the glue and tap off the excess.  Let dry.
11)  Repeat steps 9 and 10 with the other frame.
12)  Glue the frames to the outside of the domes.  Let dry.

13)  Use the Big Bite to attach a brad to the bottom of the ornament.
14)  Attach the crystal using jump rings.
15)  Attach a jump ring to the top.
16)  Tie a ribbon around the top to create the hanger.
17)  Tie a ribbon around the bottom.

Glitter Fun With Resin

I have been having the best time using the bezels from Spellbinders with the matching dies!  I also am loving all things resin.  I have used Enviro Tex for years and now we also have ICE Resin!  To be honest...I LOVE THEM BOTH.   What I REALLY love is the way the VINTAGE GLASS GLITTER looks under the resin!

I start with any bezel and then cut sticky paper with my Mixed Media machine and put in the base of the Bezel.  I then cover it with Glass Glitter.  I shake of the excess and put in whatever I want and finish off with resin! 

I will finish off the pieces when I get time but wow this is fun!

Happy Creating!
