One of the things Clare loves about Art Glitter is the range of colors!  She knows she can find a color glitter to match any project she is working on!  This will come in handy with wedding season approaching.  Clare used the perfect color Art Glitter to make beautiful barrettes for the flower girl. 

She started by covering a Darcy barrette with ribbon, gluing it in place with a hot glue gun.  Clare likes to use a low temp glue gun to avoid burns!  She then punched some leaves in Art Glitter Sticky paper.  She peeled off the protective layer first.   Clare finds it easy to just dip the leaf in the glitter on the side of the leaf in the light color green. 

Here Clare used 280 Lime Rind Ultrafine Opaque.  She then dipped the same leaf in the darker color green to cover the center of the leaf, this is 150 Poison Ivy. 

Once the leaves were made, she glued them on top of the ribbon on the barrette. 

For the flower, Clare cut a rolled rose using a Sizzix die and some plastic packaging from a embossing folder she bought:  reduce, reuse, recycle!  She has even used the plastic lid to the salad packaging from the grocery store to make flowers!  You can find more photos of the packaging flowers here.   While the rose was still flat, she covered the center of each petal using 297 Hibiscus Ultrafine Transparent glitter and the ultrafine glue tip, and Art Glitter Dries Clear glue. 

She made a second row of color, again using the ultrafine tip and 304 Petal Pink Ultrafine transparent glitter. 

Once these had dried completely, Clare rolled the rose and glued it at the center using a glue gun.  For the flower center she glued a dew drop from The Robin's Nest.  She gently bent the petals once the glue had dried completely.  She then attached the flower to the barrette on top of the leaves.

Glitter Banners For Your Pages

Glitzy banners are in. So are other things in the scrappy industry. If it Glitzy is Glamorous.

It is all the rave so i thought I would give it a go and make my own banners.

Supplies:

Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent # 360 Pretty Pink

Art Glitter Ultrafine Pearlescent # 181 Mint Chiffon

Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent # 93 Lemone

Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive

 I started by cutting a banner from the sticky tape

Next I added my glamorous glitter and then repeated again.

I also had a few wooden arrows that I decided needed to have a little

sprinkle of glitter as well.

Here is a little close up.

I think it turned out fabulous!

Kiss Me Whether I'm Irish or not- Canvas

Supplies:

8 x 10 Canvas

Acrylic Paint

Vinyl cut with St Pattie's day word art

Art Glitter Dries clear Adhesive

Art Glitter Inca Gold Glitter

Paint Brush

Begin by painting an 8 x 10 canvas green with acrylic paint.

This is the vinyl word art I used for the canvas.  I purchased the file in the SIL store, and adjusted the size to fit the canvas.  It was cut using my silhouette cameo.

Apply the vinyl to the canvas.

Apply Art Glitter dies clear adhesive to select elements on the canvas.  I added dots and glittered the heart and the word "gold" 

Apply the glitter while the adhesive is still wet.  Please note that the adhesive will take longer to dry on the vinyl than it does on paper or the canvas.  You may want to let it set overnight before brushing off excess glitter.

Shake off excess glitter.  I like to use a soft brush (make up brush) to gently brush off the excess after removing the vast majority.

Thanks for stopping by to see my creations.

After Clare's children had been in school a few years, they insisted on wearing green on St. Patrick's day.  Turns out, when they didn't wear green on that day, they were pinched.  Not wanting this holiday to have such a negative association, Clare decided it was time to use another St. Patrick's Day tradition at home and made a St. Patrick's Day Banner.

Clare started by creating a Celtic inspired banner using Cricut Pretty Pennants and Paper Lace cartridges.  She welded the two images in Cricut Craft Room software and cut them in green card stock.  

She covered some chipboard letters with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive and used Green Gala Glitz for the letter "K" and "S".  For the letters "i" and "M" Clare used Green Vibe Dazzlers.  She also used Sherwood Dazzlers for the "s" in the rectangle.  For the harp below, Clare used a Silhouette file.

"Dreamy" Valentine

Would you like to know how to make a simple Valentine card that is still full of luscious glitter?  I have the SIMPLE secret.

Adhesive paper.  That is the secret.  Well, that and the Microfine Glitter.

MATERIALS:
Sticky Backed Paper
Microfine Opaque Glitter 528 Crimson
Ultrafine Transparent Glitter 85 Crystal
Dreamweaver Stencil LJ928 Swirly Hearts
Soap
Stencil Brush
Adhesive
Card Stock
May Arts Ribbon

DIRECTIONS:
1)  Soap up the back of the stencil.  Make sure to get a fine layer of soap on the back.  This is the releasing agent so that you can remove the stencil from the paper later.
2)  Brush off any excess soap with a stencil brush.
3)  Place the stencil, soap side down, on the sticky side of the Sticky Paper.
4)  Cover it with Microfine Opaque Glitter in 528 Crimson.  The Microfine glitter really gets into the grooves of the stencil and makes the image crisp and clean.  Rub it in a little, because the fine texture can some times fly around.
5) Brush the extra glitter off using the stencil brush.
6)  Place the project face down on a table and carefully remove the sticky paper.
7)  Cover the now exposed background with 85 Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter.
8)  Assemble the card using adhesive, card stock and  ribbon.

Done--simple and sparkly!  Thanks for stopping by today.  Come by and visit my blog at www.rememberinglifesmoments.blogspot.com any time!

Valentine LOVE

Supplies
Art Glitter Dries Clear Glue
Art Glitter Ultrafine Tip
Art Glitter 332 Red Rocket Chunky Opaque Hologram Glitter
Art Glitter Small Transparency
Snap 'n Peal
Heartfelt Creations Timeless Amour Custom Die
Lattice Lace Envelope Wrap Silhouette

This Valentine's Day, Clare wanted to make an envelope as pretty as the card.  So, she found an envelope wrap at the Silhouette store that coordinated with a Heartfelt Creations die and cut it in red card stock.  She highlighted heart shapes in the pattern by adding Art Glitter Dries Clear Glue using the Ultra fine tip and Art Glitter (see photo above).

For the card, Clare cut the Heartfelt Creations Timeless Amour Custom die in the Snap 'n Peal.  She pulled off the protective layer and adhered it to the Art Glitter Small Transparency (photo above).  She removed the second protective layer and added Art Glitter Red Rocket Chunky Opaque Hologram Glitter.  She used Momenta stickers for the word LOVE.

She tied the envelope wrapper closed, much like she would tie a ribbon around a present.  She tied one side first, threading from top to bottom.  Threaded the ribbon up to the top for the opposite sides and then tied a bow.  Such a simple elegant card and envelope!
