Let’s see how our amazing Design Team added bling to their cards and crafty projects!

Christy added subtle bling to her adorable Fairy Friends thank you card by adding pretty sequins and glittery drops!

Franci‘s amazing Stitched Circle Tag gets it bling with a scattering of Chunky Glitter on the Cole’s ABCs letters!

Jessica created a sweet backstory for her delightful Frosty Fairy Friends card! These little fairies magically fix the Christmas lights that have burned out and add their pixie dust sparkle to the strings of lights! Jess used lots of glitter and silver glitter cardstock to create this magical bling!

Joyce‘s Woodland Critter Huggers are all decked out for the holidays with the Winter Add-On die set! She used our new Sparkle cardstock to give the cute accessories lots of bling!

Karin added just a little bling to her Winter Skies card using gold metallic watercolor and pretty gold sequins! This beautiful card features the Village Border die!

Samantha C created an awesome underwater Mermaid for You scene using Sparkle cardstock in the Autumn pack!

Samantha M used our adorable Yeti Set Go set make this unforgettably whimsical card! She used some super blingy cardstock to create that glimmery sky! Some of the big glitter chunks fell off so she added them to resemble falling snow, so clever!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next three weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 38 tomorrow!


Jessica’s Sparkly Pumpkin Spice Card!

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

Good morning! Jess here with a sparkly and cozy card for our current Inspiration Board challenge!

I loved the glittery photo in the Inspiration Board and decided to use that as my inspiration (as well as just the general sweet and cozy feel)! I started by applying liquid glue in a loose wash to a piece of white cardstock. Then I sprinkled it liberally with Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter and Prisma Glitter. I pressed it into the glue and added a little more Prisma Glitter until I couldn’t feel any stickiness from the adhesive. Finally I placed a piece of copy paper over the glitter and used a bone folder to burnish the glitter into the cardstock before setting it aside to dry completely. While it was drying I stamped the Pumpkin Spice mug, colored it with Copic markers, then die-cut it with the coordinating die.

I stamped the sentiment from Baaah Humbug onto Lucky Penny patterned paper from Watercolor Wishes with Versafine ink and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder before trimming it down to a fishtail banner. I trimmed the white panel down and adhered it to a card base using the same Lucky Penny paper. Then I added the mug and sentiment with foam mounting tape. Finally I die-cut a pink Heart and added it to finish the card!

And that’s it! You have two more weeks to get crafty and use our Challenge 21 badge as inspiration for your creations! I can’t wait to see what you create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Christy’s Otterly Adorable Card!

Challenge 17 will be open until Sunday, December 3 at 11:59PM PT

Hey friends, Christy here with a super fun Christmas card inspired by our current challenge! I took the color palette and gave it a girly twist by adding pink into the mix. I’d been dying to ink up my Winter Otter, so I colored him with Copic markers and gave him a little candy cane to hold. So cute!

For my focal panel, I die cut a circle out of patterned paper with the Stitched Circle Stackables and added some vellum waves with Ocean Wave Borders. Since I was going girly, I absolutely had to add some of the gorgeous iridescent Chunky Glitter to the edges.

The rest of the patterned papers I die cut with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and the Stitched Journaling Card. I layered them on my card base and added my sentiment stamped in Peacock ink on an Everyday Sentiment Banner.

For a finishing touch, I added a trio of Stitched Snowflakes, with a dab of Stickles glitter glue in the centers. If you’d like to see the video tutorial for this card, please visit my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

You still have a few days to enter our Color Inspiration Board Challenge! The entries so far have been so inspiring. I can’t wait to see what you create!

Thank you so much, Christy for sharing this decidedly feminine card! Love how you used the color inspiration!
