Sticky Paper with Glitter Technique

Supplies you'll need: Sticky Paper, Peel Off stickers, Transfer paper, Glitter, Copics (if you choose to color).
-----------------------------------
Cut around the Peel Off stickers you want to use.
----------------------------------
If you're planning to glitter the entire piece with different colors you'll want to leave the inside pieces of your sticker intact and then cover the sticker with the transfer paper.
----------------------------------
Slowly peel the sticker backing off leaving the Peel Off sticker attached to the Transfer Paper.
---------------------------------
Apply sticker to the Sticky Paper using the Transfer Paper. When peeling up the Transfer Paper you'll want to do this slowly as to not rip off any of the stickiness.
---------------------------------
If you're going to do the entire piece one color than there's no need to leave the inside pieces of the sticker unless you plan on glitter the entire background rather than trimming.
---------------------------------
I'm not going to glitter the background so I went ahead and trimmed around my Peel Off stickers.
--------------------------------
For coloring with Copics I like the Cool Highlight glitter. Bought this at a LSS.
--------------------------------
Dump Glitter over your Sticky Paper and push glitter into Sticky Paper. Remove excess Glitter and burnish with finger until you get a very smooth texture (almost like foil).
--------------------------------
Make sure all Glitter is burnished and there are no loose grains.
-------------------------------
Take the Copic marker and gently flick over your piece where you want color. Flicking at different pressures with give you different results.
-------------------------------
For adding different color Glitter sections you'll want to carefully peel off the inside pieces with tweezers different sections at a time.
-------------------------------
I want my petals all one color so I peeled off all the inside petal pieces.
------------------------------
Dump glitter and burnish with finger till foil like smooth texture.
-----------------------------
Make sure all excess Glitter is off.
-----------------------------

Repeat with remaining sections.

Ready to use on your projects!

Sympathy Cards

Sympathy cards are always so hard to make. I had a lot of fun making these and absolutely love they way they came out! Some are ideas I've gotten online and some are ones that I came up with. Thanks for looking :)

Copic Colored Card

I worked on this card for so long yesterday and I absolutely love the way it came out! I colored the girl and bench with Copic markers. I originally just started coloring her to practice blending reds and blacks because they are suppose to be 2 of the hardest colors to blend and when I was done I was so happy with her I just had to use her on a card! I cut an oval in the base of the card with my coluzzle and stamped the sunrays with a Tim Holtz stamp using Wild Honey and Marmelade distressing inks, sprayed it with a little Perfect Pearls for shininess and stamped. The flowers are from a MS punch painted with Iridescent Medium and stickles in the center. The grass on the side of the bench was cut with Create A Critter. I also inked the edges and painted on some Iridescent Medium on top of that.

Diagonal Double Tag Card

Cute Cute Cute! I love this card! I colored in the Magnolia stamp with my Copic Markers. I hadn't used them in quite some time so I'm re-learning but I'm happy with the end result! I stamped the greeting in the bottom right corner and embossed it in white.

Love the way this card turned out!

This is my version of a card that Tresa Black did over at Fabulously Artsy. Stamp is from SU!, colored quickly with copics. Added some patterned paper, inked edges, twine and that's about it. I love the way it turned out!

Creative post for June 25th

This is a card I made for my sons birthday. I ran the top half of the card through my sizzix with a cuttlebug folder. Then I used a wheel from SU! for the bottom half. I dragged my versamark ink over the raised embossed area and used some clear embossing powser for a little something extra. The image is from Dustim Pike and I quikely colored him with my copics, added some glossy accents to the cherry and it's done.

Lots of new cards to show you!!!!!!!!

In this first card I did something a little different. With my Cricut I cut out 2 images from the Indie Art cart and temporarily adhered them to my card. Then I used my versamark inkpad and went over the entire card front. I carefully peeled up my Cricut images - leaving only those spaces un-versamarked. I sprinkled Ranget Holographic embossing powder over the front of the card and heated. I love the effect I got!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this card I enbossed my image with Judi-Kins Weathered Iron embossing powder then I went over the entire front with Ranger Distress Ink blending with a piece of foam. After I got a paint brush wet and flicked water over the image creating water spots.

------------------------------------------------------------

Same method as above card using Ranger Moss embossing powder.

-------------------------------------------------------

Just a simple birthday card. After I inked up my background stamp I spritzed it with a mix of water and perfect pearls so it has a slight sparkle - very subtle and pretty.

--------------------------------------------------------

Love the way this card turned out!!!! I stamped my image with versamark and then used 2 different perfect pearls colors, afterwards setting it with fixative spray and allowing it time to dry. For the background stamp I used 2 different color inks and then spritzed it with the perfect pearls and water before stamping. In real life it's really sparkly!!!

-------------------------------------------------

I got this idea from a tutorial on Ranger Paint Daubbers. I stamped my background with a script stamp. Cut the leaves out from the Serenade cart with the Cricut and temporarily adhered it to my card. I them took a piece of foam and spread out the paint from the Daubber all over the card, peeled up my cut image and allowed lots of time to dry. I used Staz-on to stamp my sentiment on the Tim Holtz acrylic piece.

----------------------------------------------------

For this card I used my script background stamp in brown and went over it quickly with my heat gun to speed up the drying. I then used Tim Holtz Rock Candy Crackle Paint and allowed to dry on it's own. I used only a thin coat so the crackle is very subtle. Stamped my sentiment with Staz-on on the acrylic piece.

--------------------------------------------------------

Quick birthday card. Background stamped with versamark and then went over with 3 different colors of perfect pearls and set with fixative spray.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Another quick birthday card. Background stamp spritzed with the perfect pearls and water for a little shine. Image colored quickly with Copic markers and then brused over Iridescent medium for a sparkle finish. Silver cord added too.
