Glitter and Sticky Paper Butterfly

Card for a friend. Technique for Butterfly is below also.

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!

Creative Post for June 11th

Love the way this card turned out! I used Create A Critter for the owl and Serenade for the cloud and tree branch. The background paper and inside of the card paper used is from the new Manilla Collection from Basic Grey. I glittered up the cloud a little bit for some sparkle.

Sticky Paper, Lace and Glitter!

Love this method that I learned at my LSS Utopia in Henrietta, NY! Jen, the owner, is fabulous! For this I used Sticky Paper, any type of lace or doily and ultra fine glitter.

Take the sticky back off the paper and place your lace down on the paper. Sprinkle your first color of glitter on the paper and press down. Tap off excess and then remove the lace. Now sprinkle your second color glitter down and it will now only adhere to the sticky part where the lace was. Press down and then tap off excess.

It's really neat and the texture is amazing not to mention the sparkle that the camera just can't capture!

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

This is another one I did. It hasn't been made into a card yet but wanted to post it because it's so pretty!

Christmas Ornaments

Super duper easy! My kids made some for their teachers for gifts - that's how easy they are! After the ornaments were glittered we cut out some Christmas images with vinyl and put them on. They are so cute and make great gifts!

Pictures don't do these ornaments justice. This is a technique I learned on the Christmas with the Cricut website found HERE.

Recessed Window Card & Tutorial

Someone on the Cricut mb posted this type of card they made after seeing it on the Splitcoaststampers website. I loved the card but didn't want to have to figure out the lines for the window everytime I wanted to make the card so I decided to make a .scut file for it. There is a page for scoring and for that I simply turned my cricut blade itself upside down in the housing and it scored the lines perfectly. I then used a .cut file from Okieladybug's blog for the Gusset Envelope so that the card would be protected. The card itself is a square 4.75 in. card and the envelope was cut at 5in. Below is a quick tutorial on how I put mine together. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

If you'd like this SCAL file please leave a comment with an email address that you'd like the file sent to. - Thank you

Recessed Window Card and Gusset Envelope

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

After file is cut this is what it should look like
---------------------------------------------

Open to the inside and fold on score lines closest to the inside of window

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

Fold triangle areas inward now so it looks like above (this is a view from the inside of the card)
