I’ve been playing with digi stamps, acetate and glitter again! Here is the first in a series of glittered acetate projects using The Stamping Boutique and Michelle Perkett Studio digital stamps.
The technique is not hard, you just need some patience and attention to detail. Here’s how to do it…
Print a digital stamp on acetate. I use a laser printer and laser transparencies. Using a fine tip on a Crystal Lacquer bottle (the tips are sold separately), choose the first color and sections of the image that you want to be that color, and add Crystal Lacquer to that area on the dull side (back). If you have text, mirror the image before printing. Sprinkle on the glitter and shake off any excess. Repeat until the image has the amount of color and glitter for the design. Set aside and let it dry.
When it’s dry, cut to size. Brush the glittered side with a soft goat hair brush to remove excess glitter. Drop small amounts of lacquer on top of the glitter and adhere to backing paper. Usually white or cream works well to set off the glitter and detailed image. Embellish and you’re done!
Supplies:
The Stamping Boutique, Tulip Fairy
P K Glitz glitter
Sakura Crystal Lacquer
Mojo Monday sketch

5 CommentsPublished February 11, 2011 | And my final digital stamp creation (this week anyway) using The Stamping Boutique stamps.
I have lots of layers here! I printed the image on acetate, picked a glitter color and part of the image for that color. I “colored” that part of the image with Crystal Lacquer on the back of the printout and sprinkled with the first glitter color. I repeated this process until the image was colored in totally with glitter! It was set to the side to dry while the card base was put together. I followed the Week 1 Verve Sketch from SCS for the layout. When the image was dry, I attached it to a piece of glittered embossed cardstock by squeezing some Crystal Lacquer onto the back of the glittered image and sticking it to the sheet. Some trimming cleaned things up, add a little ribbon and a tag with die cut “love” word.
Hope you enjoy it!

Published February 10, 2011 | Yes indeed, this digital stamp from The Stamping Boutique is TOO cute! Don’t you just love the cupcake craze! Little bites of cake heaven…
This card was for another DigiDay challenge that required doodled hearts to be somewhere on the project. I doodled mine down the right side of the image.
For a little extra fun, after I colored the image I cut it into thirds and separated them on a piece of background paper. I like the label-type effect.
Supplies:
The Stamping Boutique digital stamp
Die cut paper
Copic markers

Published February 9, 2011 | Isn’t this image cute? I used it for a challenge at DigiDay with The Stamping Boutique. The challenge was to create a Valentine card using no pink or red. Isn’t that a great idea?
I had a color challenge swap card to create, so I used the swap colors for the color scheme. I think it came out just fine as a Valentine’s card with no pink or red!
Supplies:
The Stamping Boutique digital stamp
Copic markers
The Stamps of Life clear stamps for the saying, Minis4circles set
Tsukineko ink
Spellbinders dies
BasicGrey paper

Posted in cards | blog hop, copics, digital stamp, Mojo Monday, PDCC, Some Odd Girl, Spellbinders, The Stamps of Life | 38 CommentsPublished November 15, 2010 | Here’s another cutie from Some Odd Girl digital stamps. I used a new purchase from a sale at Michael’s – a deep border punch of presents! I figured it would be good year round for birthdays and other celebrations other than Christmas. Isn’t it marvelous??
I kept Miss Mae mostly monochromatic with just some sparkle in her hair. I will definitely dive into the color soon though. 
Supplies:
Some Odd Girl digital stamp
Copic markers
Deep border punch, stickers, glitter gel pen and My Mind’s Eye patterned paper

She’s got a bunch of dimension – from the thick felt to the super popped stamp and Fun circle. Click on the pic for a big view!
Supplies:
Some Odd Girl digital stamp

Published November 9, 2010 | Hmmmmm, hot chocolate on a cool day…how yummy!
I made this card for Whimsie Doodles challenge 56, Scratch n’ Sniff. This cute little Snowman Cocoa fit right in to this week’s theme and into a card that I needed for a color swap!
The card’s “scent” came from adding cinnamon to some chocolate brown embossing powder so that it smelled divine when it was heated to melt! YUMMO! I used an embossing pen to trace the steam coming out of the cup and for the stripes on the mug.
The rest of the color came from the color combo needed for this month’s card at Florida Stampers. AND the sketch from Mojo Monday!
Supplies:
Whimsie Doodles digital stamp
Ippity sentiment stamp
Tsukineko ink
Ranger embossing pen
Liquid Applique, embossing powder, cinnamon, ribbon
Mojo Monday sketch 164
