I’ve been dying to try this stamp set out from Stampin’ Up! since I got it (yes, uninked rubber is a felony), so the perfect opportunity came up when Florida Stampers offered a Rose card swap.

PERFECT!

I also combined my super cool glitter from P K Glitz in the mix. Since the image is an outline one, there are SO many possibilities. The image is heat embossed then has glitter along the outer parts of the petals. A glue pen comes in handy for that! It just didn’t pop enough after that, so the entire background surrounding the rose was colored in with a large tip glue pen and sprinkled with Crystal glitter. The shimmer is SO pretty and really got the effect I was looking for.

I was chatting on Split Coast the other day on the Unity Stamp forum and we were talking about our favorite coloring options. I LOVE Copics, but I realized that coloring with glitter is my next favorite option!

Supplies:
P K Glitz Glitter Glitz & Embossing Powder
Quickie Glue Pen
Ranger Embossing Ink
Stampin’ Up! Stamp
My Mind’s Eye Paper
Spellbinders die
Mojo Monday sketch#133

I got a little crazy with recipe pages this month! I wanted to capture some of the recipes that were recently sent to me PLUS take advantage of the swaps offered on Cindy’s Recipe Swap Yahoo group.

So, the result is below! I was so excited to use up a bunch of scraps that I had AND stamps that I hadn’t used in awhile. LOVE to use up stash!

I really need to start making cards with these!

You may remember seeing some “inchies” on here before – the little pieces of 1″x1″ art? Well, the cousin to “inchies” are “twinchies”. I bet you can guess what they are – yes, 2″x2″ pieces of art!

Indeed being double the size of inchies, twinches can accommodate a bit more “stuff”. These are rather simple, but I think would be very cute on a card with a little bit more embellishment by means of ribbon, more patterned paper or bling.

So, I view these as a great starting point!

There are 2 themes here. The green is a March/Clover/St. Patrick’s Day theme. The bunnies are Easter/Spring themed. All have either heat embossing or flocking on them for at least a bit of texture. They’re fun! Oh, you trade them like Artist Trading Cards. I made 3 of each one, so I’ll be receiving 9 back in each theme. Looking forward to it!

Supplies:
Stampin’ Up! stamps
Ranger and Tsukineko inks
P K Glitz embossing powder
Stampendous flocking
Spellbinders dies
Prism cardstock
Karen Foster patterned paper
