A Little Sparkle – Team Stamp It! Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to the Team Stamp It! Christmas in July Blog Hop!!  So excited to be hopping with you today!  I just love how this turned out and it is so easy to do!

Lovely As A Tree, LaaT, Star of Light, SU!, Stampin' Up!, Embossing Paste, Glitter, Christmas

Let me show you a close up of the tree – and then explain what I did:

Lovely As A Tree, LaaT, SU!, Stampin' Up!, Christmas, Embossing Paste, Glitter

Do you see all that sparkle?  I added Dazzling Diamond Glitter to the Embossing Paste and then swiped it over my stamped image!  IRL it looks like it is snowing!  With just a thin layer of Embossing Paste, the glitter sticks and looks so pretty!

As you probably guessed, I used Lovely As A Tree for my image.  I colored the tree with Garden Green and the trunk with Chocolate Chip.  Once it dried, I covered the entire layer with the mixture of Dazzling Diamonds and Embossing Paste.  The paste dried in no time!

I layered the image on Basic Black.  I tied silver thread around the top and then layered the panel on a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Be Merry DSP pack.  That was then layered on Silver Foil and finally onto a Garden Green base.

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink on a scrap of Whisper White then die cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits.  This was popped into a banner of Garden Green using the same die.  Lastly, a scrap of SIlver Foil was used again with the same die, cut in half and adhered to the back.

I’d love to know what you think of this card.  I’ll be making some of these for my cards this year as I am just so happy with how it looks!

    I love how you used the embossing paste to create your snow and the dazzling diamonds to make it “glitter and shine”. I just love it. Thanks for sharing. I will probably copy this technique on future cards 🙂

    Thank you for sharing this card. I will have to try the paste and dazzling diamonds. Beautiful card.

    1. Jenny – Here you go: Garden Green Base – 4 1/4″ x 11″, Silver Foil – 4 x 5 1/4″, Designer Paper – 3 3/4 x 5″, Black – 2 3/4″ x 4 1/2″, White – 2 5/8 x 4 3/8″. The foil banner under the sentiment is 1/2 by 3 1/4″ – then snip the two ends with the Triple Banner punch. The sentiment and Garden Green were die cut. Have fun!
