Halloween Fun with Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend.

Today I have another layout to share with you for Sparkle N Sprinkle

using some fun new Halloween Stamps.

I have very few Halloween photos of my little ones, so the ones I do have are so precious to me! They were 3 and 5 here. I have used the new Authentique papers for this layout and I love that little border of witches that I used right behind my photo!

For my title I have used Camera Life and heat embossed it with Concord Star.

I used the Witches Brew stamp set and the same EP for my sentiment. I used Clementine EP on the middle layer of my die cuts. To add a little sparkle to my border I used Purple Rain GL and 1/8" Tear-ific Tape. For the double layered hexagons, I applied 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to my paper, punched it out, burnished with Cloud Nine GL, and adhered with foam tape.

For my border I did some punching, layering and sewing with my machine.

I used Flourishes 2 in the corner and heat embossed with Detail Black EP.  I added a spritz of silver spray ink.

To see all the details and products used, hop over to

 My Gallery at Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Halloween Fun - Designer Crafts Connection

Good afternoon everyone! 
It's the first Monday of the month so it is time
for the Designer Crafts Connection Blog Hop.

Our theme this month is Halloween and I have used some fabulous
Authentique papers for my plaque.

I used a stray piece of chipboard I had on my desk as the base, covered it in layers of paper and added some fun embellishments. The stamps are Wendy Vecchi, the ribbon is vintage from my stash, the witches hat was cut on my die cut machine, and the buttons and brads came out of my Halloween bucket.

I used a Sizzix die to create this frame, which I covered in double sided tape and microfine glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle (Purple Rain). The image in the center of the frame is from my stash, who knows how many years I have had it! I think it may be Daisy D's. 

I stamped the sentiment onto orange cardstock and cut out the individual pieces then adhered to the project .

I love how this stamp is the negative, so your original cardstock shows through 

So there you have it!

What are you dreaming about for Halloween?

Christmas Goodies with Sparkle N Sprinkle

Happy Sunday all my blogging friends!

A new week is here and I am enjoying the fabulous cool weather here in 

Dallas. WOW- did we get a cool snap! 

Today I have a new project for Sparkle N Sprinkle to share with you

We love to bake during the holidays at our house, so the new Sweet Holiday #655 Stamp Set is perfect!

I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed with Silver Detail EP, then filled in the outline with a marker.

I stamped the Gingerbread Man with Brown VersaMark ink, then colored with pastel pencils and added black rhinestones for the buttons. I stamped directly on top of my glitter using the new Wonky Lines Background to create my punched border strip.

 I used the Christmas Delight Digi along with my Silhouette Cameo to create my title.

I covered a piece of chipboard with 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape, then burnished with Goldenrod and Luau Green Glitters.

I am so excited that Sparkle N Sprinkle will now be stocking Mon Ami Gabby products in the store!

I love bling, and these products are fabulous. I always run for their booth at convention ;)

Girls Night Out for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I have a project to share using fabulous stamps and glitter from

Sparkle N Sprinkle

 Although I have a very large circle of friends, I have a small circle that are my closest friends that I would call in the middle of the night if I ever need anything. We have been friends forever and have been through it all together. We make sure we get together without kids and husbands every few months to have a fun time together!

One of our favorite things is going to the theater! For this layout I used a variety of Sparkle N Sprinkle's fabulous background stamps. I love the Journal Mixed Media set- it is so versatile, I swear you can use it on any layout! Here I have stamped it randomly across my background page using Powder Puff ink from Quick Quotes. On top of that I have added the Leafy Flourish Stamp right where I was going to place my photo.

My sentiment is from the Old Friends set- I love this saying, so apt! I added a bit of sparkle using 1/8" Tear-ific Tape and Priceless Peacock on my punched cardstock. To add some definition to my die-cut elements, I either traced around them or added faux stitching with a fine black journal pen. If you have never tried this, it is an amazingly simple way to add detail to your layout or card!

Here is a better look at the stamps I used to create my background. I also added a bit of doodling around my photo to ground it to my layout. A few brads and flowers and my layout was done.

I am linking up at the following challenges:
Quick Quotes - repeating shapes- I used circles (brads)
 Feeling Sketchy- sketch!

All Things Grow Better with Love Layout- Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hi everyone! It's Anita here today and it is my turn to share a project with you

 using fabulous Sparkle N Sprinkle products!

I have a layout today that I created using some very young photos of DD2

 and some very pretty stamps!

 

The Garden Fairies Stamp Set was just so cute- I knew as soon 

as I saw it that I needed to create something with it! I used the vine to create a border

above and below my cut papers- a subtle but effective way to add detail.

I stamped my tags with Crystal Medallion and heat embossed with Lilac Spark EP. I added some Memories Mist in Bright Gold to bring out the embossing. I used Super Adhesive Sheets and Spellbinder's dies to cut the frames behind the photos, then burnished them with Dogwood Rose GL- LOVE this color!!

I stamped the mushrooms and fairie from Garden Fairies multiple times, colored and cut out. I layered them over and under my chipboard piece using pop dots on some for more dimension. I used Pear EP on the chipboard piece.

 

Here is a close up of the vine stamp- I used a chalk ink to make it really stand out.

To see all the details on this project, please visit My Gallery at Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have an amazing week!

Anita

Stamps: Crystal Medallion #531, Garden Fairies # 396

Day at The Zoo- Sparkle N Sprinkle

Well,, it is a rainy afternoon here in Dallas, so I guess that means I should

spend the afternoon in my craft room, right?

Today I have a project for Sparkle N Sprinkle to share with you using

the new Ellie The Elephant #553 stamp set that was just released the 1st of April.

It is so cute!!

I have used Bazzill cardstock along with Echo Park papers. I sprayed my entire background 

cardstock with Iridescent Memories Mist- I am so loving that product- then stamped a border

across the page using Brocade Backgrounds and heat embossed with Cappuccino.

I stamped my Ellie the Elephant onto smooth white cardstock, and colored with

PITT® Pastel Pencils from Faber-Castell Design Memory Crafts. 

The flowers are from Spring Backgrounds, which I stamped and heat embossed.

I then covered the image with VersaMark, srpinkled with  Stickum Powder and heated; 

once it was nice and sticky and covered with Bubblegum Glitter- with the Stickum Powder the 

glitter will stay in place perfectly! The sparklers in the centers are KaiserCraft.

I cut my banner with my Cameo, and gave it a good spray with Iridescent Memories Mist too. 

My chippie is Dusty Attic and I have heat embossed it with Black Detail. I also used

my Cameo to cut my title, using 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape applied to cardstock, then burnished 

with Meadow Spark GL. 

I am linking up a the following challenges:

Happy Campers with Sparkle N Sprinkle

Howdy Blogging Buddies!

Is it almost spring?? Are we all ready for spring??

I am!! What about you??

Today I have a new DT Project for Sparkle N Sprinkle to share

This is my 3rd Girl Scout Troop at our Annual Spring Camp. 

I miss these days- and these girls!

The big kid there in the middle is DD2, the two little ones on either side of her are my

BFFs daughters. I can't get over how little they were! 

They are both Sophomores in high school this year!

My papers and die cut stickers are Basic Grey- old and new. 

Alpha stickers are Simple Stories. 

I created the stamped background by stamping the brocade pattern from 

#398Brocade Backgrounds with VersaMark, then brushing Pearl chalk

over it. The chipboard piece here is Blue Fern Studios and I used

EP440 Mojito,   and EP137 Shimmer on it.    

  I am so lovin' these 3D Foam Stars from Scrapbook Adhesives- they are awesome!

I burnished them with GM2007 Reflections. 

I inked this chipboard word and while wet I covered in EP137 Shimmer. 

Sorry about the lighting on this- With the shimmery background 

AND the glitter on the word my camera just did not want to focus

and I had to go straight up manual!

Have a wonderful week!

Natural Beauty- Sparkle N Sprinkle

Good morning blogging buddies!!

It is day #18 of The Caribbean Crawl 2014

and we are arriving home very early this morning!

Today I have a project for Sparkle N Sprinkle to share with you

using one of our fun background stamps!

Yes, I have been hoarding this paper for a while- and I love how it 

coordinated perfectly with these beautiful flower stamps

from #399 Spring Background! 

 I stamped these on another sheet from the same line of paper,

heat embossed them, then fussy cut- perfect!

 

This gate chippie from Dusty Attic was perfect for this layout.

I used a stencil, gesso, and more embossing powders

underneath to make the brick look.

This chippie is from Blue Fern Studios- seriously my new favorite chipboard. 

I am so in love with their products! If the hubs sees how many pieces

of chipboard I have ordered lately I am in BIG trouble!

Too see more details on how this layout was made, be sure to check

out my Gallery at Sparkle N Sprinkle!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I am hoping to be recovered from The Caribbean Crawl in a couple of

days and start scrapping my photos!

We tool three cameras on the trip with us!!

Howdy everyone! 

Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle's March 1 Reveal.

This month at SNS are featuring five versatile stamp sets.
Two of the sets are perfect for Christmas.

The Winter Cardinal stamp set is available by itself on line.
It is also included in Jazzy Jill's Technique Video for the month.


The first of the month also means a new challenge at SNS Creative Challenges where the theme is always 
"Anything Goes with Loose Glitter, Embossing Powder and/or Flocking."

My project today uses the new SNS Crystal Medallion!

I have used Bo Bunny papers and Bazzill cardstock for this layout, along with 

#491 Tulips, #GM2014 Peruvian Lily, EP422 Cappuccino,

EP121 Cotton Candy and EP137 Shimmer.

I stamped my image with VersaMark and covered it with Pearlescent Chalk from Pebbles. 

My sentiment is from #491 Tulips, which I stamped on plain white cardstock, die cut

with my nesties, die cut a second layer of cardstock that I covered with 2 1/2" Tear-Ific Tape,

then burnished with GM2014 Peruvian Lily .

My chippie is from Dusty Attic and I have heat embossed it using 

EP422 Cappuccino and EP137 Shimmer.

This little chippie from Blue Fern Studios I painted white, then coated 

just the tips with EP121 Cotton Candy.

For this butterfly, I printed the image on 99602 Embossable Clear Acetate,

roughly cut around it, then applied #SAT11 2 1/" Tear-ific Tape to the back.

I then fussy cut the image, and used my Tonic knife to cut the paper backing

just along the body of the butterfly. Remove the rest of the paper backing,

and sprinkle with glitters- I used G1028 Carnation and G1090 Cyclamen. 

Remove paper backing from body, then adhere to layout! 

Really easier than it sounds here- I promise!
