Wine Pocket Card

by Jill Jacobsen on January 5, 2012

Hi Stampers,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here on the blog and thought it was well over due:)

My Video Kit Club this month is using the new wine stampette set Chiante.  I am so lovin’ these sets and the new Tuscany Embossing Powders!!  They are fantastic to work with and the colors are oh so perfect and in right now!!  I also focused on coloring this month with the Copics.  So take a look at the video here and maybe you’ll want to join the club too!

I am also teaching the FREE Copic Class next Saturday morning and I’m using this stamp as my focus.  Learn how to achieve the look of a green wine bottle with the red wine in it.  Be sure to call or email to sign up…even though it’s free we still want to know you are coming!

Happy Stamping,

Jill

Wonderful Gift

by Karin on January 4, 2012

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year to you :)

I decided to pop in with a thank you card that I made recently.  I was thinking about how thankful I was for all the lovely gifts I received over the holidays, and wanted to express my gratitude in cheerful way.

The sentiment is from the set Flower Vases (265) and since that set didn’t come with the image of a gift, I put on my thinking cap.  I was so excited when I realized I could use the bottom portion of the Tiny Tree (3564-439c) image from the set Tis the Season (439).  I stamped it 3 times on coordinating paper, fussy cut them, and tied them with bakers twine before adhering them to the card. 

I also added a couple of strips of glitter for embellishment, using Moonrise Glitter Tinsel (GT3000) and Autumn Medley Glitter (G1013).  Both of these complimented the colors in my patterned paper.  For full product details and instructions, vist the card in the gallery by clicking here.

Before I go, I also want to remind you that the first hop of the new year will be taking place in a couple of weeks.  Mark your calenders for January 19th – 20th.  It’s gonna be good :)

Have a great day!

Karin

You’re on my Mind

by Karin on December 21, 2011

Hello Everyone!

Are you all ready for the big holiday weekend?  I’m in the last minute scramble myself, but I wanted to take a moment to share this card with you.  I’m thankfully done with my holiday cards, so now I’m moving on, and making anything and everything but…lol! 

On today’s card, I used the stampette set Blossoms to Go (440S) and stamped the flowers down one side using Versamark (99702) and then embossed with a very unique embossing powder named Berry Bliss (EP313).  It has an interesting multi colored look to it,  and it’s nothing like anything I’ve ever seen in the big box stores where I live.  I think it really makes the card itself special.  I then fussy cut along one side of the flowers and added a dry embossed panel to the inside of my card where the base peeks through.  The patterned paper I used has glittery flowers already on it, so I added a stripe of glitter (Purple Fusion G1083) using the marvelous Tear-ific Tape (SAT01) to embellish my card a bit more, and the sentiment came from another stampette named Just for You (444S).

Full details on my card can be found in the Sparkle N Sprinkle gallery here, but this photo shows the fussy cutting and inside panel a bit more.

Thanks for taking a moment of your time this busy week to visit with us on the blog.  Until next time, I wish you all a safe and happy holiday!

Tuscan Wine Fest

by Brenda on December 16, 2011

They’ve  finally arrived!  

 Just in time to decorate those bottles of wine you’re taking as hostess gifts!  

Stamp Set 449 – Wine Tableau and Stamp Set 450S – Chianti

They’re just oozing with that Tuscan feel.  

Along with that there are 12 new Shades of Tuscany embossing powders that are a beautiful matte finish in earthy tones that evoke the hills of Tuscany.

That’s not all!   There are 12 more Stars of Tuscany in those same vibrant colors, but with that hint of glitz makes them pop when you need pop.

Here’s a card that I did using Set 450S – Chianti  with Moss Star EP430 and Mulberry Star EP427.  I just love these sets and the new embossing powders! 

All the little embellishments are perfect for adding a 3-D touch.

Here’s a close-up of the “fussy cut” 3-D wine glass and grape leaves.

Here’s a sample from Jill that uses both new sets and shows just what you can do with that bottle of wine!

Hope you enjoy these as much as the Sparklettes on the Design Team are enjoying them.

Vellum Flowers

by Karin on December 7, 2011

Hello Everyone,

This is one of those card shares that I couldn’t wait to show off to you here on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog…I was just thrilled with the results when I finished it, and while it’s only 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ square, it packs a big beautiful punch. 

I used what might be my new favorite glitter, Carnation (G1028).  I adhered it to some Sticker Paper(99558) to create a gorgeous base for my flowers, which were made by stamping in Versamark (99702) on vellum and embossing with White Detail (EP298) powder.  Each flower was fussy cut and adhered to the card using a rhinestone brad.  These lovely designed flowers come from the Stampette set  named Blossoms To Go (440S) and the sentiment is from another flower set named My Rose Garden (402).

I simply added a scrap of patterned paper layered with a border to the top of my card and finished it with a bit of ribbon and butterfly charm.  A very girly card that could be sent to a friend for any number of reasons.  We all have those special people in our lives that need to be remembered with a card. 

If you need further details regarding my card, I invite you to check it out in the gallery here.

Thanks so much for visiting!
