Put a little SPARKLE in your heart! :D

Hi! I hope you're having a wonderful week - it's WEDNESDAY! Halfway through the week. Got big plans for Valentine's Day? :)

Well, last night was our Crystal Effects class, and that "stick..." brand has NOTHING on what we did last night!!! You can sparkle a whole BOTTLE of CE with any of our fine glitters if you want - or use an empty embossing powder jar to mix a bit of each in.

We mixed red SU! glitter with CE, then used either a paintbrush or its handle to freehand the "drops", and I did the hearts freehand, too. We do them on wax paper, and allow them to dry thoroughly - no putting fingerprints in them!!! :)

Tonight, I peeled them off the wax paper and put them on Whisper White card stock after I ran the card stock through the Big Shot (Yup, I hear that - I DO love it!:D) with my SU! exclusive Texturz plate. (This is a 3"x3" card.) The sparkly elements are stuck on with a TINY bit more Crystal Effects. The white card stock is 2.75" square, and the Basic Black is 2-7/8" square. The Real Red card stock card is cut 3"x6"; it's a great card for a gift or to include with flowers or candy. ;D

If you try making some sparkly elements, let me know what you do! I'd LOVE to see what you do - and you can always CONTACT ME or CLICK HERE to go shop now and order some more Crystal Effects and glitter! Let me know what you're stampin'! :D

Did someone say SIP???

I promised you more from this weekend. :D So, here you go. It's ALL paper, ink, and stamps! And I did it in three colors, so you could see the difference. :) This one is Whisper White, stamped with Bashfult Blue, then stamped with Brilliant Blue for the "Priceless". The butterfly was also stamped with Brilliant Blue and then cut out. The wings and antennae are bent slightly, and the body is the only thing glued down - so, when the scanner cover's not crushing it, there's some dimension. :D

This one, on the left, is done the EXACT same way, using Almost Amethyst and Lovely Lilac.

And this final one, on the right, is done exactly the same, with Certainly Celery and Glorious Green. Ang brought three ink pads - Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, and Certainly Celery - and her Bold Bright Stampin' Write markers.

So, what do you think??? Of course, I can see where some GLITTER (Hi, Amy!) would come in beautifully on the butterfly's wings, if you wanted to amp it up JUST a little bit. :D But I PROMISED myself to try SIPping a little bit! :D

There. You got THREE samples, to make up for yesterday. :D Is that good?

Time for me to hit the hay - it's been a LONG day today! I hope you have a WONDERFUL Thursday - and take the time to what??? That's RIGHT! :D STAMP SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
