Embellished

Testing… does this blog still work? If so… and if you are reading this, then thank you very much!!! I hope everyone is well! I haven’t made a “Just because I really wanted to make a card” card in so long that I thought I’d post it.

Here’s a close up of the glitter.

I used the Inkadinkado Clear set, Ornate Christmas. Martha Glitter on the snowman, scarf, hat and black snowflake.  Martha embossed snowflake punch. Paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle.

Speaking of Martha Stewart Glitter.. I had alot of fun altering some ornaments for our tree this year. I couldn’t bear to throw away a bunch of old gold ornaments I had bought years ago. They were pretty…just gold, which is fine but doesn’t match my things anymore. Although the pictures aren’t the best (I need a new camera..my battery and charger are shot, so I rely on the Iphone for everything) I thought I’d share them with you. I was proud of myself.

Half of them I spray painted a Glossy White and the other Half with Rustoleum’s  Metallic Silver. Once dried and fully covered, I sprayed adhesive onto them, sprinkled with various Martha Stewart Glitter (the coarser snow and crystal like glitter) and then sprayed a clear gloss top coat of spray paint to help the glitter from falling off when touched. I think they turned out ok! I did some wire stars as well, but need to get pictures taken. Here’s a picture of the finished tree. Too bad you can’t tell the wall behind the tree is silver too…it reflects so neat at night.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Hello! I really hadn’t realized it had been almost a year since my last post. :/ I thought I’d give you a breif update on life. I am now graduated from Cosmetology school awaiting my license. I also recieved an amazing email a month or so ago from EK Success asking me to be part of their freelance team! I was thrilled! I am also still working with Hampton Art, mostly for the suppliment catalogs. I just finished 8 samples for the Winter Suppliment for Hampton so I thought I’d share some with you. Hope this finds you all doing well!

           Here is a close up…. just because I thought the colors of the paper and copper stickles were so pretty.

Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share my creations with you! I’ll be back soon with the rest.

Ahh, my boys and the Tetons… does it get any better than that? :) Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is off to a fantastic start! I picked up this frame a few years ago because I thought it was adorable! After wanting to use this gorgeous Hampton Art stamp set, I thought I’d see what I could do. The long flower stamp was stamped on acetate and adhered to the white flower photo. I added some bling to it at the very end. There is smootch on the pictures and 4th panel to bring everything out!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years! With the party theme being continued, I thought it would be fun to use the darling party owls set!  I used some of the amazing smootch glimmer on the dots of the balloons for some twinkle. The inside of the card reads.. “I hope it’s a hoot”. I cut out the owl and popped it up on a pop up glue dot for added dimension. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hello! With New Years just around the corner, I couldn’t get the party theme out of my head. I couldn’t wait to use some of my new Smooch Spray inks and Spritz board from Hampton Art! Very fun! The Cupcake Rubon’s and Spoil Yourself Cardboard sticker are from the Cupcake Foot Long collection by Hampton as well. I hope you enjoy and have a fun and safe Holiday weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Holidays!

I can’t believe Christmas is right around the corner! I made this photo block into a Holiday decoration for my Mom.  This is one of her favorite stamps that I own, it’s from Hampton Art!  I thought it would be fun to wrap the ribbon around the box like a present…too bad this one doesn’t open though. I hope you enjoy! Have a great Holiday weekend!!

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going great!! We woke up today in Idaho to at least 6 inches of snow! Kids school is out and so is mine! Second snow day in my life!

I cannot get enough of these adorable owl stamps! I can’t help but smile every time I see them. These stamps come from the Foot Long Owls 2 set from Hampton Art! I hope you enjoy!

Have a great rest of your day!

Happy Wednesday! It is SO hard to believe that Thanksgiving is a short week away! I was looking through my darling Hampton sets looking for something that would would fit in with the holiday. These stamps come from the Patchwork Pals set. I just love it. I’ve used it quite a bit! I hope you enjoy! 

  

Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

I don’t know about your part of the woods, but here it’s been sooo chilly and it’s just screaming Christmas! Ok… some may say it’s a little early, but that’s how I feel so I just had to pull out my adorable Hampton Art stamps and be festive!

 It’s too bad you can’t see how it sparkles in the light! I hope you enjoy!
