Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Let's try the glitter

Hi Everybody,

Today it is the turn of the glitter papers that I altered in the video and here are two of the cards from one of the panels.

The embossing powder panels turned out really pretty but the glitter ones are a little more subtle, though just as pretty. 

With the one to the right I cut the panel into strips of varying sizes and added them with foam tape to some silver foiled acetate.

That was also added to the base card with foam tape and it gives a lovely raised effect to the panel. 

The large sentiment was cut from an older word die cut and I simply trimmed the words from the rest of the die cut and glued them to the strips.

The flowers at the top of the panel are all wax melts that I hot glued in place, again more leftovers.

These left over strips have been added vertically to this panel with foam tape, after I added the blue ribbon along the bottom.

The sentiment is cut in silver mirror card and the rose is another left over  die cut from a previous card I made, using an older Card Making Magic set

I have bought nothing new to make any of these cards, but I have made use of items that I already have, be they older dies or die cuts that have been sitting on my desk top for ages.

I am keeping to the challenge that I set myself to use up older stuff and save some money rather than buying new things all the time.


And here is the video again to show you the glitter panels that I created.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
