Art With Heart Celebrations Blog Hop

Hi!

Welcome back to another Art With Heart Blog Hop. The theme for this blog hop is Celebrations. You may have just come from Ros Davidson's blog, but if you've started here that's OK - just keep going until you get back to where you started. There are 11 stops along the way.

The Art With Heart team is led by Claire Daly and it is a very talented team that I feel privileged to be a part of. Claire was recently announced as the Number 1 Demonstrator in Australia, and many other of the Art With Heart team also won awards. It's great to be a part of such a fantastic team.

My projects this month were made with my eldest niece in mind. She turns 21 in June, so I decided to make her a card. She decided to celebrate her birthday with a cocktail party and the invitation had a disco ball on in, so I decided to bling the card to the max!



Just a little bit of glitter!



I cut a Top Note out of Jac paper to adhere the glitter to the background. The glitter in the champagne flutes was adhered using Tombow glue.

I also decided to make a simpler version of the same basic layout.



This time I used double sided tape to adhere the glitter around the edge of the black panel. Easy!



Each layer in both cards was raised on dimensionals.

I also decided to make a gift card holder that matched the cards. More bling!



Here it is opened:



And here's the tag you write on:



I made these cards over a week ago and I'm still finding glitter everywhere! I had lots of fun making them though. Thanks to Robyn for loaning me her stamp to play with - much appreciated!

  15. Gorgeous Tina. love the bling! :)
    Thanks for your comments on my flowers...yours look lovely too when you do them, here is a couple of tips to help next time.
    Run them through your crimper in different directions (a fair few times) this helps separate the papers and make them softer. Then I flick the edges with my nails to break them up even more. Dont be scared to scrunch them HARD. if they are cardstock they can take it. Scrunch them in as far as they will go and then pry them apart a little to get the look you want! Have fun
