This card was MESSY!! Holy moly! There
was is glitter everywhere. It was really fun to make. I made this card for the
Hand Stamped Sentiments inspiration challenge #146. I actually used the Jumbo Sticky Rounds from the Stampin Up Holiday catalog. I used 3 of them for this card. I started with the blue ornament. I stuck one sticky round in the corner then I punched another using the boho blossom punch "star/flower" shape. I stuck those pieces right on top of the sticky round but I didn't remove the red backing. Then I covered the sticky round with my blue glitter (non-su), tapped that off then removed the red backing from the stars and dumped some purple glitter on it. Then I just used the same concept on the gold ornament. However, for the gold ornament I just used strips of sticky strip to create the stripes. For the ornament toppers, I cut 2 of the tops using the ornament framelits from brushed silver paper. The hangers are just some 1/8" black taffeta and a bow. Turned out pretty cute! And so much fun!
Funny story (sort of): while I was in the middle of making this card, someone came to our front door. So, I ran downstairs to answer the door. While talking to our visitor, my four year old runs up and says, "Mommy, you gotta come upstairs now...fast". Ok, gotta go. Run into my craft room and this is what I found:
See the four little EMPTY jars of glitter....and my two-year olds feet in the background? Well, needless to say, the canister on my vacuum is very glittery and shiny now! Four jars of beautiful glitter down the tubes. UGGGHHH Lesson learned!
