Cards from September Scrappin' Saturday

It seems like Scrappin Saturday was yesterday, but in reality it was almost 2 weeks ago!  No matter when it was, these are the sample cards I made for the day!

Cards 3 and 5 are designs I "lifted" from Els' facebook page.  All the other designs are ones I created. Each card has Elizabeth Craft Designs stickers, Glitter Ritz highlight glitter and copic markers.   

Card 1

Cards 1 & 2 use some of Tim's (Holtz) dies.  Card 2 also has some "Dress it up" buttons.

Card 2

Card 3 uses some Bronze Shimmer Sheets with Ranger's Alcohol Blending Solution,

Card 3

The moon in card 4 was cut with a Nestabilities die, the Happy Halloween was stamped with clear embossing ink and Distress Embossing powder and Tim's "swirl" embossing folder.

Card 4

Card 5 background stamp is Hero Arts "Holly Flourish "  stamp.  The design was stamped using Stazon inks. 

Card 5

The next Scrappin Saturday is only a couple of weeks away.  By popular request we will work on Christmas cards and tags.   Hope you drop back by to see what the ladies will be making!

Twisted Sketches Card # 87

Wow!  Time really flies!  Here it is almost the end of November and this is my first November post!  Last week I participated in a class at Stamper's Corner. The instructor was Els from Elizabeth's Craft Designs.  All I can say is OH MY!  I took 2 classes and created 2 cards in each class (I will post those later.)

The reason I mentioned the classes here is because I used the technique and products from one of the classes and created a card for this week's Twisted Sketches Card #87.  The twist this week is Glitter!!! (You can click the link to see the sketch.)

The background started as plain white card stock to which I added some "Be Creative" Tape, then the fun began!  I masked the exposed tape with snowflakes then covered with Glitter Ritz Deep Purple Opaque Micro Fine Glitter.   After completely covering, I removed the excess glitter and returned it to the jar.  I burnished what remained on the tape with my finger.  This glitter is amazing, it is soft to the touch almost like velvet!  After burnishing well, I carefully removed the masks and added Glitter Ritz Cool Highlights glitter following the steps I mentioned earlier.

The picture really does not do justice to the "glittery-ness" of the card, I wish you could see it in person!

Have you ever wanted to be on a design team?  Do you like working from sketches?  Then you need to check out the Design Team Call Twisted Sketches has going on right now.  You gotta hurry though, the last day to submit is December 1, 2011.

Hope you have a great week!
