Puttin’ on the GLITZ!

I made this card a little over week ago when mostly all of my inkpads were packed away and ready to go for our big Christmas Bonanza Event (yes, pictures are still coming soon!). I wanted to make a card, but had not much in the way of ink to work with! So I busted out my Sticky Pages and Glitter – the inkless way to make a card and this is what I came up with:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

  • Colored Glitter can me messy business – be sure to invest in our Powder Pal set for easy clean up! Work over the tray and use the Static Free Brush to help you usher your leftover glitter back into it's home.
  • Make your sentiments pop with Embossing Powders! Here, I used Silver EP.
  • Don't be afraid to combine embellishments. For the center of the flower, I used Flower Fusions, a Pretties Kit, Filigree Brads and a Rhinestone Brad. They all came in separate kits, but still complemented one another well!
  • The Sticky Cuts come in such a way that you have the option of pulling layers apart to have more images, or using them together and peeling away the top protective sheet one by one for multicolored images.

 

Here's a look at what comes in this Sticky Cut Sweet set:

Stamp Out Breast Cancer Day #4!

"This is my story of hope. In 1984, I had a mastectomy (full) and also I was sterilised by radiation. I was put on Tamoxifen, which I stayed on for over 15 years, stopping only when I had bleeding problems. I came off it then but had a recurrence in 2005. I am 57 and still wonder what I will do when I grow up – I am planning now until I am 91 at least. Every day is a good day – tomorrow, who knows. It's not always easy but I am now on Arimidex and all is going well. I do take some herbs and try to watch my diet, eating a lot of fruit and vegetables and only a little dairy. I am a teacher working full time and we do a lot of fundraising for Tri To Beat Cancer here in Dublin. You just have to go for it. I hope my story gives hope to everyone. I have survived and I am traveling the world as much as I can. Love and prayers to all of you. God bless."
