How it;s done

Card base is 41/8 x 51/2 inches

folded tent style

open card and fold the front in (valley fold)

to create easel.

Line the inside with coordinating designer paper

Cut 3/4 inch from bottom of the front of the card

and adhere border, so that the inside designer paper

peeks out at the bottom of the card when closed.

Die cut your colored stamped design. Die cut a piece of acetate.

 Die cut a frame with the same die, using the one you cut the stamped image

with and the next smaller one in the set. Adhere the acetate die cut to the frame

 Adhere foam tape around the frame making sure not to leave any edge not taped.

Place small amount of small micro beads or glitter on the stamped image

and adhere the frame over it to create the shaker.

Adhere the Shaker to the bottom portion of the card only.

Adhere the sentiment inside using pop dots, so that the

easel will stand alone.  Decorate the front with small hearts

and rhinestones.

BSS MONDAY IDEA - Sparkle Heart

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

This week's idea is to use a double sided Adhesive sheet to glitter the

background on an open heart die.

Click on the pictures to see an enlarged version to see detail.

The finished card

Close up of glittered heart

White textured card stock base is 6 x 5 inches tent folded.

Die cut the heart in the center of a 6 x 41/4 inch piece of white card stock

(Spellbinders -Vines of passion die 9S2-4022)

Cut the border out at the bottom of this same piece.

(Spellbinder's - A2 Scalloped Borders 2 (S5-214)

On a separate piece of pink card stock, 6x1 1/4 inch die cut

the border again.  Adhere the pink border to the white heart piece,

so the borders match.

Adhere a piece of designer paper 6x1 1/2 inches to the bottom of the

card base.

Adhere a 3 1/2 x 6 inch piece from of adhesive sheet to the card base.

Be sure to burnish it with your bone folder so the top protective layer will

come off easily.

Remove the top protective layer and adhere the piece with heart and

borders, being sure to press down on the heart so it is stuck too.

Now sprinkle a generous amount of glitter and rub around with your

fingers before tapping the excess off.

Front Sentiment (My Favorite Things - Home Spun Hearts clear set

Inside Sentiment - Penny Black-From the Heart clear set (30-207)

Inside border - Martha Stewart

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great day.

Until later...........

Do You See What I See

Hello friends.  Another cold front is passing through, and I am nursing a slight sore throat and cough.

I decided as I was putting away my Christmas papers and stamps and dies, that I would not put away the ones I hadn't used yet.  The one I am showing you today, I bought last year and didn't even ink it up this year....until today!

A CAS card for me today.  Really unusual for me, but

wanted to try my hand at coloring with distress inks.

I stamped on water color paper, colored with distress inks

and a water pen.  Added the sentiment which is a

Memory Box die, and added the bow.

There are ten birds and animals in this little

scene.  Stickles on the star and snow on the ground.

Going to enter this card into the challenge at

ABC Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes with the option of Antlers

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later.....
