Vintage Winter Wonderland

     Faux embossing can be easily achieved by using the same colors of paper and then it can be stepped up by adding a little shine using glitter.  Peg created this winter scene by covering a piece of card stock in glitter and then layered snowflakes over the top to give the embossed effect.  This technique can be used to add extra touches to your projects and is one of Peg's favorite techniques.



Supplies Needed:

    From Art Glitter-

      White Satin Glitter~

      Silver Moon Glitter~ ;

      Xyron Machine~

      Designer Dries Clear Adhesive~

     Ultrafine  Metal Tip~  

Other Supplies Needed:

     White Card Stock, Card Stock Color of Your Choice, Water Color Paints (or markers or colored pencils of your choice), Stencil (The one used here is from Sin City Stamps), snowflake punch and or die   

     Peg began by coloring in the image she was using and then adding glitter to some of the areas to add some winter glisten to it.

     Next, she placed a piece of 7" x 5" white card stock through a Xyron.       

     After removing the backing sheet, she lightly sprinkled white satin glitter over the entire sheet.  She punched enough snowflakes to cover all four of the edges of the card around the picture and then add Designer Dries Clear Adhesive to the backs of the snowflakes with a paint brush.  She adhered them down to the card base making sure some of them slightly hung over the edges.



      She went around and trimmed up the edges of the snowflakes that over hung.  She placed the image onto the piece of colored card stock for layering and then adhered it to the card.

     Add a simple faux embossed look and shine to any creation by choosing the same colors to use and then adding a little glitter.  It's easy to do and will make any project stand out.  Have fun creating them for any season!

All Things That Sparkle and Shine

 

 

 

Peg has been making various types of ornaments for years.  She has found that they are a great addition to her family's tree and make wonderful gifts.  This year she created these beautiful glittered ornaments using Art Glitter. 

 

Supplies Needed:

  Glitter from Art Glitter- The more ornaments you create the more glitter colors you will need.

Fire Engine Red Ultrafine Opaque Glitter-http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Rartglitter.html

Challis Ultrafine Opaque Hologram Glitter-http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Rartglitter.html

 

Also Needed:

  Glass or Plastic Ornaments

  A bottle of rubbing alcohol

   Floor Cleaner-NOTE:  It must have the word "FINISH" on it (Pledge or Mop & Glo work best)

   Funnel

 

Begin by removing the metal tops from the ornaments and pouring some rubbing alcohol into them.  Slowly turn the ornament around making sure to not create any bubbles and to cover every part of the ornament to get it well cleaned.  Pour the alcohol into a separate container to use for additional ornaments.  

 Pour some of the floor cleaner into the ornament and slowly move around making sure to cover the entire area including the opening.  Pour the cleaner into another container to use later.  You can also pour it back into the bottle.

Pour the glitter into the ornament through a funnel.  Slowly turn the ornament around to cover all of it.  You can add more glitter if needed to get it covered.  

Turn the ornament upside down and all the glitter to fall out.  Make sure that all of the loose glitter is removed.  

Allow the ornaments to dry upside down for a day.  You can turn an empty egg carton upside down and cut the very bottom out of it and place the neck of the ornament through the hole to hold it while it dries. 

 

 Once the ornament has dried, place the top back onto the ornament and then slide the wire hanger back in.  This will prevent the hanger from scratching the glitter off. 

 

Create a bow and glue it onto the neck of the ornament.  

 Add a little shine to the holidays with these gorgeous ornaments using Art Glitter.  Hang them on your own tree or give them as gifts.  They will bring joy year after year to everyone.

 Happy Holidays Everyone!

Glistening Holiday Greeting

 

And

 

 

Add a little color and sparkle to all of your projects this holiday season with Tombow Markers and Art Glitter.  The Art Glitter design team has been having fun already creating things for the holidays.  Peg likes the traditions of the holidays and one of the symbols of a traditional Christmas to her is the poinsettia.  Every year she buys one to enjoy.  Speaking of enjoying, be sure to enjoy the PROMO CODE TB20 for 20% off of your $25 or more order this month. 

 

Supplies Needed:

From Art Glitter: 

     Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter-http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Rartglitter.html

     Designer Dries Clear Glue-http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Radhesives.htm

     Ultrafine Metal Tip-http://www.artglitter.com/retail/rtools.htm

     Spoons-http://www.artglitter.com/retail/rtools.htm

 

From Tombow

     Retro Dual Brush Pens-http://tombowusa.com/craft/markers/dual-brush-pen-set-6-retro.html

 

Additional Supplies:

 

      Card stock for card base, patterned paper for card, 1 piece of ribbon, fine paint brush, image printed off internet (remember to find ones that are copyright free to use)

 

After you have printed your image use the markers to color it.  Here Peg chose to search for a poinsettia image online using the search terms," poinsettia clip art." 



Place the metal tip on the bottle of glue and add a small amount of it to one section of the image.  Be sure to work in small sections so the glue doesn't dry before the glitter is added.  Once the line of glue is on the image, use the paint brush to spread it out over the area.

Then, sprinkle the glitter over the glued area. Allow it to sit for a minute to adhere well and then shake the excess back into the container.  Once the glue has dried the color will show through. How cool is that?   Continue repeating these steps until all of the areas are covered that you want.  For this image, Peg chose to leave some areas open for contrast.  She added glitter over the flower centers to make them stand out from the poinsettia. 

 

 Allow it to completely dry and then assemble the card.

 

Now, you can send a little sparkle to someone this holiday season or any time of year.  Color an image with the fabulous Tombow markers and then add some clear glitter for a look that's out of this world.  Gather those supplies and get to work.  The holidays will be here before you know it!

Double Glitter Tree

Decorating for the Holidays

 

 

Before we all know it the holidays will be here.  Now is the time to start thinking about gifts which means you will, also, need gift bags.  It also means time to start getting out those decorations.  This unique project using the fabulous stencils from Dreamweaver and the gorgeous glitter from Art Glitter can double as a bag and decoration for the holiday season.

 

                                

 



IN SEPTEMBER USE PROMO CODE DW20 FOR 20% OFF THE RETAIL PRICES WITH A $25 PURCHASE.  For 20% off your stencils go to Stencil with Style and use the code SWS20!

 

 

Supplies Used:

     From Art Glitter:

•        Glitter- http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Rartglitter.html:%3C/div>
•           Crystal Ultrafine Transparent
•           Nutmeg Ultrafine Opaque
•           Garnet Ultrafine Opaque
•           Varsity Blue Ultrafine Pearlescent
•            Designer Dries Clear Glue- http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Radhesives.htm-
•            Ultrafine Metal Tip- http://www.artglitter.com/retail/rtools.htm
•            Spoon Man! Spoons- http://www.artglitter.com/retail/rtools.htm



     From Dreamweaver:

•  Double Sided Mounting Paper: 
•  Leafless Tree Stencil:          
• Dreamweaver Brush: 

Also needed:  Gift Bag with Handles, 1 Piece of Dark Blue Card Stock, Your favorite doily or circle punch

Peg chose to use the double glitter technique which can be found on YouTube being done by Lynell Harlow from Dreamweaver Stencils to create this gift bag/winter decoration.  It is a very easy technique that adds a wonderful background to any stenciled project. 

 She placed the stencil on the double sided mounting paper as shown in the video and trimmed it to size.  Then, she used some of the Crystal glitter to give the tree a snowy affect around the top.  She added the Nutmeg around the base of the tree and some of the top of the tree to define it. She placed the Garnet glitter into the areas for the cardinals on the stencils.  After that, she removed the stencil as shown in the video and lightly sprinkled some of the Crystal glitter around the bottom of the adhesive sheet to represent snow on the ground.  Then, she used the Varsity Blue glitter to fill in the rest to represent the sky.  When Peg used the brush to remove the excess glitter, she also allowed the blue to come off in areas and sprinkled some of the Crystal glitter in those areas to create more of a winter sky look. 

Peg added some of the Garnet glitter around the edges of her doily using the Designer Dries Clear Glue to help it stand out, too. 

 

This sparkly decorated bag can be used to give a special gift this holiday season to someone you know.  Add a battery operated light and use it to decorate your home or to welcome friends that come to your door.  This wonderful little bag can be used after the holidays to celebrate the winter season so there's no reason to have to put away with all of the other decorations!

Geared Up!

 

It's All About Steampunk

 

 

 

I was thrilled when we teamed up with Want 2 Scrap this month and I received the Sprightly Sprockets Chipboard Album.  I knew right away I wanted to do something with a Steampunk style to it and it had to have a lot of glitter because there's nothing better than a project with a lot of bling. 

 

I chose to use these products:

 From Art Glitter http://www.artglitter.com/

 

     Glitter

        Monarch Microfine Opaque Glitter

        Sunrise Ultrafine Opaque Glitter

        Saddlebag Ultrafine Opaque Glitter

        Challis Ultrafine Opaque Glitter

        Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter

        Razzle Dazzle Glitter Kit

        Spoon Man! Spoons: 

        Ultrafine Metal Tip: 

        Stamp Pad: 

        8 1/2 x 11 Transparency Sheets: 

        

   Sprightly Sprockets Chipboard Album

 

Additional Items Needed:

    Black acrylic paint, 2 paint brushes: 1 wide and 2 narrow, metallic paint (Mica Color Metallic Paint Set from UsArtQuest used) 1 piece of patterned paper, various colors of cardstock that match the Steampunk colors to cover chipboard pages, Steampunk themed stamps, acrylic stamp block, feathers, dry and wet adhesives

 

 

      Begin by painting the front cover with the black acrylic paint and allow to dry.  Choose some of the pages to adhere the card stock to and stamp some images onto those.  Dress them up by adding some glitter to the images.  Leave some pages blank and use some of the ideas below to dress them up.   

 

     Once the paint has dried, paint some of the gears using the metallic paint and allow those to dry.  

 

    





     

      Now, spread some Designer Dries Clear Glue onto some of the other gears, working on one at a time and then sprinkle glitter of the glue.  Allow the glitter to sit on the glue for a couple of minutes so that it adheres and then shake the excess back into the bottle.    Once it is dry, adhere the piece of patterned paper to the first solid page of the book and adhere the gears frame to the top.  Place some of the Nestabling circles that come with the album on a few of the glittered gears and cut one of the small ones in half and place it on the half gear on the bottom right. 

 

 

     Working with one feather at a time, run a line of glue down the stem of the feather and add some small dots onto the rest of it and sprinkle glitter over the top of the glue.  Allow it to sit to adhere before shaking off the extra.  Once the feathers are complete, place the feathers between one of the pages and the card stock covering that is covering the chipboard page and adhere it down. 

     Cut pieces  of  the acetate to match the size of the pages.  This will create extra pages to the book, but the page behind it that is covered with card stock can have pictures added to it so they show through for a really great look.  Stamp the image onto the bottom right corner of the transparency and allow to start drying.  While the ink is still a little wet(it will have a beaded look while still wet) sprinkle the glitter over the top (I used the Challis glitter) and allow it to sit for several hours or overnight to dry.  Now, use a clean, dry paintbrush and start vigorously brushing off the glitter. 

      This is what your image will look like after the previous step is complete.  Line the page up with one of the book pages and punch the holes into it and place it in the book.  You can do this with as many pages as you would like. 

     If you like Steampunk, you can't go wrong with this album.  With the addition of the products from Art Glitter it puts it over the top!  Get a start on one now and purchase the supplies you will need by using the promo code August W2S20  for 20% off any $25 order or more at Art Glitter.  Don't forget to head over to Want 2 Scrap and get the album while you are shopping, too.
