glittered cards

Designer: Janna Wilson
Stamps are a wonderful tool to utilize on cards. Combined with glitter? Totally fabulous! A glue pad comes in handy to apply glitter to the entire image or just add glittering details with a glue pen. I've created three different cards with glitter and stamps, and I hope you enjoy!

Instructions (Print version)

1. Create a card with a finished size of 4 1/4” x 5 ½ ” from brown paper and add a 2 ½” strip along the lower edge of the card (card will open at bottom).
2. Stamp elephant design with glue pad and add glitter to image.
3. Cut pink cardstock strips with Cloud Paper Edgers to add to the top and bottom of the blue strip.  Zig zag stitch along top of strip and add dots of glue and glitter along tip strip.
4. Print sentiment on white cardstock and add to lower right corner.
5. Place a line of glue along the lower edge of the blue strip that is visible to the left of the sentiment.  Add glitter.

1. Cut green cardstock to size: 8” x 9” and fold in half to create a 4 x 9 card.
2. Cut a strip of brown paper 2” x 8” and stamp repeating swirl design with glue pad.  Do 3-4 stamps and then add glitters—this way the glue doesn’t dry.  Repeat the process until you have covered the strip.  (Don’t worry about the mid-section where the circle will go.)
3. Mat brown strip on a slightly larger piece of darker green cardstock.  Trim green cardstock edges with Cloud Paper Edgers.
4. Snip a V out of the brown strip and adhere to center of card flush to top.

5. Use Circle Cutter to create about a 3” circle; stamp turtle in green ink.  Using a fine tip glue applicator, apply glue to details of stamped image; add glitter.
6. Once glitter is thoroughly dry on turtle, add to larger brown circle and trim around edges with Scallop Paper Edgers.
7. Add circle embellishment to brown strip with Glue Dots pop dots.

1. Create a card with a finished size of 5” x 7” from brown paper and add a 2 ½” strip along the lower edge of the card (card will open at bottom).
2. Cut a 4” x 6” piece of green cardstock and mount to a slightly larger piece of white cardstock; trim around edges with Scallop Paper Edgers.
3. Create onesie design on white cardstock. 
TIP:  Use the XLarge Round N Round Squeeze Punch to make the circular neck and leg openings for the onesie.
4. Use three colors of ink to stamp a repeating pattern on the onsie.  Choose one of the colors to highlight with glitter.  Stamp over your selected color with a glue pad and add a similar/same color of glitter.  Do 3-4 stamps and then add glitters—this way the glue doesn’t dry.  Repeat the process until you have covered all of the images.

5. Attach the onesie to card with Glue Dots pop dots.  Finish off the design with a bow at neck and three gems at bottom.
