Hello Crafters!
Welcome to the DIE-cember Blog Hop!
If you're just stopping by you can start at the beginning with the Simon Says Stamp Blog. If you've been hopping along you should be coming by way of my fantastic friend Heather Ruwe.
I know there's been a ton of inspiration out there already using a lot of the amazing dies from this release but as far as I'm concerned where's there's glitter paper it's never too much!
Oh yes, I said glitter paper.
BAM!!!
Everything little glittery thing. I am so smitten right now you guys!
Not to diminish the actual die release because that is also pretty stellar.
You can see the entire release below.
I know what you're thinking . . .
There's too many must haves to make a choice.
I agree.
Good Luck!
haha.
When I sat down to do my card I really wanted to know if I could use Distress Oxides or Copics to change the color or add shading.
Turns out, you can do both!!
You can watch the card come together in the video below
I do want to note, just like I said in the video, the glitter paper did become more "shimmery" and less glittery after the distress oxides. Though honestly it's still gorgeous.
The Copics didn't lose any glitter but they didn't blend as well.
Either way it's nice to have options!
Befoee you go Simon Says Stamp is generously giving away a $25 gift certificate for every stop on the hop!

Supplies:
Interesting use of the glitter paper - love the bold sentiment stamped using two colors - clever idea
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card !
ReplyDeleteLove the glitter
ReplyDeleteKelly, the way you combined papers, dies, inks and stamping for this card is so well done! Thanks for the comments about inks on the glitter paper. Always helpful to learn from another's experience. tfs
ReplyDeleteSoooo Nice....gotta love glitter.
ReplyDeleteThank you
I think it looked good before you added the white Nuvo drops, but I do like it better afterwards as well. Don't sell yourself short! You took a lot of time with all that inlaying, and it created a really cool effect. One thing I would caution people about is to be careful using the copics on glitter paper; dab or tap on the color, but don't color as you would on regular cardstock because you could ruin the nibs.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. That glitter paper is beyond gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo, so beautiful, I love it! All the glitter... LOVE!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the glitter paper used as the background
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I like options ☺

ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty Kelly, it's good to know that this glitter paper can be coloured (although with all of the colour choices you probably wouldn't need to) however it does happen when there isn't an exact match for a project... TFS!

Thank you for listing all the Simon Says Stamp supplies available including the older stock with the other critters. I have a passion at the moment with critters. I absolutely love the new three penguins but the other critters especially the moose are adorable. I love your choice of die and glitter paper. I also like the fact that you brought in a older large sentiment die believe. I love my Nuvo black drops too for embellishment where I can. :O) I would love to win some of these Simon Says Stamp new releases. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed. :O)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your card, my favorite part is the colors, the glitter. I think the colors are so pretty together and great refreshing colors for Christmas. Thanks. Tracey Magner
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cardvx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I am a fan of your cards and I love the 'custom coloured' glittery paper :D
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness....all the dies are sooooo cute and your cards (as always) are stunning...I have to admit that I want ALL of the Picture book dies...they are just too cute....

ReplyDeleteI love the experimentation in your video! I would never have thought of blending inks or adding markers to the glitter paper!
ReplyDeleteGreat video and it is great to know that you can alter the color on the glitter paper with copics! What a plus that is! I am loving everything in this release and trying to figure out how I can buy it all!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I like your process video and how when you didn't like it you altered it to suit you. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for including your "improvements" when you aren't satisfied with a first attempt! It is very reassuring to know that even the most creative pros make an occasional boo boo. Your suggested remedies can sometimes be the most important part of the process. Impressive video!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love the purple sky. You are absolutely right -- there are WAY too many "must haves" to make a choice!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you used and the idea of coloring on the white glitter paper! What a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteVery cool idea.
ReplyDeleteThere definitely is so many of the new dies that I want, and one of them happens to be the die you've featured in your fabulous card, Kelly! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteKelly, love your card! Great use of the glitter paper on your background.
ReplyDeletestunning card - love the unusual colors:)

ReplyDeleteI love how you added the distress oxides to make your own glitter background. Very nice.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love that you used distress oxide and copic on the glitter paper. I will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteI think your card is beautiful. I love that evergreen die and the distress oxide background glitter paper is lovely.

ReplyDeleteLove the color take - great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors! They really grab my attention then I see how pretty the card is. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I think you did a great job and I too think I can draw little stitched lines and end up being mad at myself! I would have never thought to ink blend on the glitter paper and I think the card turned out great!
ReplyDeleteI think this is stunning. Love the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I want everything - what a fantastic release!

ReplyDeleteLoved your video and your running commentary. Love the idea of being able to color the glitter paper with distress inks. You are my kind of person, getting the most out of your supplies-- trimming down the glitter paper. If you can't see it, trim it down. Very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteKelly, you are hilarious! I didn't think the black stitching was "hideous" but you did and you came up with a creative way to change it. I love that! I have no idea how I'm going to pick from this awesome release. My kids don't really need Christmas presents, do they?

ReplyDeleteKelly you are my hero in the middle of the night!! I have a special needs daughter who is now 17 they told me she was not going to make it to see 5 well we showed them.
