WELCOME to our Technique Blog Hop!! This month there are 13 of us highlighting "Quick Glitz" as shown on page 35 of the
Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book under Tips and
Techniques. This blog is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.
Let's get started!
If you are coming from Sheila Wilkersons' blog, then you are on the right track!
Take a look at this 12x12 overlay page I created with clear cardstock,
stamps, and glitter!
Will the Cricut cut slippery material like a heavy transparency? Absolutley! I admit, I was a little nervous, but it cut it like butta!I have been kicking this idea around for awhile, and decided to give it a try. I used my Art philosophy cartridge and cut an offset circle
on my 12x12 clear sheet. Then I applied StazOn White ink with a sponge around the circle to give it the frosted window look. Then stamped all kinds of snowflakes around the page.
Add some Bling and glitz baby! |
Can't wait to get a photo in there! |
BEFORE-page without glitter glitz applied to page-BORING! |
I used the Snowflakes stamp set #D1480, which I also was able to cut the image out with the cricut and stamped Snow Flurries #D1384. What pretty snowflakes! I also used liquid glass to apply the bling in the center of each of the big snowflakes and some silver Glitz glitter gel (Z1482)around the center of the rhinestone. Then I used some Stardust glitter Gel and applied some swirls around the circle I cut in the page, and added some more chunky glitter on top of that! Talk about sparkle. WHoa!!! The snowflakes I cut out using the Art Philosophy cartridge, where all glittered up too, along with the "SNOW" title.
The background paper I used behind the clear page is "Magnifique".

Dear Santa Card..
Love that little ribbon slide!! Looks like Santas Belt Buckle!! Hope you found some inspiration here.. Merry Christmas! |
I love this page. Thanks for braving the unknown for us all and trying out the cricut with acetate. I have some 12 x 12 sheets in my stash that I've been wanting to use (but not waste) and this is just the idea I've been needing. I hope you don't mind if we all borrow this idea.
ReplyDeleteLove the glitter. I think glitter is just another fashion accessory for the face and body.
"If it ain't got bling, it just don't sing." LOL
