With Thanks

 

Clean and Simple is what my card is all about.  I dug out an old leaf image rubber stamp to use as my focal point.  I used Memento Rich Cocoa Ink for the leaf. Then I colored it with a Spica pen in Melon Green.  And added orange and clear glitter with my *Wink of Stella Brush.  (I am so addicted to these glitter brushes).  I added Aged Spice and Aged Hunter embossing powders by Stampendous called Fran-Tage. The Border paper is from my stash.  The button was made using a silicone mold and some Martha Stewart paper clay.  And I added more Aged Spice and Aged Hunter to the button.  My card is 5-1/2” square.  And the base of the card is Kraft card stock.  Everything is held together using a Tombow Adhesive Tape Runner.

The following products can be purchased from the Cutters Creek Online Store:

Memento Ink Pad-Rich Cocoa

Tombow Adhesive Tape Runner

Stampendous Fran-Tage

Copic Atyou Spica Glitter Pen – Melon

*Note: Kim will be carrying the Wink and Stella Brushes in the near future.

If you are interested in any of the other products I used you can contact Kim of Cutters Creek to see if she can special order it for you.

Have a wonderful day,

Just For You Card by Fran

 

I wanted to stay on the simple side when I thought about my project.   So I chose to use a card base that was originally designed by Bird.  She shares her files and I found one that was quick to cut out on my Silhouette Portrait.

 

 

Card Details:  All solid color papers are from my Stash.  The printed paper is by Graphic 45 (6x6”) paper pad called Indie Bloom.  What I like the most about the card is that it had a cut out area to weave ribbon through.  So it is just like me that I wanted the ribbon to match the green shade in the printed paper.  So I took winter white seam binding and dyed it using Distress Ink pad in two different shades to get the green that closely matched the green in the printed paper.  The colors of the Distress Ink pads used were Shabby Shutters and Peacock Feathers.

TIP:  Seam binding is very soft and making a bow can be challenging.  Once I make my bow I protect the rest of my card and I spray hair spray on the bow.  I let it dry and then form the bow.  The hair spray gives just the right amount of stiffness to give the loops a little body.

The sentiment was stamped using Stampendous Stamp Set called Friendly Messages using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The centers on the cut out flower border is Distress Stickles (Spiced Marmalade).   I used a Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper (Deco). 

I needed to make some adjustments on the the papers so they would be the correct size and for that I used a great tool called  the Perfect Ruler.  And all the pieces are held in place using Glossy Accents and Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive.  OOPS I almost forgot about the bling on the corners of the sentiment tag.  I used KaiserCraft  Rhinestones in a pretty shade of orange.

The following items can be purchased from the Cutters Creek Online Store:

Distress Ink Pads

Distress Stickles

Tombow  Mono Adhesive

The Perfect Ruler

Glossy Accents

Graphic 45 Paper Pads 

Memento Ink Pad

One Day at a Time by Deanna M

 I just recently received the 6 new stickles colors from Cutters Creek, and oh my are they ever beautiful. If you haven't ordered yours yet, you do not want to miss out on these. The colors are beautiful and will be great for the upcoming holiday crafting season. Now just to tempt you just a bit more, I made a color chart for you so you could experience the colors yourself.

Aren't they beautiful???? Now, are you ready for a project that uses some of these colors? Great because I have one for you!

I started with a piece of kraft card stock cut and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. My patterned paper is from a My Minds Eye Bluebell paper pad that I received from the 6" x 6" paper pad club that I belong to through the Cutters Creek Yahoo Group. Kim usually has several clubs running at once. She does her best to keep the cost down to around $20. They are billed the same day each month and at the end if you have paid on time you receive a free gift. Just join the Cutters Creek Yahoo Group to find out more. I will spill a secret and let you all know that Kim has just opened sign ups for the new Distress Glitter club. Interested??? Join the group for details.

Now back to the card! I used a scalloped chipboard oval from Want 2 Scrap (a free gift from a club!). I stained it with some Broken China Distress Stain (another club product!). I then sprayed it with some Sea Glass Glimmer Mist. Once it was dried I used the Ice Blue Stickles on the lacy scallop edges. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. They were colored with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers. I used the Ice Blue Stickles for the center of my flowers and to add some sparkle to my butterfly. The heart on the flower pot I used the Cranberry Stickles. I used some Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to adhere my  scallop to my card and to adhere my images to the oval. My tickets are inked with some Tim Holtz distress ink in Faded Jeans and Tumbled Glass. To finish the card I stamped my sentiment with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added some rhinestone bling.

Now don't forget to join the Cutters Creek Yahoo Group to find out more about the clubs and all the products in the store. You won't regret it. It is a great way to add to your crafting supply without breaking the budget!!

I Love Anna Griffin with Kim B.

I so love everything Anna Griffin.  She does everything with such elegance and grace.  I have met her several times and she is so sweet and loveable.  I have beautiful scrapbook pages of her and I using her products and I really treasure those pages.  My project today is using one of her new embossing folders, Rosa.

Before I start on the project, would you like to know how my customers are getting their hands on these gorgeous folders?  I think it is worth few minutes of your time to read on and find out.  Cutters Creek realized some time back that the economy was making budgets tight for many crafters however they did not want to give up their love of crafting and wanted to be able to get the newest and greatest products and also some oldies but goodies as well.  I also realized that many crafters love an array of colors to choose from however on a tight budget, they would have to pick and choose a few colors of their item of choice and just could not afford to purchase 10, 20, 30 colors but they sure did want them all!  So the Cutters Creek Clubs were born.  I often do clubs where members can collect all colors over a six month period.  I generally try and keep the Clubs around $20 and I reduce my flat rate store shipping down as well to make that $20 to include shipping charges.  My customers love the clubs because they get a monthly package of crafty goodness at a low affordable price and I usually keep what they are getting as a surprise so they get even more joy out of their purchase.  As an avid crafter myself, I put myself in my customers mindset to make selections of items I would like to receive and not just send them items to send them stuff.  The Cutters Creek Clubs are all about my customers and their joy.  My joy comes from how delighted they are each month.  We usually are running any where from 5-9 clubs at any given time and you do need to join on the onset of a Club's beginning.  If you are interested in playing along with us, please click HERE to join the Cutters Creek Store Yahoo Group to check up out.  We are a very warm and friendly group free from drama and you also get insider information and scoops and updates on products as well.  We would love to have you, so please stop by!

If you have gotten this far through my post (and I thank you for hanging in there with me), it is time to show off my project!  I made the two cards below with the Anna Griffin Folder Rosa that my Club members have received already.  My third grand daughter was due on July 28th and still has not made her entrance as of yet.  This will be my daughter's first child and we can't wait to met her, especially my daughter who is a little bit tired of being pregnant right now.  You ladies who have had children know what I mean.  One card is to my new grand daughter with a note inside from grandma with a gift of bibs that say all kinds of wonderful things about grand mothers.  The other is a card welcoming my daughter into motherhood and her gift is a beautiful necklace.  I wanted to give her something special because if you have experienced the birth of a child, you know that once the baby comes, the child becomes the one that everyone has interest in and mom is kind of forgotten a bit.  So as my daughter's mom, I want her to know that I think she is beautiful and special and I love her with all my heart.  Here are the cards:

 

The background of my grand daughter's card uses the embossing folder and my daughter's card uses the included matching border.  I love that Anna's folders also include the matching border in the package.  I also hand wrote "MOM" on my daughters card (on the baby bottle) with one of my Spica pens by Copic and then added some Stickles over top of that for some extra bling and pop.  I also inked the edges of the elements on her card with a Memento Ink Pad which is also another Club currently in progress. 

 

I hope you enjoyed my project!!  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

 

Authors Edit:  This was scheduled before the baby was born however she (Isabeau Helene) was born August 3rd weighing 9lbs 7ozs:

 

 

 

 



A Berry Happy Birthday with Lori

Have you been using your Copic markers lately? I pulled mine out and made this fun birthday card that will be perfect for one of my daughter's friends or one of my great-nieces.

The papers are leftovers from the Country Drive kit from Echo Park Paper, plus some cardstock from my stash. The stamp is from my stash (sorry I don't remember the brand), and I colored her with the Copics.  I cut my mats using some Sizzix dies I also had in my stash, and embellished the card with ribbon and a bling-y button leftover from a sewing project. My matted image is popped up on some foam adhesive squares. All of my paper edges are ink distressed; I used a couple of colors in my stash, but you can use the Memento ink pads or the Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this.

As usual, I made sure to stamp my image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the Xpress Blending Card for the easiest coloring.

I colored my image with the following colors:

• Hair - E33, E37, E59
• Skin - E02, E11, E13
• Dress & Strawberry - YG03, YG06, YG07, YG09, RV21, RV23, RV34
• Shoes - C6, 100
• Shadow - C1, C2, C3

Items available at Cutters Creek:

• Country Drive kit, Echo Park Paper
• Xpress Blending Card
• Memento Ink pad in Tuxedo Black
• Copic Markers (I use Sketch)
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink
• Scotch Pop-up Foam Squares

 I hope you enjoyed my card today! I'd love to see what you've been coloring with your Copics lately - be sure to link them here or post them in the Cutters Creek Yahoo group.

Hello Sunshine! by Deanna M

We have had some awesome weather the last few days and it just seemed like a good idea to make a card that  celebrated our sunshine.

For my card I made a circle easel card. It was a fun a quick card to put together. The card base and all the pieces but the bee were made using dies and my eBosser.

I used a Scalloped Spellbinder Die to make my card base, the front and the little part on the inside of the card so it would stand up. I also used a set of circle dies that Kim special ordered for me. Here are pictures of the die sets I used.

I started with a piece of  white card stock that I cut and score to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I then took my Scalloped Spellbinder Dies and using the biggest die in the set I cut the die shape out of my folded card base, being careful to place the die about a 1/2" above the fold line on my card base. This created the hinge in my card and gave me the scalloped circle card. I then cut the largest die again out of a second piece of white paper so I had a complete scallop. I took my scalloped card base and scored it down the middle so I could fold it in half. I also scored it at 2" from the top of one of the scallops.  Here is a picture of the inside of the card so you can see the score lines.

Next I the circle die set the Kim special ordered for me. I cut the largest of the circle out of black. I cut the next size circle out of some patterned paper from the Echo Park Country Drive paper pad. (The store is currently out of stock but if you are interested in the paper pad please contact Kim through the Customer Service link in the store.)

Once I had adhered the different layers to the single scallop which would serve as my card front I attached it to my card base. I used my Scotch Quick Dry adhesive to put all my pieces and layers together. While the glue does dry quickly you still have a few seconds to move your layers around to be sure they like up properly. This is one of my favorite adhesives and I use it on almost all my projects.

The honeycombed pattern paper is actually the reverse side of the  blue bee paper. To get these layers, I used the scalloped dies starting with the largest and going one step down for each layer. I cut the base layer in white, the next layer in black and the final layer out of the honeycombed patterned paper. When I cut these I cut only half of the die out. Once I had them all cut I trimmed them down so I could layer them. The white layer is approximately 2", the black layer is approximately 1 3/4" and the patterned paper layer is approximately 1 1/2". I stamped my sentiment with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The Memento ink is my go to ink and I strongly recommend it.

Now for my little bee! He was cut at 2 1/2" from the Create A Critter cartridge. This is one of my favorite cartridges and Kim can special order it for you. I cut the base layer out of black, the second layer out of the yellow and the wing layer out of some heavy tracing paper that my DH gave me from his work. For the wings, I wanted a bit of sparkle to them so I used some Butterscotch Glimmer Glam to the wings to give them some sparkle. I added the bee to my card front with some foam tape and added some Black Stickles to the ends of the antennas.


I sure hope you have enjoyed my card. I would love to hear what you think.

Happy Birthday Card by Deanna M

For my project today I am sharing the birthday card I made for my mom who's birthday is later this month.

My card base is a cream card stock cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. All of my paper is from the Secret Garden paper pads by Graphic 45. I used papers from both the 8" X 8" and the 6" X 6" paper pad. I cut a purple mat at 4" X 5 1/4" and then cream paper at 3 3/4" X 5". Next I cut a mat using my Silhouette Cameo. I cut the shadow at approximate 3 1/2" and the base layer at 3". I ran the cream scalloped through my eBosser and embossed it with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. (If I could only have one embossing folder the Swiss Dots folder would be my choice. It is so versatile.)

I inked all my mats with some Tea Dye Distress ink and a sponge dabber.  I had a piece of cream lace with pearls on it that I used a paint dabber to apply some of the Tea Dye distress ink to.  I applied the lace to my card with some Scor-Tape.My dress and hanger are a Memory Box die. (No Kim can't get these yet, but I keep asking her! One of these days soon I hope she can). I cut my Hanger from some Kraft card stock and then inked it with some of the Tarnished Brass Distress Stain. (Distress Stain is a special order item, but don't hesitate to ask). The pearls I added to the waist of the dress are some I cut off from the lace. I adhered the dress to the scalloped mat with some foam tape.

I cut 6 flowers using the George and Basic Shapes cartridge and inked them with some of the Shaded Lilac distress ink. I used my Petal Roller by Imaginisce to make my roses. I hot glued the layers together. My leaves were cut at 1" and are from the  Flower Shoppe cartridge (Heart). I inked my leaves with Peeled Paint distress ink and a sponge dabber. I also creased the center of the leaves and inked them with the Peeled Paint distressed ink to create a center vein in the leaf. I adhered the flowers and leaves to my card with some scotch quick dry adhesive.  I added a pearl to the center of one rose using some bisque liquid pearls.

 I stamped my sentiment with some Rich Cocoa Memento ink. Lastly I added a small butterfly from my stash.

Happy Birthday Card by Deanna M

I was watching some youtube videos yesterday and saw a project that someone did using a white card base and a white mat with just a little bit of color added as embellishments. I wanted to try making my own version of that card and this is what I came up with.

My card base is white card stock cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. My card is a portrait card, I cut a white card stock mat 4" X 4" and ran it through my eBosser and embossed it with the Script Texture Cuttlebug embossing folder. I love my eBosser, it does such a wonderful job embossing and die cutting and I love that it is all electric, no cranking to help my white mat stand out from the white card base a bit I laid it on a piece of paper and using my Cool Gray 1 Copic Marker I traced around the outside edge of the mat using the brush tip. This applied a faint line of the light gray marker around the outside edge. I used my Scotch Quick Dry adhesive to adhere my mat to my card base.

Now for my pop of color. I wanted to add a flower to my card and found this one in the Silhouette store. I used the print and cut feature to color it and cut it out. The center of the flower was originally a heart which I didn't want, so I cut a small circle instead. Again, I adhered my layers together with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive. I added my flower to my card front with some Kool-Tak Clear foam adhesives. To finish my flower I used my Buttercup Liquid Pearls to add some tiny pearls around the outer edge of my green flower center. That is what I love about Liquid Pearls, I always have the right color and size of pearl I want because I can make whatever size I need.

Finally I added a White Opal pearl using Liquid Pearls again, in each corner of my mat to help anchor it. My sentiment is stamped in Rose Bud Memento ink. This was a super quick card to put together but I am really happy how it turned out.

Wedding Card with Lori

Hello! Seems it's been a while since I've been here; the germs have been rocking our house a little hard this month.  Anyway, today I have a pretty wedding easel card to share with you.  The hubs came home last week and told me he needs a card for a coworker getting married.  Since he'll be delivering it in person, I was happy to make it thick and chunky because I don't have to deal with mailing it, lol.  Here's what I came up with:

I pulled out one of my few wedding stamps (I think it's Bildmalarna) and my Copic Markers.  I knew I wanted to use that beautiful doily die again, so I cut a circle from Xpress Blending Card to fit the center. I stamped my image on the circle and colored it with my Copics.

I made my 6x6 easel card using CTMH cardstock and Authentique papers from my stash.  I placed the stopper for my easel near the top of the inside instead of the traditional placement near the bottom so it would stand up almost straight. I made sure to pop up the top strip with foam adhesive to keep it from popping closed.  I also added some rhinestone brads for bling.

I raised the doily off the card front using more foam adhesive for added depth and interest.  I embellished using Prima Fairytale Roses and Cutters Creek branded flowers.  I inked the CC flowers to darken them a bit since they were the same shade as the darker Fairytale Roses, and I wanted to add a little more color variety. The flowers are all adhered using Glossy Accents.

It's hard to see in the pictures, but I added sparkle to the eyelet areas of the wedding dress using a clear Copic Spica pen. 


Supplies available at Cutters Creek:

• X-press Blending Card
• Copic Markers
• Copic Spica pen in Clear
• Prima Fairytale Roses in Baby Pink
• Cutters Creek branded flowers Micro Roses in Pink Shades
• Memento ink in Tuxedo Black
• Cheery Lynn Designs Doily Die (I used the English Tea Party design)
• Ranger Inkssentials Glossy Accents
• Foam Adhesive (your choice of 3M or ASI Kool Tak)

Other Supplies Used:

• Cardstock
• Pattern Paper (I used Authentique)
• Ink to sponge flowers & paper edges (the Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads in the store would work great)

 

Baby Mini Album by Deanna M

We hope you are enjoying our full week of projects in honor of National Crafting Day. Today is my day and I have for you today a Baby Girl Mini Album I made for a friend of my daughter's who is having a baby in May.

I cut the album using my Silhouette Cameo at 5".  All of the patterned paper in the book is cut at 4 1/2" and is from Prima. I used the Sweet Fairy collection which is currently sold out in the store. If you are interested in it, let Kim know and she may be able to order it for you.

I also use Stickles, Memento Ink, Zip Dry and Scotch Quick Dry Adhesives to adhere my elements to the album along with some stickers from my collection. The book is bound using some Doodlebug Baby Girl twine assortment.

Now, I have a video for you that walks you through the book page by page.

I hope you will let me know what you think. Leave us a comment telling us how you have been liking the week and what you are doing during National Crafting Month.

Be Mine by Deanna M

I have another Valentine Day card for you today. I do think this card would work great for an Anniversary or even a Birthday too. Or just to say Hello to someone, and let them know you are thinking about them.

So the last card I made used some Hero Art stamps. While I later found out that Hero Arts makes a die that fits those stamps. (Yes, Kim can order Hero Arts products. Just contact her through Customer Service at Cutters Creek.) Of course I had to get them. Then this idea popped into my head and this is what I came up with.

My card is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" white card stock card base. I love using the Bazzill smooth white card stock for my card bases. It is a good sturdy paper and since it is smooth everything you layer on top lies nice and flat.

I added a black mat cut to 4" X 5 1/4" and then the patterned paper mat cut to 3 3/4" X 5".  I added some Washi Tape from American Crafts at the bottom of my patterned paper for some color. For my heart balloons I cut both sizes of the small dies out of some patterned paper. For my sentiment I stamped that in some Memento Tuxedo Black ink on some red card stock. I used my eBosser to cut all the hearts out. Got to love the eBosser! I did use my magnetic shim which works great to help keep your dies in place. In case you are wondering, the machines shipping now come with the magnetic shim. For those of us that got in on the first shipment they did not but Cutters Creek sells them.

I then attached some of the Doodlebug twine to each of my hearts and adhered them to my card with some foam tape. The red heart and pink heart are both on two thicknesses of foam tape and the rest is on one thickness. Finally, I doubled some of the pink and white striped twine and tied all the strings together in a bow. I added a couple of pink heart stick pens that are from My Minds Eye and some white stitching with my gel pen.

I had a lot of fun making this one and with the eBosser doing all the work it went together really quick.

Flower Tutorial by Tee

I was playing with my Flower Shoppe cricut cartridge again today and decided to share with you step by step directions I created the flower for this thank you card

I cut three set of flowers from Flower Shoppe at 3”, 2 ½ and 2”

Take scissors and cut notches into each pedal as seen here 

Ink each pedal 

Take a stylus and rub it over the entire flower pedal by moving the stylist in a circular motion 

Pinch the middle of each pedal as seen here 

Curl the edges of each side of the pedal back as seen here then apply glue to each tab and glue 

Play with each pedal until it has the look you want. Place glue in the center of each flower and stack alternating the pedals as you go. Drop in some pearls or any other embellishment. Add stickles around the edges of each pedal.

I hope you found this easy to follow and make your own soon.

Never-ending Card Fun with Mandie

Hey everyone, it's Mandie from Mandie's Scrapping and I recently learned how to make Never-ending Cards and was talking about how much fun they are with a friend and she asked me to create one for her. She was going to surprise her daughter with a Disney Vacation for her birthday and wanted to let the card do the talking so this is what I came up with!

This is the first view of the card, I used my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to stamp my Snow White (her favorite princess) and then colored her in with my Copic Markers. The "5" is cut with my Cricut and I stamped the background on the white pieces with a variety of clear stamps. Then I used my Stardust Gelly Roll Pure Glitter Pen to add the glittery swirls to the 5. To get to the 2nd "page" of  the card you simply open it from the center to reveal...

...Page 2! The princess here are cut from a sheet of patterned paper and I used some vellum stickers as an accent. I used my Stardust Gelly Roll Pure Glitter Pen to add glitter to my stickers and to my stamped phrase that reads "Where does a Princess say 'Dreams really do come true'?" To reveal the answer you fold back from the center again and the answer is....

...Disney World (of course)!If you'll notice that one page 3 your side images stay the same. It's one thing you will want to remember if you decide to try one of these yourself! I used more stamps and of course that amazing Stardust Gelly Roll Pure Glitter Pen for more - GLITTER - really, you can't have too much glitter, ever! From here you simply open the card out from the center again to reveal...

...the final page! I spent a long time coloring in these beautiful princesses. I used my Copic Cardstock and Copic Markers and practiced the techniques I recently learned. The images are all stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, of course. I left the 2 center squares blank so that my friend could write her own personal message to her little girl because I'm sure this card will be a treasured possession for a long time!

I even created a custom envelope with my Scor Pal, with a Velcro closure (I cut it into the shape of a heart) for the little girl to be able to keep her card in! I stamped all of my images in pink on pink cardstock and again used my Stardust Gelly Roll Pure Glitter Pen to add a touch more glitter. As I side note, you will want to make sure you are using a STRONG adhesive for this project. I would recommend either your Pink ATG or my favorite - Scor Tape! I hope you will give making a fun, interactive card a try soon!

My Minds Eye Birthday Card by Chris

Another easy peasy 4.25 x 5.5 card. Make your card base and cut 5 strips of MME paper. I used 4 pieces from the Sunshine pack and one from the Blush pack. Each strip is about 1 1/8 inches wide with a bit of fudging to cover the front. Then I took another piece from the Sunshine pack and traced the outside of my Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Tags Two. This created a shadow effect for my label, which I cut from a piece of tan cardstock and stippled with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. Rich Cocoa Memento Ink was used to stamp the sentiment and a pearl flourish from my stash finished the card.

St. Patrick’s Day Card by Deanna M

I have a fun little St. Paddy’s Day card for you today. My card base is  4 1/4” X 5 1/2” white card stock. I use the Bazzill Simply Smooth card stock for my card bases. I like it because it cuts well  and also works in my Imagine and Expression and because there is no texture, it embosses nicely and stamping on it is easy.
Anyway, back to my card. I know I didn’t use all traditional St. Patrick’s Day green for my card but I was wanting to challenge myself a bit so I added a blue mat cut to 4” X 5 1/4” from my scrap bin. Then I added the zigzag patterned paper from the new My Minds Eye On the Bright Side One 6” X 6” paper pad. The colors in it reminded me of a rainbow. I cut that at  3 3/4” X 5. I don’t know about you but I am loving the new My Minds Eye paper pads that Cutters Creek is carrying. If you haven’t checked them out yet, you should.
I added a narrow strip of green cardstock also from my scrap bin. I cut this at 3 3/4” X 1  1/4”. I ran a piece of black and white gingham ribbon to cover the edge of the green paper. I stamped my sentiment and the shamrocks with Cottage Ivy Memento Ink. I cut my Pot of Gold from the Simply Charmed cartridge at 3”. I did not cut the last layer of the pot as I did not want the face.
I covered the black pot with some Oil Slick Glimmer Glaze. If you are not familiar with Glimmer Glaze it is a member of the Tattered Angels products and compliments your Glimmer Mist. Cutters Creek can special order the Glimmer Glaze for  you. It comes a in a large selection of colors and is really fun to use to dress up a project.
Sorry for the detour,  I added some gold stickles to the sparkle up gold in the pot. Finally I cut a shamrock from the Paper Dolls Dress Up cartridge at 1 1/4” and adhered to the front of the pot and outlined it with some Firefly Stickles. I adhered the pot to the card with some of the clear gel foam pads.
Be sure and check out all the new goodies headed to Cutters Creek soon.
