Sweet and Sparkly Deer

Hello! Around Thanksgiving, I took advantage of the awesome sale that Nicole over at Sweet Stamp Shop did and got a couple of the then newer sets that I had been drooling over! The other day I had the opportunity to finally play with them (YAY!!!) - and made this using the Monogram It set to link up with the Simon Says Stamp - Bling It On Challenge:

You really can't see it in this picture, but I stamped the deer with Tsukineko Golden Glitz Delicata Ink - and it is TOTALLY my new favorite gold ink! LOVE! Totally shimmery and glitzy and pretty! I stamped the bow over the top with MFT ink, and the sentiment on the bottom with Hero Arts Shadow ink, then cut it out with a Spellbinder's Nestabilities Die.

I used Basic Grey Persimmon pattern papers, and cut a shadow for behind the front panel and wrapped some jute twine around it before attaching each layer with foam adhesive.

For the outer edges of the card, I rounded the corners, smeared (technical term here!) some Glossy Accents on, and sprinkled on some Gold Crushed Glass Glitter - also love the texture and glitter this gives! Finished off with a few Avery Elle sequins tucked here and there.

More Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peaks!

Good morning! I have a couple more cards I made with the NEW sets of Scrappy Moms stamps! Remember - they are offering {FREE shipping} through October 16th - so it's a great time to pick up any new sets you might have been eyeing for a while!!!

Here is my first card:

I used the new set A Holiday to Remember.

The house was cut from Joys of the Season. I added some gray Bakers Twine for smoke from the chimney, lots of stitching and doodling with my white gel pen, and pop-dotted it from the background.

The sentiment tag is cut from Sophisticated, and I found the little hearts on Birthday Cakes cartridge - they are also pop-dotted from the background! Finished off with some more faux stitching around the edges of everything else. 

My second card is so simple - but I love how it came out! I just used my Martha Stewart Score Board to add an embossed double square, then took some pink ribbon, twisted it, and glued it down with Zip Dry glue where I wanted it to stick.

Finished off with the sentiment from this set - Believe in Miracles! Remember - $2 of from the sale of each of this set goes toward research and support for families and victims of cancer. I am also linking this card up to the Link up for Pink linking party over at Gaby Creates! And...adding it to the Hand Stamped Sentiments Think Pink Challenge! 

That's it for today! I will have some more sneaks up for you tomorrow!!! Thanks for stopping by!
