Sending Baskets Full Of...

All the supplies have been sent to me by Magnolia – except the tag – i have spritzed it with several Shimmerz spritz to give it shimmer and some of the white roses i have spritzed with Shimmerz new Vintage color “Rock-a-falla-blue” to match my papers. this Shimmerz has lots of silver shimmer in it. Very pretty!

Thank you for visiting the Shimmerz blog today.

Make It Campbells Instead

In my recent Magnolia kit i have received most of the goodies you can see on the card. I have stamped cute little 60's Tilda onto my favorite Neenah Classic Ultra white paper with Memento ink. The coloring was done very fast, that’s why i have added some extra interest with Shimmerz paints in Gold glimmer and Pixie Dust. I 'cleaned" my brush off around the Kraft CS so it just randomly glimmers too.

Happy Fall

Just a quick fall card for one of my friends. The brown ribbon is dressed up with Shimmerz paint in Caramel and the flowers have "Gold Glimmer paint" all over. Loooove it :-)

Thank you for visiting the Shimmerz DT blog today for your inspiration! Make sure to visit the Shimmerz Education team for more ideas how to use the wonderful paints and spritz

I have spritzed the card with the wonderful Shimmerz Babies Breath Spritz- not sure if it shows on the picture to give it that hopefully vintage look.

Under The Weather?

Today i would like to talk bit more about my card. The stamps is a Motivet Spring release but i thought he is so cute for fall too so i have ordered him the other day. I wanted to give my card that "wet" look, so i have started out with a acetate card base, than i have added to the rain drops lots of Stickles and on the ground where the water puddle is i added paper glaze. To deepen the shades of my coloring i have added to Dexters coat some Shimmerz paint in Marigold and to the frog "celery green. To make my epoxy tag, i stamped the sentiment, cut it out with Cuttlebug's "Tiny Tag" die and also added also lots of Paper Glaze to it. After it was dried i assembled the card. In the inside i have stamped "feeling under the weather"
To glue the papers on my card i use THIS glue! it is totally awesome. That stuff sticks AND you can not see the glue lines once dried on the backside of the acetate.

Stamps: Motivet "Dexter in a puddle",
Papertrey Ink "Hello", Amuse Art Stamps in the inside "under the weather"
Papers: Acetate foil and Making Memories
Embellishments: Shimmerz (celery green on froggie, Marigold on "Dexters coat" ) Prima Marketing (flowers), Stickles, paper glaze, Stampin up ribbon, Button

At the ground of this card is lots of liquid applique and in the gaps i have squeezed lots of stickles, as well as around the circle, flakes and in the circular hardware embellishment.

Think Pink

All papers are spritzed with Shimmerz fabulous product Spritz. The color i have used is called "Baby's Breath" Love it because i can use it pretty much on any project or color.

I would like to kept it short and sweet about my card. The only thing i would love to draw your attention to is that i always look for ways NOT to use Prima Flowers. If i have accomplished a cute card without using flower.. iam happy. I guess it is my personal challenge. With this one i was able to use up some scraps of the pricey Stampin up Taffeta ribbon.

Lazy Days Of Summer

Hello, here iam with my first Magnolia Design Team card using all the wonderful supplies Magnolia has sent to me. I love to use Liquid Appique to add some dimension.. and not enough i always squeeze inside the "gaps" lots of Stickles. I guess i was in a "sparkely" mood so i used some of my Shimmerz paints in Caramel for the cone and some Candle light on the blue ice cream". Since the paints are really so different from Stickles it really one does not take away from the other media and it does look really nice if used together.

Stamps: Magnolia Lazy Days of Summer Collection "Berry Tilda" "Strawberry Ice Cream" are at 7kids College FundEmbellishments and papers: all by Magnolia (the ribbon i have found at Michaels)Other: Liquid Applique, Robins Nest, Stickles and Shimmerz paints in Caramel and Candle Light

Juicy

this is for now my final gift set made with the Magnolia Pet Collection stamps. Can you believe it??? The set is inspired by some Haribo candies my friend Crissy sent my son Lucas. The bag had the same parrot on the front.. i just colored it a bit different to match my paper. The parrot is first colored with Copic markers but than i added a thin coat with Shimmerz paint "under the sea" as you can see it still lets the colors shine through but gives a nice shine and sparkle

I do agree the papers are not very tropical.. but i still like the combination. I like to leave some cards without a sentiment.. this way i can just use them when i need one for an occasion. Always nice to have something like this in the drawer.

The card is sized 5.5 x 5.5
Stamps: Magnolia Pet Collection " Parrot"
Papers: Basic Grey "Urban Prairie"
Embellishments: Hero Arts Pearl Stickers, Shimmerz "Under the Sea" paint Tools: Nestabilities Label

What's cookin?

Hello and a wonderful start in to your new week. Have you had some time to check out "Stamp With Fun's" Challenge blog? Pretty easy.. you can use pearls on your card and you know me.. loooove pearls. i can add them pretty much on every card lol.

Besides pearls i painted Tilda's apron heavily with Shimmerz Angle wings and added some paper glaze to the clock in the background.

Stamps: Alota Rubberstamps stove, Tilda with pin roll,
Papers: Basic Grey "Porcelian" and Stampin up
Embellishments: Hero Arts pearl stickers in pink and white, paper glaze, Stickles, Stampin up Ribbon
Tools: Fiskars border punch

Two Hearts

Hello, today i would love to show you card where i just used different colors of shimmerz paints to dress up one simple flower! I have used Candle Light for the base, Marigold to pick up the orange tones from my Design Paper and some "under the sea panit" (Blingz) to tie the blue in.
