Happy New Year - Sparkle and Shine

Happy New Year!! When I first started stamping long ago two things have always impressed me the most which is embossing with powders and shaker cards.  Therefore, I decided to make another card with the Simon Says December Kit and enter this into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge. This week is "Anything Goes" and will run for 2 weeks.

I must say that I really like this color combination of blues together Sea Glass and Soft Navy card stock against the Silver Matte Metallic (Bazzill) which was included in the kit. 

For the stitched circle, I used MFT Blueprint 12 and to get the stitched look on the metallic, I used Blueprints 13. I noticed that since I changed the way I store my dies now, I use them much more and easy to select dies that I'm looking for.

Again, Happy New Year

Supplies Used: 

Stamp Set: Sparkle & Shine (Simon Says)
Card stock: Simon Says December Kit (White, Sea Glass, Navy, Silver Matte Metallic) 

Accessories: Blueprints 12, 13, 20 (MFT), Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder (Ranger), Acetate Sheet (Crafter's Companion), Sequins, Foam Mount.

MOJO Monday 376 - Sparkle & Shine

It's been a while and I have missed playing Mojo Monday so to get back into the swing with this week sketch MOJO 376 designed by Julee Tilman. Also, another card for Simon Monday Challenge with "Anything Goes".

Here is my card:

Here I used my Simon Says December card kit using the stamp set called: Sparkle and Shine and tried to focus on only using the supplies from the kit, except I did add some ribbon and sparkle enamel dot, but other than that all is from the kit including the embossing powder.

Also, the dies I used for this card were not from the kit, but instead from my large collection of dies I have. Here I used MFT Blueprints 13 to cut the Silver card stock and for the circle, I used Blueprints 12 which leaves stitches on the inside and outside of the circle.

Love this sentiment and had lots of fun embossing. The kit came with 2 embossing powders and I choose to use the Ranger liquid platinum for this card. In the end, I added some ribbon and little silver enamel dot and kept it clean and simple.

Stamp Set: Sparkle & Shine (SS)
Cardstock: Simon Says December Kit

Accessories: Blueprints 12 & 13 (MFT), Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder (Ranger), Ribbon, Enamel Dot (MME), Foam Mount.
