Celebrate!... It's Time for a Toast.

Today I'm sharing my first weekly Crafter's Companion Inspiration Design Team project 
of the New Year.

This layered card die cut card was created with mirror card stock...
and gold foiled card stock
which means that it has lots of shimmer and shine.

I die cut the Champagne Flutes... Nesting Heart Die and The "Celebrate" die with my GEMINI die cutting machine.
I created two mat layers with Gold Luxury Matter Mirror Card Stock
and
a "Congratulations" print from the Gold Foiled paper pad.
When the mat layers were positioned,
I positioned the champagne flutes with foam dimensionals.
The vellum heart and "Celebrate" were positioned as shown.

You can see all of the details here in this close-up.
(To give a little lift and dimension to the "Celebrate" die cut....
I attached it with rolled glue dots...
*My little trick for positioning "skinny" die cuts and getting some dimension. 


The Matte Mirror Card Stock...Champagne Flute Die...
Foiled (print) A4 Card Stock and "Celebrate" Die
are all part of the Sara Signature Together Forever Collection.
The (Nesting) Heart Die is from the Love and Romance Collection.

Wishing you a wonderful and creative day!

Secret Admirer

Hello my crafty friends!

I've got a card to share with you today...
created with an image from my stack of 100 stamped and colored images.
Today's sweet card was created with a  Lala Land Luka image called Secret Admirer.

I colored the image with a combination of Spectrum Nor...Stampin Up and Copic alcohol markers...
Added some background color with Clarity stencil brushes and ink pads...
then triple matted the image with two print layers and one metallic card stock layer.
The matted image layer is positioned with fun foam for dimension.

I stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment on the inside....
and then added this sweet card to my birthday card stash!


This is the one and only LaLa land stamp that I own....
I've had it for a very long time...
and am happy that I've finally taken the time to ink it up for the first time.....stamp it out...
and create a card with it!

Now its time for you create a card with a stamp that you own...but have never used!
Have a great day my crafty an creative friends!
Michelle.
