Glitter Chevron card / GREAT NEWS!!!!

Hello blogcreatures,

I have A M A Z I N G NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

 I am happy to announce, that I am now part of the SIZZIX blog Design Team!

You can find awsome talented crafters and amazing creations! Have a look!

 Today is my very first time sharing a creation using Sizzix dies! Seriously awsome designs! The great thing about these dies, is that you can use: paper, chipboard, fabric, felt, to create beautiful projects. For today I made a card using G L I T T E R! A lot of it!

I don't really use so much glitter in my creations, but this time I put enough!!!!  Or maybe not.
For this card I used two different dies from Sizzix.

• Sizzix on the edge die- Butterflight
• Sizzix frameworks die- Chevron
• Sizzix Big Shot Machine

Below you can find a quick tutorial on how to make this card. This is the perfect time to use glitter. 

PS: Once you are done making the glitter background, use hair spray to keep everything in place. Check out Sizzix for more details. If you have any question, please let me know in the comments below. Have a great day!

Mini Top Hat

Hello blogcreatures,

If I could choose an era, I'd go back in the 1800s. I really like watching  movies such as: Oliver Twist, Marie Antoinette,Nanny Mc Phee - which is my favorite etc. Today is my turn to share a creation for I Am Roses. The IAR paper flowers are so beautiful and I had to make a mini top hat.

For the hat base, I used heavy chipboard, cardstock and pattern paper. If you read my blog, then you should know that I don't really work with templates. So I'm sorry for not having a full tutorial on how to make the base of the hat. However, I have a quick tutorial for you on how to decorate a mini hat.

 

All flowers used in this creation : S10, R21, T30, ST1,T25 and R40 are from I Am Roses. Feel free to watch the video tutorial over at IAR YT channel or my channel. Also, stay updated with my creations on my Facebook page.
