Glitz New Release

I am sharing more creations designed with the new release.....luv!  The Glitz elements make it so easy to create a sweet card in minutes; ok, maybe not minutes for me but quickly.

I have used the Love You Madly Journaling Stickers for this one, the "I Love You" makes a fabulous focal point.  I added a doily, lace trim, seam binding and of course a Giant Love You Madly Rhinestone.  The background is a collection of a piece of the background layer and the designer paper from the Love You Madly collection.

Supplies Used:

Glitz Designer Paper: Love You Madly

Glitz Journaling Stickers: Love You Madly

Glitz What Nots: Love You Madly

Glitz Giant Rhinestones: Love You Madly

---

Alright, here is the flowered whale again; my favorite thing of this entire release...I so luv it!  The sentiment has to be one of the {{{sweetest}}} I have ever seen!  It is one of the Uncharted Water Title Stickers.

The graph love note panel is actually a piece of the designer paper that have all sorts of mini style cards you can cut individually to use on cards or scrapbook pages.  I then used the Navy Teeny Alpha to created the From: Me To: {U}.  The sea anchor at the bottom was created by using the Tiny Roller Doodle, a super easy and simple way to add a little summin summin to your creation! I added a piece of lace trim, seam binding and a Giant Rhinestone to complete my sweet flowered whale card.

Have a wonderful day, be sure to sprinkle it with a little Glitz!

Supplies Used:

Glitz Designer Paper: Uncharted Waters and Love You Madly

Glitz Title Stickers: Uncharted Waters

Mojo Monday/MOJO278-Thank You

Hello peeps, I am sharing my take on this past Mojo Monday's card, I went with a sweet circle card. I have also played along with The Shabby Tea Room inspiration photo and the use of buttons.  I have used the sweet True Love Designer paper from Basicgrey, this is a gorgeous paper pack!  I have used the Blossom Nesties for my shape and left out some of the layers because this card size is very small.

Have you heard of Cards For A Cause?  Every month we spotlight a new cause, I would luv for you to join the fun of an optional challenge and discover some great places to send those extra cards you have lying around.  You can read more about Cards For A Cause here!
