Bling It On, Baby!

This week Quick Quotes and Want2Scrap are partnering up to bring you some fun inspiration!  I am so excited to be sharing a sweet baby album of my grandson, Seth, with you for the "Bling It On!" event.   My album is chock-full of papers, sentiments, and chipboard from Quick Quotes Dusty Road Collection. 

This chipboard baby album is just one of the great shaped albums from Want2Scrap.

To cut the paper for each shaped page of the album, I carefully cut using a hobby knife and cutting mat.
Once the Dusty Road papers were adhered to my album, I added a bit of Coconut White Chalking Ink to the edges of each page.  It is so easy to get into those small spaces with the Chalking Inks!

Lots of Want2Scrap bling and pearls adorn my pages. I carefully snipped the Silver Rhinestone Swirls so I could add a bit of swirl with each of my flowers.

On a few of the pictures, I stamped using the Purple Passion Chalking Ink.  Love how bold this looks on the sepia pictures!

The banners were handcut out of the pretty plaid Dusty Road 400 and Lavendar Pearls from Want2Scrap were added as a finishing touch.  The sweet sentiments are from the Dusty Road Chipboard Die Cuts.  The were just perfect compliment to the photo of my daughter and her two sweet boys.

I hope you have enjoyed this sweet baby album. I had so much fun pairing Quick Quotes Dusty Road Collection with the great products from Want2Scrap!

All Glam'd Up!

Last week was my daughter' birthday.    

It is always fun to make cards for Kass because she is so appreciative of handmade cards.

The card is really all about the tag.   

I started by embossing the top half of a Basically Bare Dress Form.

The embossed dress form was then glam'd up with Tattered Angels Pixie Dust Glam. 

The dress form skirt is my favorite part of this card. 

I stamped the music background onto bright green tissue paper with Ranger Archival Ink.

I didn't want the ink to smear with the next step, so I was sure to let the ink set.

Once set, I painted Tattered Angels Glam over the stamped images to create a glassine effect.

I love how this turned out!  

Because I wanted to arrange the skirt to have dimension,

 I actually placed the two-layered skirt on the dress form while it was still wet.  

The only glue that would work for this is Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.  

Once the layers were secure I delicately pinched and popped the tissue paper

to give it shape.  Be sure to be very careful if you do this! 

I finished Glam'ing up the card by using Chandelier Glam over the die-cut 

tag(Theresa Collins, Tim Holtz), birthday banner (Elle's Studio), and flower (Bella Blvd).

While I let the Glam dry on the tag and banner, I used my heat gun on the flower.

By using the heat gun on the flower, I was able to encourage petals to curl. 

Have you used the Glam yet?  So easy to use and lots of shimmer!
