Glitter Queens Blog Hop Day 3

Welcome to the last day of the Glitter Queens Blog Hop! We’re so glad that you are joining us today!  If you happened to visit my blog yesterday,  you might have been unable to access it.  I apologize for that.  I had a few problems with my server but all is well now!

On to my project – a paper covered notepad.  I found these 3 x 5 notepads on Amazon and thought they would be so cute covered with Stampin’ Up! cardstock and DSP!  Who wouldn’t enjoy receiving one of these??

The cover of the notepad is a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock that extends up and over the notepad to about 1-1/2″ on the back.  My sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration stamp set, You Brighten My Day.  Did you know that with a $50 purchase (before shipping/tax), you can receive this set absolutely FREE? Sale-a-bration is still in full swing and with every $50 purchase, you can pick a free product.  Place a $100 order and you choose 2 products.  Click HERE to see the Sale-a-bration catalog.

I used the Note Tag punch for the sentiment and the Glimmer paper.  I finished it up with flowers using  the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and a pearl in the center of each one.

Here’s one more!  So quick and easy!  The paper is so beautiful all by itself that you don’t need to add much by way of embellishments!  All of the products I used for both notepads can be found at the end of the post.

Glitter Queens Blog Hop Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of the Glitter Queens Blog Hop!  Thanks for joining us today! Either you’ve come from Sue Novick’s blog or this is your first stop. Be sure to continue through by clicking the button at the end of the post.  Our hop with continue until Wednesday so please be sure to come back each day!

Have you ever wished for an embossing folder that just doesn’t exist?  You can create the look of  an embossed background with the Faux Embossing Technique!

To make my card I used our Transfer Adhesive Sheets which have a protective coating over very sticky, strong adhesive.  Before running it through the Big Shot, I peeled the paper off of the Transfer Sheet and placed the sticky transfer sheet onto my Whisper White cardstock. You’ll run it through the Big Shot using this “sandwich”:

1.  Magnetic Platform

2.  Cutting Plate

3.  Adhesive Sheet/Whisper White cardstock with cardstock facing up

4.  A piece of waxed paper (this helps to remove the Thinlet)

5.  “Hello” Thinlit

6.  Cutting Plate

The word Hello easily peels off of the transfer sheet with a nice layer of adhesive on the back.  Another option would be to cut out the word using your Whisper White cardstock and then adding your own adhesive such as Tombow or the 2-way Glue pen.  For me, the adhesive sheet made it so easy to place the words down on my paper!

I started in the middle of my cardstock with the first hello.  I cut off the pieces that hung over the paper and was able to place some of the scraps onto my finished piece so don’t throw away those pieces until you are completely finished!  When you’re done, it looks as though you used an embossing folder!

I punched a few flowers using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, sponged Coastal Cabana ink around the edges, added a candy dot and adhered them around my words!

Here’s one more!
