A Rock'n Birthday Card

Hello there friends! 

I wanted to share a fun way to use Therm-O-Web's iCraft Easy Cut Adhesive™ sheets.

Last month for my Birthday I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim and visited the Elizabeth crafts booth. I loved the stickers and her microfine glitter so I picked up some to create with.

  

 I really enjoy creating cards with the peel off stickers. When you sprinkle the Silk Microfine Glitter onto a sheet of Easy-Cut Adhesive it creates a full sheet of glittery background that you can then layer the peel off sticker on and color with Markers. The result is really stunning. 

I did get a little glitter residue on my Copic markers but nothing that wasn't easy to get off.

     

Once I applied the sticker, I cut around the outside of the oval frame and saved the left over glittered sheet for another project.  Then I used the Sticky Strip runner to adhere the cardstock to my card base.

 

Then I used Therm-O-Web 3D Foam Squares to adhere the image to the middle of my card.

I finished the card with some fussy cut flowers from Heartfelt Creations. I adhered the bling to the center of the stamped flowers using medium Zots. Finally I adhered them to the card using the 3D Foam squares.

Here's a full image of the finished card.

I hope I have inspired you to give our iCraft Easy Cut Adhesive™ sheets a try!

Have a creative day.

Light it Up Blue for Autism Awareness

Hello and welcome to the Light It Up Blue For Autism Awareness Blog Hop! 

Today I am participating to help spread awareness for friends and family members who have

children and family members with Autism. 

Unfortunately we live in a world where people judge what they do not

 know or understand rather than seek information. It's my hope that today's hop will help

 spread awareness and inspire people to become educated on what Autism is and show 

compassion towards those who are affected.

 I came across this amazing 

video made by a young woman with Autism and cannot speak. 

It's called Carly's Cafe

It closes with Carly's message: "Everyone has an inner voice. I found a way to let mine out.

We have so many fantastic sponsors that have shown their support for Autism Awareness. 

You can see the complete list here:

 http://lk2thestarz.blogspot.com/…/the-light-it-up-blue-for-…. 

If you would like a chance to win a prize from one of these fabulous companies leave a 

comment on this blog and any of the other blogs participating in today's hop! 

Winners will be chosen at random and will be announced on Monday April 6. 

Now here is the card I created for today's hop!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Anna Griffin Embossing folders

Hello friends. Today I am sharing a few cards I created for the October HSN show using Anna Griffin's Embossing folders.

For both these cards I used the sanding technique on Anna's Perfect Palette white core cardstock.

I just the effect it leaves on the cards. Anna's designs are so beautiful and easily transform an ordinary piece of cardstock into a work of art. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thanks a Latte

Hello friends. It's been a busy week for me but I still managed to get my card created for this week's 

My Favorite Things 

Here's this week's sketch 

Here's my coffee inspired card featuring the Perk Up set.

I must admit I'd be much happier with my card if I had the Fish Tail flag STAX! That stitching looks amazing on Veronica's card. I can't tell you how much I love creating with this cute Perk Up set!

Have a creative day!
