How amazing is the sparkly daffodil crafted from the Gilded and Forest Canopy Glitter Cardstock Sets?! Gorgeous!

Love it!

Everything's always better in glitter!!!

And with this in mind, here's what I have created with the awesome new glitter cardstock sets...

"Kisses" - 12x12inch scrapbook layout

Swoon! Better in glitter, indeed!

This is soooooo pretty!

Altenew Supplies Featured: Pink Brilliance Glitter Cardstock Set, Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock Set, Decorative Swirls Die Set, Fancy Kisses Die, & the Wildflower Papercrafting Collection.

Let's take a closer look...

Nawww! Happiness is here!

So many beautiful details!

How stunning is that Pink Brilliance Glitter Cardstock kisses title?!

It's die cut from the awesome Fancy Kisses Die, and really pops! Love it!

You'll spy that I die cut two of the swirls from the Decorative Swirls Die Set in the elegant Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock and combined them to form a heart shaped frame around my treasured photograph. The Dazzling Diamond heart frame looks amazing, and even better, it draws you into my sweet photograph instead of distracting from it! Sparkles are always for the win!

I couldn't resist die cutting the fabulous foliage pieces from the Decorative Swirls Die Set as well! I used a mix of all the tones featured in the Pink Brilliance Glitter Cardstock Set and honestly, I couldn't love the result more! SO stunning!!!

Really beautiful!

And the best part?

The Glitter Cardstock Sets have been expertly designed to glide through your die cutting machines and cut like butter! Such a dream to craft with!

I hope my layout really inspired you!

Oh, and here's a few more of my recent projects featuring the Glitter Cardstock Sets, because you can never have too much glitter, right?!

The Pink Brilliance Glitter Cardstock Set is clearly a fave of mine!

How fabulous does it look teamed up with the Bold Heels Stamp & Die Set?

Pretty in Pink Brilliance Glitter Cardstock again!

But I also created this same card in blue...

I think you'll agree that the Ocean Reflection Glitter Cardstock is just stunning!!!

And I couldn't forget to feature the brilliant Forest Canopy Glitter Cardstock Set either - check out that sparkling title below...

WOW!

I think it's safe to say that the Glitter Cardstock Sets are my new fave Altenew products!

WOW! Embossing Powder Creative Guest - Fabulous layout!

Hi Creatives!

Welcome back for my second official post as a Creative Guest Designer for

WOW! Embossing Powder Blog

WOW Embossing Powder!

Yippeeee & lucky, lucky me!

If you missed my previous Creative Guest post earlier this month, you can check it out on their blog HERE.

For today's project I am focusing on incorporating more Glitter Embossing and Sparkles into your scrapbook layouts.

Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout.....

"Fabulous"

Oh how super cute & playful is this?!!

So much glittery goodness here!

You'll spy Black Twinkle, & Totally Teal Embossing Glitters, as well as those super sparkly, Celebration Sparkles!

Here's a closer look at my layout....

Aboslutely darling!

And the best part? Well, it's super fun (& really easy) to recreate!

Here's how....

Start with stamping the Pinkfresh Studio Heart & Soul Stamp set with the WOW! Embossing Pad, and then coat the images with WOW! Embossing Glitter in Black Twinkle.

Use your WOW! Embossing Heat Tool to heat and set the Glitter Embossing Powder.

Use the Heart & Soul coordinating metal die to precisely cut out the embossed image.

(You will be amazed by the Black Twinkle Embossing Powder - see the close up below!)

Black Twinkle, indeed! Just look at that glittery result! SO incredibly beautiful!

Next, stamp up the owls, birds and butterflies from the Pinkfresh Studio Playful Animal Friends 1 stamp set, with the WOW Embossing Ink Pad. Sprinkle with WOW Embossing Glitter in Totally Teal, and heat set with the WOW Embossing Heat Tool.

Be still my heart!!! Ga ga gorgeousness!

This may a new favorite color of mine - so divine!!!

Fussy cut the embossed images to create your own glitter ephemera die cuts.

Trim white cardstock to 11" x 11" and then use Pinkfresh Studio Liquid Watercolors in Sky Blue to paint a small circle in the center of the layout. Add a few gentle flicks of paint splatter around the circle too!

You can see the Sky Blue Liquid Watercolor is a beautiful match with the Totally Teal!

SO pretty!!!

Attach the white cardstock to the Joyful Day 12 inch pattern paper called, Perfect Moment. This creates a soft border trim &looks really effective. Foam mount the Heart & Soul embossed image and tuck a framed photo beneath it. Embellish around the 'circle' with the Totally Teal Playful Friends. Add a Joyful Day ephemera tag and sentiment beneath the circle, and embellish with more of the Totally Teal Friends!

For finishing touches, and that added WOW'Em factor, apply Celebration Sparkles to the layout....
