Happy Little Stampers - December ATC Challenge - Bling

Hello, my friends!

It's new Challenge time at Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge.

The December Challenge is:

This will be my last DT post for HLS!

I have truly enjoyed my term on the team!

It won't be my last ATC though,

as I've really gotten addicted to making them!

Here's my ATC:

I don't think I could get much "bling-ier" than this! lol

I simply adhered my decorative paper to the ATC base,

and inked around the edges with gold ink.

Then I added the fun ornament sticker,

along with the two little flower stickers.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment in place.

It makes a very festive looking ATC!

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Authentique - Nostalgia;

Bling: Gem Art Sticker - Holiday Trendz;

Ink: Stampin' Up - Real Red, Martha Stewart - Gold;

Stamp: Inkadinkado - Peppermint Twist.

Fun With Foil! - Snowflake ATC

Hello, my friends!

Today I'm happy to be sharing another post for ScraPerfect! 
I'm combining this post with my Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge post, 
since the November Challenge begins in just a few hours.

The November ATC Challenge is: DIE CUTS.
For some reason I couldn't grab the challenge photo.

Here is my ATC:

It just happened to be snowing outside, 
as I was working on this project.

I cut the white ATC base using the Sizzix ATC die.

I then cut a second one from the designer paper. 

Then I chose two of the beautiful ScraPerfect Transfer Foils,

one in blue, and one in an iridescent color.

I also chose some pretty snowflake dies.

I then cut two pieces of white cardstock.

Using a makeup sponge, 

I applied a coat of Best Glue Ever to the white cardstock.

I also sponged around the edge of my assembled ATC.

Once the Best Glue Ever was clear and tacky,

I laid the foil sheet over it and burnished it with my fingers.

I then peeled the foil sheet off,

and was left with this fabulous foil piece. 

When you look at the blue piece, 

you can see that the sponge swipes are all picked up by the foil.

Since I'll be using small dies, I'm not concerned.

Those marks won't show.

I then laid the snowflake dies onto each piece,

and ran them through my Big Shot. 

Then it was just a matter of adhering them in place on my ATC base.

They're all so beautiful and sparkly!

This ATC was lots of fun to make!

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Maja Design - Home for the Holidays,

White Cardstock;

Dies: Sizzix - ATC Die, Echo Park - Snowflakes #1;

ScraPerfect Products Used:

ScraPerfect Transfer Foils

Best Glue Ever
