TSMONDAY, Thanks!

 Hello, thanks to everyone who joined in our Blog Hop last week, and took the time to leave a comment. Congratulations to all the lucky Blog Candy winners!

Well it's time for our Totally Stampalicious Monday challenge, and this weeks challenge is to make a Thank You card!

I used the new A+ Bears to make a Thank You card for a Coach! I used my sizzix flip-it die again, I love this thing, plus the center is over 3" so it fits lots of great images!

I coloured the bear with copics, and paper pieced his clipboard. I aldded some punched stars to the opposite side and to hang from the ribbon.

Please join us in our challenge, and upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog!

Olivia's Entry!

Hello, I totally forgot to share with you the card my daughter Olivia (12) made for this weeks Totally Stampalicious challenge, to add sparkle.

She made this entirely on her own using Ava Fairy! She coloured Ava with her marvy markers. The bling is from a giant sheet of sparkly gems she got in her stocking for Christmas!

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, Sparkle, Glitter, Shine!

 Hello, it's time for the Totally Stampalicious Monday challenge, and this weeks challenge is to add some, sparkle, shine, glitter, whatever you like to bling up your card or project!

For my card, I used the new Gus & Stella Anniversary, don't these two make the perfect couple!

I made this using the new Sizzix circle flip-it die. I had ordered it at my local stamp store and was so excited when I got the call Friday that it was in, so I had to use it right away. The card is 5" square, and the circle is 3", perfect for the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo line!

 I used early espresso for the card base, and the dp is from Basic Grey's Curio pad.

I stamped Stella & Gus onto vanilla neenah card stock and coloured with copics. For the sparkle, I added glitter hearts and tiny heart gems to the sentiment on the front.

Not sure if the pictures show it properly, but when you open the card, the circle flips to reveal the other side. Super easy fun fast card!

So now it's your turn. Create a card or project, make it sparkle and upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog, there's a prize this week, so make sure you enter for your chance to win!

Have a Great Day!
Laurie
