Shimmer, Glimmer, Sparkle and Shine Blog Hop

Glitter Strips, Friendship, Easel Card, Technique Junkie Newsletter

Hello everyone.  Welcome to the Technique Junkie Newsletter’s Shimmer, Glimmer, Sparkle and Shine blog hop, to celebrate the production of our new CD.  Please join us in our celebration by visiting the Design Team blogs showcasing some of our new and wonderful techniques.

To start the show, you can see Judy Jackson’s fantastic work at the Technique Junkie Newsletter’s Design Junkie blog.  As always, Judy starts things off with a bang!

How would you like a chance at winning the Shimmer, Glimmer, Sparkle and Shine CD?  All you have to do is leave a comment on every blog.  Next week Pat will announce the winner.

I fell in love with the Glitter Strips technique so I made two examples for you.  Can you tell I went outside the box with my black & white card?  I wanted to venture out of my colourful work and try something new and classic. It makes for a nice masculine card, eh?

Oooh gorgeous, especially your black and white.
Now that my craft cave is “almost” tidy I think the black and white would be a great card for some of the scraps I had on the P.O.T.D. (pile on the desk).

Maryann said:

Both cards are just awesome for different occasions and people. I think the first is more girly while the second is more for males maybe, but that´s ofcause just my opinion LOL, but they´re both sooo cool, but you ofcause also know, I can´t make anything without sparkle, glitter or bling of some kind, so this is just sooo me ha ha ha ha. I love these. Well done to a wonderful job Beth. Hope you´ve finished your move by now and begins to get well settled in now?
Have a wonderful week-end and lots of fun.

Hi Beth,
Somehow I ended up at your blog today and love it! Just became a subscriber. My blog started out with just cards as my main craft but has evolved and is quite eclectic now. Your cards inspire me to get back to my stamps! Hope you’ll pay me a visit. I have lots of Stampin’ Up stamps plus more of everything.

Hey Beth! Both are beautiful examples! You should try going out of your comfort zone more often if it causes you to produce such beautiful work. Love that black and white with the copper sparkle. Nicely done! Hugs, Curt
