Distress Glitter Product Review

Image
By Cindy
Hey kids!  Cindy back on the SBC blog today with a product review of Tim Holtz Distress Glitter.  Don't you just love glitter????  I sure do!!  We are getting a bit messy here today--but it's fun!

TiP:  When inking the edges of a glittered item apply ink to your craft mat so you don't get glitter on  your ink pad.


Supplies:
Tim Holtz Distress Glitter ( I used spun sugar)
Tim Holtz ink applicator or sponges work, too
Tim Holtz Distress Ink  ( I used spun sugar)
Glossy Accents

Apply Distress Ink, Stain or marker to your item to be glittered.

Apply a wet glue such as Glossy Accents to the item to be glittered.  I used my fingers to get good coverage--told you we were getting messy...LOL.  Using a wet glue allows for the most sparkle power since the glitter particles wont lay completely flat.


Apply your Distress Glitter :-)  Love that sparkle!!  And you can even use your heat tool to speed the drying time with this glitter.  It won't melt like other glitters.  YAY!! 
A really cool thing about this Glitter is you can apply ink to it to create a vintage look.  In my case I just wanted some more color on my butterfly.  I applied ink to my craft mat and then used a Q-tip to color the edges of my butterfly so I wouldn't get glitter on my ink pad.


And I created a tag to use my butterfly on.  I applied Distress ink to this tag and then sprinkled a few drops of water on it and then moved it around a bit to get the drippy effect.  Then I used my heat tool to dry it.  I stamped my stamps and then applied my distress glittered butterfly :-)  I also inked my ribbon to match the colors on the tag.

Add'l supplies:
Tim Holtz Distress Ink in worn lipstick & tumbled glass
Ranger Heat tool
Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Artful Things clear stamps
MS All Occasion Cake Art Cricut cart - butterfly@1"
Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cart - tag @5"
White organza ribbon (I colored this with the Distress ink, too)

This Distress Glitter is fabulous!!  I hope I've inspired you to get out your Tim Holtz Distress products and play today!  Thanks for stopping by.  If you have any questions leave a note in the comments for us.  If you're on Facebook you can join SBC there as well because there is always something fun going on :-) 

I hope you have a blessed day!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
