Sparkle N Sprinkle A Peppermint Christmas Tag

What a wonderful day! Today's project is a holiday tag, featuring Sparkle N Sprinkle's A Peppermint Christmas digi stamp set. This stamp set is delightful and so sweet. Let's take a gander at what I created using it.

Supply List:
Sparkle N Sprinkle A Peppermint Christmas digi stamp [DIGI3148M]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Pink Lady embossing powder [EP337]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Spring Willow embossing powder [EP388]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Golden Sparkle embossing powder [EP106]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Super Thick Silver [EP467]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Margarita glitter [GM2032]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Ballerina glitter [GM2024]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Pink Fizz glitter [GM2050]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Butterscotch glitter [GM2051]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Waterfall glitter [G1071]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Brushable Glue [540]
Versamark ink [VM-001]
Stampendous Blossom Scroll stamp [6CR003]
Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen [206N]
Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive [200N]



I started out by sizing the digi image to what I wanted. I printed it out onto white cardstock, then tore the outer edges of the cardstock to give it some texture. I also swiped Versamark Ink along the outer edge of the image and sprinkled on Golden Sparkle embossing powder and heat set it. I also created a layer to go below the fairy, by covering the edges of some cardstock with Versamark Ink, and sprinkling on Spring Willow embossing powder and heat set it. I repeated the steps and added a second layer to make it more opague. I also sprinkled on some Super Thick Silver embossing powder and heat set from underneath. To create the tag, I covered my tag with white gesso, let it dry, then stamped it with Versamark Ink and the Stampendous Blossom Scroll stamp. I sprinkled on Pink Lady embossing powder and heat set it. This created a lot of texture and color onto the background. You can see how beautiful that blossom stamp is ... but it ended up getting covered up quite a bit. In this photo below, you can also see the 5 colors of glitter that I used to enhance the fairy - which were: Pink Fizz, Butterscotch, Ballerina, Margarita, and Waterfall. I love these colors!

Because this was a digi stamp, I created some "patterned paper" to die cut some roses. To do this, I took one of the images in the stamp set and blew it up to a huge size on my computer. I cropped it to select just the section I wanted, which was two shades of pink and a strip of black. I used this as my "pattern" and printed out a piece of cardstock. I die cut the roses, shaped them, and glued them together with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Then, I added them to the tag and brushed on Sparkle N Sprinkle's Brushable Glue to the edges, and then dusted on a layer of Ballerina glitter as well. This extra glitter really made these roses extra special!

Here is a close up of the fairy. I rolled on some Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen to select areas of the fairy, and added in the glitters from above (Pink Fizz, Butterscotch, Ballerina, Margarita, and Waterfall). I added highlights to her wings, her bow, her candy cane, and her tutu. I also glittered up the candy, bow, and star border.


I love this digi image. It is so sweet, so adorable, and I love pink, so it had me at hello! I  know you will love it too, and I can't wait to see what you create with it.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!

Sparkle N Sprinkle Vintage Country Home Shadowbox Card [07.30.2018]

Hello from Designer Chris! Today's card is a digital card shadow box, using one of Sparkle N Sprinkle's latest July release stamp sets! This set is the Vintage Country Home and you couldn't get any more awesome than this set! Let's check out the shadow box card I created.

Supply List:
Sparkle N Sprinkle Vintage Country Home digi stamp [DIGI911DE]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Hickory glitter [GM2044]
Sparkle N Sprinkle 24 KT Gold glitter [GM2038]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Easy Green glitter [G1077]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Waterfall glitter [G1071]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Waterscape glitter [G1108]
Sparkle N Sprinkle 1/4" Tear-ific Tape [SAT01]
Sparkle N Sprinkle 3/4" Tear-ific Tape [SAT05]
Sparkle N Sprinkle Glitter Brush [SG1400]
Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive [200N]
Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen [206N]
Nuvo Copper Penny Crystal Drops [654N]
Tonic Swirling Frame Layering Die Set [1462e]
Tonic Tangerine machine [138e]
Tonic 12" Wide Base Craft Guillotine [454a]


I started out by sizing this image from the Vintage Country Home stamp set on my computer, using Word. I used a pre-colored image to make it quick and easy! I printed it and then started die cutting and glittering! I die cut out the image using the Tonic Swirling Frame Layering Die Set and then rolled on some Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen to strategic places, and sprinkled on glitter. I used Waterfall glitter for the clouds, Waterscape glitter for the windows, Easy Green for the trees and grass, and 24 KT Gold for the door and window frames. Here is a close up of the Vintage Country Home all sparkled up!

I also glittered up the outer edge. I laid a strip of 3/4" Tear-ific Tape to the backside of the image's die cut edge. I burnished in Hickory glitter, which adhered to the Tear-ific Tape which was exposed through the negative spaces of the die cut swirl edges. Here is a close up of awesome Hickory glitter!

I printed out the sentiment, and cut each letter individually. I blended some ink to the outer edges of each word in the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the shadow box, and dropped on some Nuvo Copper Penny Crystal Drops to the sentiment words too. I also added Nuvo Copper Penny Crystal Drops on the back and middle layers of the shadow box, and "smeared" some of the drops as well with my finger tool to give the card a little more distressed look. I also finished up the shadow box. I die cut two larger swirling frame dies, and then scored the edges of the cardstock and stacked them all up to make a shadow box. It worked out great!

I really like shadow boxes, and this card came together pretty quickly and easily. I love using digital images because they can be sized and manipulated in multiple ways, and these ones from Sparkle N Sprinkle come both pre-colored and not-colored so you can do what you want with them!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!
