MIM & CAS-Friday Challenges Part 2

Ok, a dual post it is to cover both the Make-It-Monday & CAS-Friday Challenge!

 

 

First, the second CAS-Friday challenge card. I went a little polka dot-happy with this card. I just didn't know what to do after I cut out the Mat Stack #4 die cut. Somehow it worked out ok. I do love my polka dots ;)

 

 And the second Make-It-Monday card. It's actually the first one. I just didn't post it first :P

  This one was more experimental than anything - again using windows and PTI stamp set packaging box plastic. Just remember that Prisma Glitter will stick to the plastic with all that static!!! I thought I'd be clever and use my heat tool to blow the excess off. Well, think again. It only warped the plastic. Now I have a wrinkly card. And I managed to miscalculate and had double sided tape stick out onto card base, so had to chop off at the sides (hence there is no blue bits to the left or right) :'(

 

 

 A close-up view of the windows. I used the In the Meadow set. I'm quite happy how the glitter and stamped glue went together. I'm just not happy with the warped card! lol.

 

 

 

Did I mention I got my Take Three die at last? I forgot to order last time and had to buy off Denise. Now I really want those sets too.

 

Anyhow, enough rambling from me! Thanks for popping around again! :)

Make It Monday #41: Christmas Ornament Card

Hello! I'm in the mood for playing along for challenges! So here's something for Papertrey Ink's latest Make It Monday!

 This week, we have to bring out Essential Glue Pad out and stamp and image with it, and finish off with something fine and... in my case, SPARKLY!

The only thing fine I have is Prisma Glitter, so I had little choice, but I did have this great idea to make a Christmas ornament/bauble. And those of you who know me, know I love to make windows too. So I grabbed out the plastic container PTI stamps come wrapped up in ;)

 

I used Fancy Flourishes to decorate the 'ornament'. I'm sure I've seen an ornament that looked just like this in real life. I just wish I had gold glitter. It would have been perfect.

This is what the card overlay was looking like halfway through. I stamped with the glue pad on the plastic and applied glitter. Now, Prisma glitter sticks to the plastic due to static, so once the glue had dried off, I had to go and run my finger across to try and remove as much excess off as possible. I also double layered up the glitter so that I didn't have glitter falling behind either.

 Hope you liked the card! I've got another MIM card and CAS-Friday cards to share later to check back again! Thank you for coming :)
