Geez it's been FOREVER since I posted a card eh?? I got TWO to post now, and hopefully I can post TWO more tomorrow too!! *wink*
I sat down yesterday and pulled out several of GinaK's images that I've had sitting here from her earlier (as in when she first started this adventure in stamp-makin'!) releases and just played around. I used her Gift Trio stamp, and the sentiment is from the Make a Wish set - I just inked up the part of the sentiment I wanted.
I used Copic markers to color in the gifts, then added some glitter with Crystal Ice Ice stickles (be warned I'm on a MAJOR glitter kick lately - I think I used it on EVERY card I made yesterday LOL!).
The Prima is from the pink Sprites pack (I love how they're embossed - SO cute) and I attached it with a Making Memories Jewel brad. The little flower brads are also Making Memories.
The patterned paper on this card and the one below are from a box I got at Costco over the weekend. It's all made by K&Co and there is some really cute patterns and some of it has glitter on it (maybe that's what inspired the sudden need to use glitter on everything??) - the paper I used on this second card is one of the glitter sheets. I can't even tell you how much the pack was as I just tossed it in the cart without even looking at the price LOL. All I saw was the colors and the glitter and that it was by K&Co and I had to have it. I'll have to take a picture of the box it came in as it's really nice too!

Can you see it?? The leaves and flowers on the patterned paper are COVERED in glitter *hugs self in glee* LOL!
I used Copics again to color in the Gift Trio, then used my Quickie Glue Pen and poured on Dazzling Diamonds (Stampin' Up!) glitter. I also went over the Happy Birthday (same sentiment used in the card above) with the glue pen and poured on the glitter.
I'm still learning with my new Janome Mini sewing machine - I still have trouble keeping the stitching STRAIGHT!! The machine doesn't have the little lines most other machines have - so it's more a matter of eyeballing it. I'm usually good at eyeballing things but I know I still need practice with this! At least I did a decent job with the scalloped scissors - THAT I just eyeballed!
This is a 5.25" square card. I finished it off with some grosgrain ribbon and 3 pink Bazzill brads.

Now I'm off to go watch Survivor! Honestly I'm not the biggest fan - but Tim likes it and I like to watch it with him (now when LOST starts I'll be taking the phone off the hook - I am so antsy for it to start up again!) - it's nice to spend time together after the girls are in bed!
