Sparkly Chevron Birthday Card

-
Top of the morning everyone.  I trust you are having a great day.  I have a super fun project that was inspired by Jennifer McGuire.  You can see her original video by clicking here.  My daughter really likes teal and brown and she also likes chevrons.  She recently celebrated her 19th birthday so I decided I would use teal along with the brand new LG bundle from 3 Girl JAM to create a sparkly fun birthday card for her.  I used silver to replace the brown.


The video will walk you through the glitter techniques as well as the card making process, so I am just going to list the supplies I used here:

Cricut Close to my Heart Art Philosophy cartridge and stamp set bundle
Teal and Grey cardstock from my stash
Paper Trey Ink white cardstock (card base)
Perfect medium and Pewter Perfect Pearls
Silver Glitter from EK Success
Teal glitter from a scrapbooking store (? brand)
9" Xyron
Heidi Swapp Chevron stencil
ATG and foam tape
LG Bundle from 3 Girl JAM (Click on the picture below to be taken to the store.  Be sure to use the code "CP10" to receive a discount on your entire purchase.)

If you are interested in the technique used to create the glitter background, please click on the video below.  It is a bit long, but it walks you through the entire card making process.


Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today.
