52CC-May Stash -Using up that Glitter

Use it up is the theme this week.  Those who know me well...knows full well how much stuff is in my craftroom that could be used up!

First thing I thought of was Jennifer Mcguire's video I watched a few weeks ago.  Use up that glitter was her theme. You can see it here on how she made her card...

It was very easy to follow and not that much of a mess.  The hardest part for me was to find a background die! Cut out the die and place it down onto a piece of cardstock that had an adhesive sheet on it.  Smash glitter into all the areas that was still open.  That was it!

 I had a piece of blue metallic cardstock left over from a project and white glitter from years ago that I used. I also found a package of Stampin Up Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets NEVER OPENED from several years ago too!  The white card base was also from my stash.  I had measured and put my fold on the wrong spot so I just stuck it in my pile to use up someday.  I made that work as my base.  It was very short on one side and I had enough of the blue metallic cardstock, so I placed a strip along the wider edge.

This card is so pretty.  Here is a close up so you can see the sparkle from all that glitter.  It looks like I used a glitter background but this way I am using up some of that glitter I have been hoarding for so long.

I had so much fun, I decided to make another one but this time for a birthday card.

I just love the look of the ink color and glitter on the background.

 

 

 

I started out with blending in the colors on the white cardstock..blue, yellow, orange and red.  Next layers are the adhesive, background die cut and then glitter.  I used the same step as the video.

It truly is pretty in person!
