Thanksgiving Bling...Winter Post Glitter Edge Tag

Happy Thanksgiving. I am SO thankful all my WONDERFUL stamping friends and customers. Thank you. Today starts a special sale with Stampin' Up! Up-to 50% Off Special Bundles...visit my website if you need some sale "stampin' bling". http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/dianaball/

This card was inspired by my friend and fellow stamper Paula Cannon. Paula loves to glitter up the edges recently. The technique is easy and for all you "Glitter-Girls" out there you will love the look. The only thing you need is glitter, glue and patience. Edge up everything with sponging, then glue, dip it in glitter and wait...and wait. Waiting over-night is best. Thanks Paula for the inspiration. 

Here are some close-up views of the glitter, and my stamping off technique of the reindeer under the words. (Same thing is done to the snow flakes in the center of the card, in Red and Green.) The colors of paper and ink are Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss. The glitter is Dazzling Diamonds. The Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive works great for the edge gluing. The center is made using the Tag Punch.

Add some extra bling with a clear brad from the Pretties Kit and my new favorite ribbon Satin Double-sided Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla, plus Whisper White Taffeta. Stuffing snips of ribbon bits into the back-side of your brads is a great way to stretch your ribbon supply and attach it in style.

If you are traveling today, be safe. Thank you for stopping by Diana.

Thanks for the shout out! Beautiful card. I use the two-way glue pen to edge the card stock, and that will dry faster, too. However, the Tombow is thicker glue which will hold MORE glitter and is no doubt why you chose it!!
