What says Winter Festivities more then a Penguin in a top hat fit for Liberace? For this card I used  two stamps from Stamp Set 438 - Playful Pengie and  three glitters Sparkling Snow G1003, Fiery Fushia G1004 and Laser Blue G1074  a couple of Spellbinders Circle dies and Grommet Tag die, Grand Calibur and metallic paper and tiny rhinestones.  To view the complete instructions click here.

Using this same Stamp Set 438 - Playful Pengie  I put the Candy Cane Pengie 3551-438C on an ornament  and dressed him up with Charcoal Glitter G1081, Sparkling Snow Glitter G1003,
Twinkling Clouds Sparkle N Soft SS107 for his hat and Candy Cane Embossing Powder EP110.  The Candy Cane Embossing Powder looks exactly like its name.  The complete directions for this card can be found here.

Since we are talking  penguins and ornaments here is my grand finale...

Again I used the  Stamp Set 438 - Playful Pengie.  I used the Grand Calibur and Grand Oval die to cut out the card and a Crown turned upside down for the toppper on the ornment. I colored with copics, paper pieced the scarf and band on top hat. I made glitter paper with Denali Sky Glitter G1055 and  Super Adhesive Sheets SA602 and cut out snowflakes and topper.

Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle Autumn Inspirations Blog Hop

Here in the north the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler. Autumn is less then a month away, please join us with a stroll down the lane to enjoy the wonderful colors and celebrations that Autumn brings.  If you strolled here by the way of the beautifully creative soulful  Barbara Bruder, then you're in the right spot. If you'd like to start from the beginning  and become eligible for the Grand Prize and five other mystery prizes, then click here to go to Sparkle N Sprinkle.

The first card I have created  happens after the first frost, when the roses wilt slightly and turn a deeper shade.  To make the Rose and Rose Buds I used Spellbinders Die  Rose Creations S5-050 and Foliage S4-328.The lable is Fancy Tags One S4-235 and Petie Ovals S4-140. The back ground  was cut from a Lace Die. The centers of the Roses are accented with  Autumn Fire Glitter Tinsel , the lace is accented with  Flaming Orange Glitter, Meadow Spark Glitter and Bridal Glitter. The sentiment is embossed with Bullfrog Embossing Powder. The complete recipe for this card can be found here.

The next card I created is for Halloween even though the days and nights might  be getting cooler Nikki is still HOT!  This is just a fun card. I picked the Bubbling Caldron , Nikki Witch Diva and the sentiment I'm Still Hot!, colored with Copics added a few die cut flames and  glitters to highlight, embossed the sentiment with Jazzy Orange Embossing Powder EP272. The complete recipe for this card can be found here.

My last card is a reminder to be thankful and all pumpkins are not Orange.

To create this card I used Spellbinders Pumpkin and  Maple Leaf Dies.  Each Pumpkin has a different treatment. The largest has subtle veining made with Memento New Sprout Ink 99618 and sentiment  "You're always in my thoughts" from the new stamp set Thoughtful Frames 436.  The medium Pumpkin's sentiment Happy Thanksgiving is embossed with Harvest Nights Embossing Powder. The small Pumpkin is completely covered with Harvest Nights Embossing Powder. For the right amount of bling I added a little  Autumn Medley Glitter. The complete recipe for this card can be found here in the card gallery at Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Sparkling Wintry Sensations

Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle "Sparkling Wintry Sensations" blog hop!  If you hopped here by way of the very talented Karin, then you're in the right spot.  If you'd like to start from the beginning and become eligible for SIX great prizes, then click here. 
I have a few cards for your viewing enjoyment so grab that cup of peppermint cocoa and  enjoy the show.

Here is a beautiful Menorah with  the candles lit with Raspberry Soda and Lemonade Glitter. The Menorah is embossed with Black Detail  Embossing Powder and backed with  rich  silver mirror card stock. Since I used mirror card stock it is hard to photograph but in person it is rich and elegant.  To create this card  I used the Swirl Menorah and Happy Chanukah  from the Jewish Stamp Set #388.  I  used 8 different colors of Semi-Transparent Glitter glitter for the 8 day festival of light. Detailed instructions for this card are here.

My next card  I continued with the Chanukah Theme and  made a card with the  dreidel , a four-sided spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each side. It is used during Chanukah to play a popular children's game that involves spinning the dreidel and betting on which Hebrew letter will be showing when the dreidel stops spinning. The Dreidel, Star of David and Sentiment can be found on the Jewish Stamp Set #388. I kept this card simple using  mostly the colors of the Israeli Flag, Blue for the water and White for the sky with Silver  and Gold Detail Embossing Powder and Golden Sparkle Embossing Powder.  I used an embossing folder for the back ground and  Spellbinders Octagons along with Ribbon Tag Trio. Detailed instructions for this card are here.

If you have visited my blog in previous blog hops you know I like a little humor.  Oy Vey , woe is me. I thought  I was headed to the South Pole where the penguins are instead  I  hit shore at North Beach ??? For this creation I used the Knit Hat Pengie  and the Sun and Palm Tree from Stamp Set 158 Tropical  with a little bit of  Hit The Beach Embossing Powder and Poolside Embossing Powder and finish it off with Sparkle Embossing Powder. Detailed instructions for this card are here.

You have to love those frogs, Moonlight Serenade here and he is singing.   He is so into it that his lily pad has ice and snow on it. He borrowed his  Santa hat from Santa Chimney. He is framed with Spellbinders Labels 13 and the sentiment is computer generated then cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio. Instructions on how to put this card together are here.
It is time now to refill your cocoa mug and .........
Perhaps I am one of "The Five" with a secondary prize, so don't forget to leave a comment to become eligible for the Grand Prize and one of the 5 secondary prizes, then hop over to merry Marie .

Happy 4th of July may we all Sparkle N Sprinkle!

 Hooray for the Red, White and Blue!  This is my creation for the Sparkle N Sprinkle Design Team Glitter Challenge. I  really love the energy this card gives me.  It makes me want to sing. This card was so fast and easy to make. You can find the fabulous detailed instructions here.  I used Sparkling Snow Glitter for the White, Fire Engine Red Glitter for the Red, Liberty Glitter for the Blue and AztecGold Glitter around the Star. The sentiment is from the stamp set Patriotic Icons.  I used a punch for the small  Stars and a  can't live without  Spellbinders Die  Stars S4-092.  Check out the Gold Detail Embossing Powder it is so fine line. Fellow Stampers I salute you.

I was minding my P's and Q's...

This is my version  of a Clean and Simple card.  I created it for the Sparkle N Sprinkle Design Team challenge.   It would be worth your while to peruse each designer's cards for great ideas and inspiration, you can find them here.

This CAS card is made with  paper , glitter and glue.  Parisian Mist Glitter,  Chocolate  and Pear Pizzaz Paper,  quickly  paint the Brushable Glue in the de - bossed or indented places  cover with glitter.  Quite nice wouldn't you say.
