Stamping Inkspiration January Blog Hop Glimmer & Shine Sketch Challenge


Welcome to the Stamping Inkspiration January Blog Hop as we start off 2023 with a Sketch Challenge with some Glimmer and Shine. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative for the New Year. We will each be using the sketch below to create our projects as well as incorporating some glimmer and shine to add some bling. 

For my card design today, I thought I would have some fun with two of the new Sale-a-bration Rewards available to earn free with a qualifying order. The Adorable Owls stamp set (Level 1 Reward) is so much fun to create with and pairs beautifully with the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper (Level 2 Reward). I decided to create a fun birthday card using today's sketch and add some bling using Gold embossing, Gold Metallic Specialty Paper and the new Iridescent Pastel Gems in the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. This sweet card design is perfect for people of all ages and is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

This cute card design is easy to assemble and would work well for a variety of occasions. I chose the colors for my card design from the piece of designer series paper from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. I attached the piece of designer series paper to the card front and then added the strip of Gold Metallic Specialty Paper to the card front, lining it up slightly off center, using the dots in the paper design. For the focal layers, I adhered the Basic White square to the Coastal Cabana Square and added it to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, lining up the corners with the Gold paper. 
To create the owl, I heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and colored it in with Stampin' Blends Markers. I then fussy cut the owl out and adhered it to the center of the Basic White square. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image onto a scrap of Balmy Blue cardstock and die cut it out with the smallest sentiment die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I attached the sentiment die using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. Using the Clear Wink of Stella, I colored in the owl's eyes and party hat to give them a touch of shimmer and I added several of the Iridescent Pastel Gems for a little bling. I love how this cute card turned out and how the different elements add that touch of glimmer and shine to the card design.
