I've made two Frosty Festivity inspired Projects.....
I've made two Frosty Festivity inspired Projects.....
Firstly a Christmas Tree Card
using Basic Grey 'Jovial' paper , gems and a little sentiment stamp
(sorry about the lighting - was taken after dark)
You can find the template here - its fairly self explanatory!
I don't make many cards but I super loved making this! Total fun!
-----------------------------------------
Secondly, I did get inspired by Jennifer Grace's earrings...
and had an idea in my head I wanted to play with.....
and had an idea in my head I wanted to play with.....
I love having a go at necklaces (the ones that use trays as bases) and recently bought some earrings also with 'trays' as a base.
And I hoped this might work out... an experiment really.. AND it did!
There's nothing like a bit of glitter and put my mind to working out a way to have festive solid colour of glitter in earrings and it turned out a treat ...
Pick some glitter colour... place down some earring trays (need to be flat and level)....and Dimensional Magic!
Put a thin layer of Dimensional Magic on the base and sprinkle the glitter.
I pressed it down lightly with my finger to make sure most of the glitter was somewhat 'stuck'
I pressed it down lightly with my finger to make sure most of the glitter was somewhat 'stuck'
and not really that messy... no more than embossing really... scoop it back up in the underneath paper and tip back into bottle.
Then, on goes the Dimensional Magic on top... it kind of 'balls' first and gets 'muddy' with glitter...
but need to work quickly
and soon as possible, spread it out. It does look 'cloudy' when wet but it domes really well...
(I love the stuff!)
Then Paige spotted what I was doing.. and asked if I could make some other colours...
soooooooooooooooo, I did! Its a bit addictive!
Then she spied all the colours of glitter I had! And her mind was pinging!
Whatever colour we wear on Christmas Day.. we will have matching earrings!
Paige loved the red ones!! (and yes, they are that vibrant!)
Pretty clever huh!
I couldn't believe how easy it turned out to be....
Literally takes five-ten minutes work for a pair! And set out to dry...
We'll be sparkly this Christmas!
I hope you enjoyed my part of the hop....
NEXT it's time for you to visit the talented Sheena!
I may even make a pair of these for some lucky follower (old or new) who comments
your choice of colour (so long as I have it :) )
Hop, hop, hop.............

You have such an eye for stunning baubles.
Quite beautiful - the photo of Paige modeling them is a wonderful advert!
I think the red are quite gorgeous, if a pair does happen to slip into the post, wink-wink
What a pretty and clever idea!
These earrings are so beautiful, you know I love glitter! I am going to have to get some of these earring 'trays'. And I'd make gold first. They turquoise. Then maybe every other colour of glitter that I own! Thank you so much for taking part in my blog hop, it was lovely to have your blog as a part of the event. x
