Tropical Shimmerz meets a Jacksonbelle Sketch!

Today is Jacksonbelle Tuesday and it is also the day that Shimmerz is releasing their new colors, Tickle Me Turquoise, Jilted Jade, Island Salsa Blingz and Caribbean Sunset Spritz! So I decided to combine the two, all 3 of the new colors of Shimmerz and the JBelle Sketch! You will also have a chance to win $25 in Shimmerz products!! More about that later... We would love for you to play along with our sketch too! If uploading to SCS, please use keyword JBE063 or you can send a link to your card to the JBelle Blog! Here is today's sketch!
For my card I used an Inkadinkado stamp, which by the way, here is more good news!! All this week at the Jacksonbelle Store, all Inkadinkado is on sale for 25% off!! Woo-Hoo! Ok, back to the card!! I colored in the image using all three of the above mentioned new Shimmerz colors, which I'm sure Lindsey will have in her STORE soon! And I also used some Angel Wings Shimmerz on the clouds and on the October Afternoon striped paper. The chipboard shell and starfish is by Melissa Frances, which I also painted with Shimmerz, as well as the rub-on.

You can win $25 in Shimmerz products!

♥Birthday Gift Set♥ {A Shimmerz and Flourishes Project!}

Today on the Shimmerz Blog, we will be showcasing some projects that the DT recently made with Flourishes stamps! Yup, Shimmerz and Flourishes did a little swap of products and we on the Shimmerz team got to play with these AWESOME stamps! I just L~O~V~E Flourishes! Their stamps have such great detail to them and they are just the cutest! So if you have time, please stop by the Shimmerz blog today and show us some support and lovin'! ;)

I decided to make a Birthday Gift Set with my All Wrapped Up stamp Set by Flourishes and of course, some beautiful Shimmerz Paints! I first stamped the presents twice with black Staz-On, colored them in with Copics, then applied some Shimmerz paints over the coordinating colors. (I used Pixie Dust, Pink Poinsettia, Hotty Pink and Wintergreen Blingz, Opal, Candle Light and Sunny Shimmerz and Cotton Candy and Baby's Breath Spritz.) I then trimmed them out with little scissors and/or a craft knife, just cutting out the bows on the second images. I then adhered the bows with some mini pop-dots.

My card base and gift card holder was ran through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. I used some sheer ribbon and some Creative Imaginations felt ribbon on everything. The gift card holder is actually a paper towel roll, which I cut into the right size, flattened it out, and hot glued the bottom to make the pocket. I then adhered the white cardstock to the front and back. It makes for a nice and sturdy holder and it's "green". Hope you enjoyed everything!

I'll be back tomorrow with another Shimmerz project, this time using the new colors which will be released tomorrow! Have a great day!!

Hugs,

New Shimmery Goodness!!
