I spent the day shopping with two of my three daughters, Jessica & Alisa. Tomorrow is Jessica's birthday, but she will be shooting a wedding so I won't get to see her. I intended to take my camera with me today to at least get a picture of us together, but rats, I ran out of the house this morning without it! Hopefully when we have our family get-to-gether on Sunday for her birthday I will get a few pics to share with you then!

I've been seeing some really gorgeous cards made with the Stampin' Glitter in the Holiday Catalog, so I decided to have a go at creating with it myself! This is tonight's creation:

I started by adhering a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet from the Annual Catalog to Very Vanilla cardstock. I then punched with the Extra-Large Oval punch three times. After removing the remaining protective cover to expose the adhesive, I then laid the ovals in a coffee filter and sprinkled them heavily with the Orange Stampin' Glitter. I pressed the glitter firmly into the adhesive with my fingers before tapping off the excess. I removed the glitter that wanted to cling to the backside of the ovals so I could assemble my pumpkin with Stampin' Dimensionals. I then adhered my pumpkin to the Early Espresso Core'dinations layer that I had embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder and my Big Shot. I also lightly sanded the woodgrain to bring out more of the texture. The card base and the Bird Builder-punched leaves are Always Artichoke. "Thinking of You" is from Wetlands, stamped in Early Espresso on a scrap of Venetian Romance Designer Paper that I then cut out with one of the Circle Card Thinlet Dies. For the four-petal flower on the word banner I punched the leftover cardstock from punching the ovals to punch with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack 4-petal flower. I added the Pearl Basic Jewel before I added the glitter.

I decided I needed for this to be a get well card, so I used a phrase from the tried-and-true set, Thoughts and Prayers. The flower spray is from the same set. I added more glittered flowers and leaves in the lower corner to finish everything off!

Tip: When working with any of our Stampin' Glitters, you will need to remove any excess glitter from your project once you are done or it will end up with "glitter scatter", as you can see in my sample above. A few quick swipes with a Swiffer cloth should do the trick nicely!

That's all for now! I'm all tuckered out from our shopping day. Did I mention that two of my grandbabies, Jaxon and Oakley, went with us? I had fun with my daughters and my grandson! yay!

To create your own glittered pumpkins you can order the supplies from my Online Store. The link to my Online Store is over there on the top right side of my blog. Place an order, receive a hand-stamped thank you from me and Bluesox Rewards if your order is $25 or more!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
