Hello creative friends! Today I am sharing 3 unique ways to add sparkle to your cards. All of these glittery techniques are easy to acheive and the best part? None of the glitter comes off!
I’m also excited to share that my sweet and kindhearted friend, Rubeena Ianigro is celebrating her 4th Anniversary of crafting with a BIG 2-day blog hop! I have known Ruby for this same length of time, and I am so blessed to have been able to share so many laughs, encourage each other in our creative journeys, and spend time together this year after 3 years of online friendship… Ruby is a very special person and helping her celebrate her awesome acheivements means a lot to me.
If you have already been hopping along in today’s hop, you should have arrived from the blog of another friend of mine; Jessica Frost-Ballas!

For this card, I was going for something modern, yet feminine. I also wanted to work with a limited color palette, so you’ll notice that there are just pink and blue tones, anchored by silver and white for some softness.
The first thing I did in creating this card was make the background; because I was going for feminine here, I used a Neat & Tangled Modern Triangle stencil with DIY glitter paste. This is glitter technique number one!
The glitter paste is a mixture of clear, Transparent Gloss paste mixed with WOW’s Truffle glitter. The paste mixture is carefully applied through the stencil over a Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink smooshed background.

Next I stamped a bunch of the Altenew Layered Laurel images with their Cool Summer Night oval ink pad set. The blues in this ink grouping are some of my most-favorites!
After stamping the images and fussy cutting each leaf branch out, I broke out my second glitter technique for today; a glitter pen! The Stardust clear glitter pens from Sakura are so pretty. The glitter has a warm, almost silver effect to it and looks so delicate and elegant on the blue laurel leaves.

Of course I needed to add a sentiment to fill in the center portion of the card… with the celebratory theme of the hop, I felt it only appropriate to use a “happy” greeting in my design!
The Simon Says Stamp Big Happy word die is a gorgeous script that exudes a modern, feminine feel and looks great cut from the Tonic Studios Silver Screen glitter cardstock (which is my third glitter technique!). There is a supporting sentiment under the greeting using the Birch Press Design Sending You Love stamp set.
For a bit of final embellishing, you’ll notice a scattering of Rose Gold and Peach Beach sequins (from both Pretty Pink Posh and Simon Says Stamp).

I love how this card turned out and I hope you like it too! These techniques are all easy to recreate and I really am happy about the no-mess glitter … no sparkles will end up off the card once it dries. YAY!

Yup Nina, you can’t get much more modern than blue leaves! Not criticizing–blue just happens to be my favorite color and I would have been happy if you had done the whole card in shades of blue! Lol! However, the pink and white does give the card a beautiful softness. Wish I could see the sparkle of the leaves. Love the sparkle in the background and in the greeting though. TFS and have a nlessed evening.
Thanks for showing us 3 ways to add glitter to a card. I like your simple color pallet too. Very pretty card. Thanks
Wow gorgeous sparkly card Nina. Such soft colors!

Your card is gorgeous! I had seen it earlier on IG. Love the colours and design, thanks for sharing & inspiring ! Such a wonderful hop .
Really love the design and your way of describing how you did it (makes me think I can do the same *big smile*). A question regarding the panel that you used glitter paste on. Do you diecut the panel before or after using the glitter paste??
