2 Smile Cards

Today I'm sharing 2 cards created using my Flaming Sunset Sparkle Blends! I started with a 4x5.25 panel of orange and pink tie-dye paper from my stash and then cut out  my shaker window using a Papertrey Ink Scene Its: Skyscapes sun rays die, setting aside the cut out to use on my second card. Next, I cut a circle frame out of gold DCWV glitter paper with the stitched circle frame from the Papertrey Ink Shaker Shapes: Circle die set. 

Next I adhered two layers of fun foam together and then selected a stitched circle die from my stash, slightly larger than my shaker window opening, and cut the opening for my Sparkle Blends and then used the same die cut my acetate window before adhering it to the back of my die cut panel.

For my sentiment, I cut out two of the Smile Die Cuts from the Hero Arts Smile Stamp & Cut set, one from gold glitter paper and 4 from 110lb white cardstock. I adhered the 4 white die cuts together and then one of the black cuts on top. I also adhered the second black die cut, off set on the gold glitter cut. Next, I stamped the "Brightens up my day" sentiment on 2 strips of black cardstock using Versamark ink, and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder.

I assembled my shaker, box and then placed some of the Flaming Sunset Sparkle Blends inside before backing with a panel of golden yellow cardstock, and adhered the whole panel to an A2 card base. Next, I added the gold glitter frame around my shaker before adding the dimensional Smile die cut Sentiment with the sentiment banner adhered below it. Finally I stamped "Your" using Onyx Black Versafine ink & added a few sequins from the Sparkle Blend as embellishments.

For my second card, I layered together the cut out from my shaker card panel, a circle of yellow cardstock and a larger stitched circle of gold glitter cardstock & adhered them in the top center of the card. Next I adhered my sentiments int he same location as my shaker card and added a generous sprinkling of sequins from the Flaming Sunset blend as embellishments
