Trying to beat the winter blues I decided to create some really dazzling spring flowers using P K Glitz glitter, WonderFilm, Ritzy Ditzy Glitz, and a few other items!

I thought the flowers would be a beautiful accent to these tins that I purchased at the Dollar Spot in Target. I used attached the pattern paper to the tins using  1/2 inch Sticky Tape and then I put a strip of 3/8 inch Sticky Tape along the top edge and applied a coordinating glitter to the tape. For just a little more bling, I used my Quickie Glue pen and some glitter crystals to accent some of the patterns in the paper. For the final touch, I attached one of my Dazzling Flowers to a ribbon bow and attached it to the top of the tin using 1/2 inch Sticky Tape. Isn’t Sticky Tape so versatile? I just love it!

The pink and blue tins hold my distress inks

The orange tin holds my Colorbox Cat Eye inks

The green tin holds my templates and stencils

Though most of us may be longing for Spring, it’s not time to put away those winter stamps yet. I took out myStampBOX set of “Let It Snow” and put together a little note card to a family member who lives in the desert southwest and rarely sees snow.

Of course I glitzed it up!  First I used Powder Keg High Gloss Embossing Powders in Gold and Silver for message and flakes.  Then I threw in a couple of E P Max flakes in Gold and Silver.   To dress up the ribbon, I ran a piece of P K Giltz 1/8″ Sticky Tape down the center of blue grosgrain and added P K Glitz Silver Glitter Glitz for an accent. It’s still that time of year……. so “Let It Snow”.  Glitzing on……………. Janelle

I’ve enjoyed working with our Preferred Partner products from My Stamp Box! So fun and full of versatility! The stamps range from classic to super fun and light. The stamps are clear and very easy to see where you’re stamping. The Birthday Balloons set has solid images which are perfect for heat embossing. Take a look at the card below and you’ll see what I mean! There are 12 stamps in the set, all with different designs. I found that the flower balloon wasn’t necessarily birthday themed, so I paired it with a sentiment from the Straightforward set. That set has 11 stamps, all sentiments in great fonts and sizes. It makes a simple card really stand out!

Supplies:
P K Glitz Honeycomb Powder Keg Embossing Powder
P K Glitz Honeycomb, Gilded Grape Leaf and Lemonade Glitter Glitz
P K Glitz Sticky Tape and Sticky Paper

For those of you who are waiting on pins and needles to see the announcement of the new Design Team members for P K Glitz, we are going to have to ask you to wait just a little longer. The whole decision making process is taking a little longer than what was originally expected so please be patient.

In the meantime, we realized that our existing design team has never been formally introduced so I would like to start off by introducing  myself.

I am  Tammy and I am living with my wonderful husband and very quickly growing teenage son on a small farm in North East Texas.  It seems that all of my life I have been involved in some sort of crafting.  In 1995 I began scrapbooking – at my husband’s request. Now I have someone to blame for my addiction In 2001 my art took on a whole new form when I discovered rubber stamps.

I met Jim and Janelle Marshall (owners of P K Glitz) at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington, Texas. Their booth was hopping with customers and they were needing help so they hired me at the recommendation of Andrea (who you will meet tomorrow).  By the following year Janelle had decided to form a design team and asked me to join the team and as the saying goes “the rest is history!”

I have been published in several print and online magazines and have had opportunities to teach classes both online and in person.  The best part of this industry is that I have been able to meet new friends and share my love of crafting with others.

How would you describe your style?
My style changes with my mood but for the most part my projects stay pretty clean with just a little shabby chic thrown in for good measure I have never really known how to describe the way I create.

What are your favorite colors to work with?
I love anything from Easter colors to bright yellows, pinks, greens, blues, and corals.

What do you like to do when you are not in your studio creating?
I love walking along our creek and spending time with our animals. I usually have my camera with me and try to work on my outdoor photography skills.

Do you prefer to work on scrapbook projects or make cards?
My first love is scrapbook pages, but I also like creating dimensional projects using my stash. Cards are a great way to use up extra supplies when I am done creating.

What is your favorite – P K Glitz embossing powder or glitter glitz?
It would have to be the P K Glitz glitter – especially since I have almost all of the colors. I also really like the E P Max and E P Lite embossing glitters especially when working in my scrapbooks or altering an embellishment.

Here is a project that I recently created using embossing powder and embossing glitter with the Colorful Companions stamp set from myStampBOX – a P K Glitz Preferred Partner.

Welcome to today’s edition of “Talk Tuesdays“! Today is the day that we post answers to questions that we’ve received either in our blog comments, from the shows we attend or emails. Come back every week and you’ll find the answers to those questions!

Q: Is there a difference in cardstock when I want to heat emboss?
A: Yes! Quality, paper weight and surface texture all make a difference in its acceptance of embossing inks and powders.

Q: Are the Sticky Tapes and WonderFilm acid-free?
A: Yes! Isn’t that great?

Here’s a beautiful idea to add sparkle and shimmer to any festive table setting!

Supplies:
Sticky Paper
Sticky Tape, 1/8″
Glitter Glitz
Powder Keg Embossing Powder
Leaf Punch
Glue Dots or Foam Squares
Cardstock in two colors

Step 1: Cut the cardstock pieces for the card. The lighter color will be 3″ x 4 1/2″ and the darker color will be 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Punch 3 leaves from the Sticky Paper. Peel the protective covering from 2 of the 3 leaves. Using an assortment of Glitter Glitz, sprinkle over the exposed Sticky Paper adhesive. Brush the leaf after each color application to save the excess glitter. I used Buttered Rum, Egyptian Treasure, Poppy Jasper and New England Autumn colors.

Step 2: Peel the protective covering from the last leaf. Sprinkle the Powder Keg Embossing Powder over the exposed Sticky Paper adhesive. Heat to emboss and set. I used the New England Autumn color.

Step 3: Fold each of the cardstock pieces in half. Attach the leaves to the front of the light colored folded card using Glue Dots. Add a strip of the Sticky Tape along the bottom of the light colored card. Remove the tape liner and sprinkle with your choice of Glitter Glitz. Brush to remove the excess. Print or stamp the desired name.

Congratulations! Your card is complete! Happy Holidays from P K Glitz!

The holidays are now upon us so here is a quick little idea to turn an ordinary votive into something festive and fun!

Supplies Needed:
WonderFilm
Glitter Glitz
Goat Hair Brush
Small Spoon
Sticky Tape
Coffee Filters (optional)

Step 1:
Punch or die cut a leaf shape from your WonderFilm, then peel the protective covering from one side of the WonderFilm shape.
With the sticky side against the glass, place your leaf onto the votive.

Step 2:
With your image now on the votive, from one edge or corner, begin peeling off the protective covering. This will expose the adhesive in the shape of your die cut. Try not to touch the adhesive while working on this project.
To get a really nice looking fall leaf, I like to work with anywhere from 5 – 8 coordinating colors such as Chocolate, Pumpkin, Red Hot Chili Pepper, Buttered Rum, Gilded Grape Leaf, New England Autumn, Cinnabun,  and Egyptian Treasure

Step 3:
With your first color, begin to “sprinkle” the color along the bottom third of the leaf. Do this by holding the spoon about 1 – 2 inches above your project and tap the spoon with your index finger. This will give a light spray of color without harsh lines.
When you are finished with your first color, use your goat hair brush to gently wipe away excess glitter. Make sure you do not go across the adhesive as this will cause the glitter to be adhered to the entire leaf.
Continue with your second color as you did with your first. Do this with each color until your leaf is completed.

Step 4:
Once your leaf is complete, put a strip of Sticky Tape around the bottom of edge of the glass votive.
I am using 1/4 inch Sticky Tape.

Step 5:
Remove the protective covering from the Sticky Tape and begin sprinkling your first color of Glitter Glitz onto the Sticky Tape. Brush off excess before adding your second color. Continue doing this until the Sticky Tape is completely covered.

Here is your finished votive piece. On the left you will see the votive when it is not lit and on the right when the candle is lit. Both versions yield a beautiful accent to your holiday table or gathering!
