This week's Make It Monday Challenge over at Papertrey Ink is glitter detailing.  Hold the phone! Glitter?! YES!

Now you must know I have a love/hate relationship with the sparkly stuff; if I am near it I get it in my eyes & hair, on my face & children, and sometimes even on my husband. I have learned that Stickles glitter glue works better for me than the loose kind. 

I used the Canvas & Linen impression plate on New Leaf cardstock and then embossed it with a Sizzix folder, sewed the perimeter, and added glitter with gold Stickles.  

I embossed the sentiment, added a strip of Scor-tape to help me pleat the ribbon, and attach it quickly. 

The die cut & stamped poinsettia got some foam adhesive for dimension and it also helped it sit better on the pleated ribbon.  I applied clear Distressed Stickles all over the green center and dotted gold Stickles on top. 

The inside got some stamping love with off-the-edge poinsettias.  I used another sentiment from Christmas Poinsettia set on the inside, which I placed in the Fillable Frames #4 image--it fit nicely too! 

Thanks for looking!

This is the inspiration photo from Papertrey Ink's November Blog Hop Challenge.  I was immediately drawn to the toile-esque wrapping paper and the gingham pattern of the furniture. Using the red, green, and white color scheme with a hint of silver I came up with this card:

I was a few minutes too late uploading my image to enter this round, but I see this as a great test run and learning experience.  This was the first ever blog hop--let alone challenge--I have tried to participate in. I did make this card in twenty minutes, which has to be an all-time record for me. ;)
