Glitz Design Maya and Kismet Cards

Good morning! Christine here, and it’s time for me to share a couple more cards that I’ve designed using the fabulous Maya and Kismet collections from Glitz Designs.

This first card was created using a combination of both collections. The green distressed paper is the reverse side of the Maya Damask (M2280) paper. It provides a great vibrant background for the red Kismet Ledger (K2860) paper.

I used a EK Success border punch to created the scalloped border around the ledger paper and stitched this to the green paper. Next, I cut out a couple of flowers from the Maya Floral (M2266) patterned paper. After adhering the ribbon and lace onto the front of the card, I layered the cut out flowers onto the card front using foam adhesive.  A Petaloo flower was adhered to the cut out flowers and a Glitz frosting rhinestone was added to the center of the flower.

Finally, the borders of the ledger paper were embellished with more clear and pink Glitz frosting rhinestones, and the sentiment was added using the adorable black round Glitz Teeny Alpha stickers (C2808).

For the next card, I used both collections again. The dark blue patterned paper is from the Maya collection (Maya Navy – M2877). I stitched this piece of paper onto the card front and layered another piece of the red Kismet Ledger paper (K2860) which was also punched with the EK Success scalloped border punch.

I added a border of white lace and green ribbon to the left side of the card and then added the cardstock sentiment sticker from the Maya Titles set.

Finally, I added a Petaloo flower with a clear Glitz frosting rhinestone in the center and embellished the card with white Prima pearl swirls.

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Glitz Design Vintage Cards

Good morning! I hope you're all doing well and that you enjoyed your weekend! Today I'd like to share a couple of cards that I created using the wonderful papers and embellishments from Glitz Design.

This first project has a sweet vintage card image from Glitz that celebrates friendship, and who wouldn't appreciate knowing that they're treasured as a friend forever? I just love the coordinating papers that match perfectly with the image as well.

After stitching a border around the light blue Glitz Vintage Love Letters paper, I added a couple of extra rows of sttiching to the top right corner and embellished the stitching with a few black Glitz frosting rhinestones.

I used the following products to create this card:

- Glitz Vintage Love - Letters VL2389 (light blue distressed paper)

- Glitz Vintage Love - Stripe VL2341 (cream/brown paper)

- Glitz Vintage Whatnots V2679 (vintage image)

- Glitz Black Frosting F2884

- Bazzill cardstock (blue card base, brown border)

- Shimmerz Spritz - Eucalyptus (on flower),  Shimmerz Paint - Antique Lace (on doily)

- Other: Doily, EK Success border punches, Petaloo flowers, crinkled seam binding, sewing machine stitching

The next card expresses the sweetness of having one's heart held dearly by another...

For this project, I used the vintage postcard from Glitz Design Vintage Love Whatnots set. It coordinated perfectly with the Distressed Couture Polka dot paper (DC2846) and red Kismet Ledger paper (K2860).  Each of these papers were layered onto the card base after I stitched a border around each piece of paper using my sewing machine and distressing the edges to add some dimension to them.  The white cardstock border was created using a Martha Stewart border punch. 

The sentiment on the postcard is a rub on from the Glitz Vintage Extras set and the key has been embellished with Glitz Clear Frosting for a touch of pizazz. Finally, I added some crinkled seam binding, a Prima burlap flower, and a piece of Prima die cut felt to finish the card.

I simply adore the vintage feel of these Glitz Design collections, and I hope that you'll be inspired to use some of them on your future projects as well! Have a wonderful day and...
