Wahoo! I just tried out my brand new Essential Glue Pad from Tsukineko! So easy, so fun! I just know I’ll be glitzing up my designs with a pile of glitter! The Essential Glue Pad is one of Tsukineko’s new Spring releases and I was lucky enough to find it at my local scrapbooking store. If you are looking for a good on-line source…I know that A Muse is now carrying it as well!
The Glue Pad is really easy to use and comes with its own refill in the package. Clean up is a breeze…just wipe off your stamp and rinse with water. The package suggests replacing the plastic inner liner as well as closing the pad lid to keep it working well. I must say, that in the past, I’ve shied away from glitter. The heating of that Heat and Stick powder and then the glitter…it’s a lot of clean-up and I’m one of those stampers who likes to get things done. So far, I really like the pad and now I just HAVE to go buy some more glitter!;)
Adorable Glitter Elephant
I just wish you could see the sparkle on this card in person…it is so cute, it makes me want to giggle! I really wanted to try out my new glue pad today and when today’s SCS daily challenge LSC112. I had this darling new Tres Jolie paper line from My Mind’s Eye. It means Very Pretty and oh yeah!!! It is sooo purdy! I managed to find some pale pink glitter in a drawer to match up with it and I was off! I just love the fun look to this card. The card base is made from Kraft cardstock and opens at the left side. I covered the card with the dotted and then the striped paper…i just love matching up dots and stripes! I had this cool new natural colored ric rak from Creative Impressions. I had a really good shop at my scrapbook store the other day…can you tell!;)
For the image I just “inked” the stamp with my new glue pad, stamped an impression and then sprinkled it with glitter. So fun and easy! To define the eye, I added a little pewter brad from Making Memories. The flower is stamped by inking the stamp with a celery and pumpkin marker. I just had to add another little circle detail. I just love tucking words around the image…I love adding little touches for your eye to wander around the design. For the final fun touch, I added a little flower from the Prima Essentials Lucid Collection (I’ve seen that before somewhere ;)). The center of the flower is the most darling little ribbon brad by Making Memories…more dots! I’m going dotty today and I love it!
