Weekly Spotlight 06/10-06/16

MFTWSHi everyone!

This week’s spotlight with My Favorite Things is on Glitters for the Glitter.

Your Spotlight Savings

All glitter is 15% off!  I used Sparkling Ice on my card below.  (This glitter is also included in the Summer Collection.)

Hope Your Birthday is the Best!

I transformed Birthday Flopsey‘s cake into a stack of gifts by omitting the trim from the cake when inking the stamp.  For the dots, I punched 1/4″ circles from MFTBBCURose cardstock, applied glue to each circle using a Quickie Glue Pen and then covered the dots with clear glitter.   I used a little paint brush to brush away any stray sparkles.

To make my curly bow, I cut a thin strip of cardstock, wrapped it around a large needle, bunched it a bit and glued it to the top gift.

Joanne has posted a tutorial in the MFT forum on different ways to use glitter. Be sure to check it out here.  (Her samples are FABULOUS!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I truly appreciate your interest!  Have a great day!
