Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Today, I'm sharing with you my Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging perfect to add to any place in your home. To create my wall hanging, I've used a variety of our everyday themed chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging at home.

To start, choose two pieces of patterned paper that coordinate together. From the first patterned paper, die cut a 4 1/4" Fitted Fishtails. From the second piece of patterned paper, die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Fishtails. Distress the edges of the fishtails. Ink the edges of the fishtails using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Radiate Word Mix, you'll need the Glow, Shine and Radiate words. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to each word. Sprinkle Black Magic Molten Dimensions Embossing Powder over the entire surface of each word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Next, you'll need the Leaf Filagree. Cut one of the filagree in half. Apply two coats of Pine Needles Distress Paint to one of the filagree pieces. Apply two coats of Twisted Citron Distress Paint to the other filagree piece. 

The next piece you'll need is the Oval Arrow Frame. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the frame. Sprinkle White Wonder Molten Dimensions Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

From the Itty Bitty Butterflies, you'll need to take seven out of the package. Apply two coats of Twisted Citron Distress Paint to two of the butterflies. Apply a coat of Art Alchemy Impasto Paint - Wild Iris to two of the butterflies. Apply a coat of Art Alchemy Impasto Paint - Raspberry Pink to three of the butterflies. Ink the edges of the butterflies using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 3 3/4" Fitted Fishtail to the 4 1/4" Fitted Fishtail.

Adhere the Oval Arrow frame overtop of the 3 3/4" fitted fishtail.

Adhere the two leaf filagree pieces to the bottom left side of the oval arrow frame as desired.

Adhere the Glow, Shine, Radiate words to the middle inside of the oval arrow frame. The Radiate word will sit slightly on the leaf filagree and on the right side of the frame.

Adhere a pink and lime butterfly to the top right corner of the frame as desired. Adhere the other five butterflies on the left hand side of the frame, placing them in amongst the filagree and frame as desired.

To finish the wall hanging, punch two holes at the top. Tie a piece of twine through each hole to create a hanger.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished wall hanging.

Here is the finished Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging.

Sparkle Christmas Card with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone! It's Nancy here with a new project share.

I've glittered up some fabulous chipboard pieces,

to create a very sparkly Christmas card.

Here's my card:

Here's what I used:

When I cut out the chipboard "Sparkle",

 I left a little stem under the "a".

I also left a stem at the top of the ornament piece.

I then connected the two stems, 

so it looks like the ornament is hanging off of the word.

I began with adding some glue to the chipboard ornament,

in all the areas that I wanted to have green.

A skinny glue tip makes it so easy to add to the intricate areas.

I the shook green glitter very generously over the glued areas.

I then used tweezers to pick it up, turn it over, 

and shake off all the excess glitter. 

I then repeated the same process for the red glitter,

and then the white glitter.

I then set these pieces aside to dry.

I then cut an A2 size card base from white cardstock.

I cut the decorative paper 4" x 5 1/4".

I inked the edge of the paper, and adhered in place.

Once they were all dry,

I adhered the glittered pieces to the card front.

When I was all finished my project,

I used the Perfect Cleaning Cloth to wipe up all the glitter.

Here's one last look at the finished card:
