That's alot of sparkle, I love it!

The Stickles really make a big difference! I'm going to start using them more.

Layout #2- lemon Ice Stickles, Lime Ice Stickles, Pink Paislee papers, Chatterbox Charms
For this layout I wanted you how you can use stickles to accent a background and along the edges of papers to give them more definition.

I started by cutting a picece of green paper and using one of my edge punches and adhering it to the bottom half of the Wonderful Pink Pailsee paper. I then used the Lime Ice stickles and followed the curve of the paper to give it a little more uumphh. I also added a dot in between the punched circles of the edge.

Awesome! There are some great tips here.

Wow!! That really makes a difference. What a cute Layout!

Next I used the lemon Ice and the Lime Ice stickles to along the green and yellow stripes of the background paper. This gives you exact lines to follow and adds a little dimension to your background. This step was very difficult to photograph , so I had my dd take a picture of me actually doing it so hopefully you can what I am doing.

Next I decided on which of the Chatterbox charms I was going to use. When I am going to be covering a piece chipboard I like to outline the area I am working in first.


It could be left just like this, but I chose to fill mine in the rest of the way.



Here is what my completed piece looks like.

I love stickles and have a ton of colors.....I love some of the ideas you have given.

I have to go...time to go home, get the kidlets from daycare and school...etc...


But I'll be back! Great class Cindy, I can't wait to read the rest.

I know this is moving a bit fast--- but I guess it is more of a tutarial...because of the drying time required to do each piece.....I know you cannot finish anything during class time. i am just hoping to give you some great ideas to take with you.

When I combined these pieces with my pictures the final result is ........

Great ideals I love I also use mine over painted chipboard letters

Layout #3- Fancy Pants Kraft Die Kut, Turquoise Stickles.



Again I wanted to show another way to accent a background. I first cut out the center lines portion of the paper and distressed the edges( you can learn how to do this in Beth's distressing class later this weekend.)

Next, I used the turquoise stickles to make a dot on the cross of each box. The dots are varied in size but that helps to add dimension.

WOW...these layouts are looking great. Love the chipboard "painted" with Stickles...and the details of your scalloped border punch.
beautiful! I am going to add some to my Challenge #1 layout because of this class. Thank you.

Yeah...I am just following along now and will go to work later.

THis is great! No worries! Love the second finished product too!

Another great layout! Cindy, have you found that stickles are harder to work with on a particular type of paper versus others or takes longer to dry on certain surfaces? Just curious.

I LIKE the Froggy Dribbler LO!!!!;)

Yes--- they do smear easier on glossy paper...you just have to be more careful.


On vellum type papers you have to use less....and less pressure...they tend to "bleed" a little depending on how porous your papers are.

Gorgeous projects, Cindy!!!
