Glitter Me Happy!!

 Hello and welcome to the first Shopping Our Stash challenge of 2025....Glitter me happy. Glitter makes me smile but only if I'm not using loose glitter. My first idea was a technique using tombow glue with a bit of water with glitter to look like snow/ice but neither of the two glitter containers were on the shelf, so Stardust stickles was my glitter of choice for my snow scene. 


I used one of my Gruffies (he was on my desk)  and a rectangle of smooshed watercolour paper (also found on my desk) to make a holiday card (it's never too soon to start) I coloured and fussy cut the sled and snowbank, flat attached the snow but popped up the gruffie and toque. The stardust stickles was liberally applied (maybe a tad too much) to the snow bank and the toque. Sentiment was on the desk from where I stamped holiday envelopes after the PO strike was over.


Flags made from leftover scraps and a favourite sentiment were added to the inside. 

This is my first card for my 2025  holiday stash.

I am adding this to:


Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the SOS blog and see the glittery inspiration the design team have made.

I love the blue and white colors. I defiinitely love Stickles too. At least I won't find that loose in my kitchen drawers. I have loose glitter in almost every room in my house. I do love it. Your card is super cute. Gruffies are grand. I'd like to be sledding down a hill right now. Just minus the freezing cold weather.
