giveaway …. september card kit

Hello Friends!! How are you today?? It’s always a fun day when I have one of Simon Says Stamp Card Kits to GIVEAWAY!! Thank You Simon!

TODAY I AM GIVING AWAY THE SEPTEMBER CARD KIT. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS LEAVE ME A COMMENT LETTING ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE GLITTER…OR JUST SAY HI 🙂
 (I will pick a random winner on the 29th at midnight & post the winner on the 30th.)

Did you join in the blog hop for the September Card Kit??  I created several cards for the hop but, this time I wanted to make a masquline card. I also needed to use more of Tim Holtz’s distress glitter & Kelly Purkey’s die AGAIN called “Triangles” and oh the possibilities!

Did you happen to notice that ONLY ONE of the triangles on the card is glittered with Peacock Feathers? The other two glitter colors are this & this.

It’s super fast when using Glossy Accents on your die before adding the Distress Glitter. Shake off excess and set aside to dry.

Your can get  more mileage from your die cuts by using them on an edge as I did here. Trim with black card stock to highlight the fun edge. The sentiment was stamped with the “Life is a Journey” that’s included in the card kit. That’s it for today and please remember I am always grateful for your visit. Shoot me an email if you have questions. Hugs, Kathy
P.S. If you don’t have a blog please LEAVE YOUR EMAIL so I can contact you if you win.

    Not a fan of glitter unless it comes from a pen or brush. However…There is a collection of tiny jars of glitter in my craft-room on the shelf to keep the FAIRIES happy just in case:)

  11. Shaughn Woodruff says

    I’m so loving that awesome glitter! That die is to “die” for as well….lol! I love your masculine card! Those are something I struggle with myself! Your blog is such a great inspiration for me! Thank you so much! Hugs-Shaughn

    My relationship to glitter is a love-hate one. I love the effect of glitter on finished products, but I hate how messy it gets when using it…

  22. Isha Gupta says

    I love glitter, infact made a sparkly card yesterday:) Gorgeous and perfect masculine card. I’ve never tried a kit before but it seems like I have to try once 🙂

  26. Pat says

    What a great card! I didn’t notice that one of the triangles was different til you told me.

    Thanks for the chance to win…and no, I’m not a huge fan of glitter. I’ll add shine with glitter pens or stickles but I don’t use glitter often.

  28. Marianne says

    Hi Kathy. Love how you have balanced all that glitter with a neutral background. Glitter is great, in small dosages. ; -)

    I love the look of glitter but the not the mess, so tend to use pre-glittered things more often that the loose. That being said, I’m probably going to cave and get some of the new Ranger TH glitter! [If I was lucky enough to win, just want to mention that I might not have much access to the ‘net or email in the week following the close of the giveaway!]

  35. Karen says

    That glitter is beautiful, great card. I must confess I hate the mess it makes so I don’t use glitter very often. The kit looks like it is a lot of fun. Hope your week is off to a good start.

  38. adele holcomb says

    Your projects are always so unique! I love the die cut off the edge and then outlined in black!

    Yes, glitter is OK but I seldom use it. I make a lot of cards for Operation Write Home (they provide blank cards for soldiers in remote assignments to write home on). Glitter is a strict no-no because it could migrate to them and be picked up by enemy night vision tools.

  42. Sue D says

    Great use of this die and I like the colors of glitter you used. I tend to only use a bit of glitter on my projects.

  54. Deborah Montgomery says

    Absolutely love Glitter!! I’m actually kinda sorta addicted to it right now. I just can’t make a card without it…it just looks too plain to me anymore :). Thanks for the opportunity to win next months card kit!

  56. urska-ustvarja says

    I like glitter, but I hate that afterwards it just gets everywhere!
    Finding it on my face, arms and in my hair is nothing extraordinary, but finding it in my bra is silly. 🙂

  59. Karen Freeman says

    I do love glitter and are trying to find new ways to use it. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

  60. Mateja Povše says

    I love glitter! But when I make masculine cards I don’t really know if it’s too glitzy for a guy to use them :/ But it really make a differenc in the end result… everything looks better with some sparkle on 🙂

  61. Janis says

    I love glitter!! I don’t use it as much as I should, though, so love the inspiration I get from cards like yours!

    I love the new TH glitter! I can’t wait till it gets to New Zealand!!! I didn’t notice the single peacock feather glitter triangle until I read your comments – it looks fab though! Such delicious colours 🙂

  64. Small T says

    Hi Kathy, I love glitter, and I love how you used glitter on this card! 🙂 Thank you so much for the chance to win this fantastic kit! xo

  65. Susan says

    Too funny, but I was not a fan of glitter until taking some Heartfelt Creations classes this weekend. Oh my, just a little bit of glitter brightened up both cards and layouts. So I’ve already made a couple of cards at home and put glitter on them! I think I’ll be using it a lot in the future!

  67. Lynn says

    I love your card ( interesting edge treatment ) , love triangles and love glitter … Thank you for the chance to win the kit .

  68. Betty Meyskens says

    I love glitter, but I have not worked with it much lately. Thank you for the inspiration to get it out again. I didn’t notice the peacock glitter the first time around but went back for a second look and there it was. Thank you for a chance to win an awesome kit.

  74. Trish says

    I love glitter and I love die cutting, a marriage made in card heaven! Love your card tip of using dies on the edge, a very nice touch!

  79. billiejo says

    Your card is delightful and the kit looks filled with fun! I live in a hot climate so the question is not do I like glitter, but is it cool enough to turn off all the fans while I create this?
    Thanx for another chance to win.

  82. Valerie says

    I like the glitter but can’t use it on most of the cards that I make. They are going to OWH and glitter can be seen by night vision goggles.

  87. Renuka says

    Distress glitter.. life just gets better and better.. love your card the colors you chose. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome kit.

  88. Wendy G. says

    I am attracted to shiny things so of course I love glitter! That small triangle die is on the way to my house, too. Great card!

  91. {VICKI} says

    I like the glitter
    although I don’t use glitter very much!
    I like the paper where it’s already on it,
    thanks for the chance to win.

  95. Pam pjrudzki1@msn.com says

    I love glitter! But I hate the mess it makes. I’ve used one of the funnel trays, but the glitter sticks to it more than I’d like. Thanks for the chance to win!

  96. byAnnette says

    I have to use glitter when I face paint; it makes all the difference!
    {I use special face painting glitter}
    But I stay away from it when I craft since I mostly make cards for Operation Write Home and glitter is a huge NO NO for safety reasons.

  98. calamity jane says

    I don’t use a lot of glitter but I love the effect you’ve gotten using it on this card. I really like Kelly’s new dies & stamps!! This is just a great kit all the way around.

  100. Marcie Lovett says

    I love glitter, but I don’t use it very often. I’ve started to use Stickles, because it avoids the mess and lets you control the application. Is the Tim Holtz glitter chunky or did you put a lot on? It looks fabulous! marcielovett at Hotmail dot com

  102. Heatheranne says

    The sparkles are so much fun and I like that you used different colours. I have a blog, but too nervous to write in it. lol Thanks for sharing and the chance to win. Have a great day! 🙂

  106. Julie D. Richards says

    I love glitter but often forget to use it. I love what you did with it in this card. It’s very southwestern looking and as I live in Arizona, it’s very appealing to me. Have a great day. Hugs, Julie.

  109. Cat Spicer says

    Do I like glitter??? Isn’t that the same as asking if the Pope’s Catholic? LOL. I don’t know any crafter who doesn’t LOVE glitter, including me! I love your card and especially like the single peacock triangle. It adds a pop and some uniqueness!

  114. Anonymous says

    Hi Kathy
    Glitter is my new obsession, it works better with a Glossy Accents type of product, less mess. I had been crafting cards earlier and while watching TV with hubby I started to giggle he had glitter on his cheek. Now how did that get there? Thanks for sharing your creations.

  119. Lori Hefner says

    Love glitter, but I’m just not sure how to use so it doesn’t look like a 5 year old played in it.lol Your project makes me want to try it:) Thanks so much!

  120. Christina says

    I am dying to get my hands on the new Distress Glitter! I loooove all the Distress products and techniques and love how you incorporated some of that into your card. I can’t wait to try out your suggestions and ideas. And I did indeed notice the triangle you singled out from the others with a different color. LOL. I have done something similar in a few of my own Zentangle art pieces. Cheers to you! (Hope I win. As per your request, my email address is acfranks@bellsouth.net.) Hopping along…. 🙂

  121. Sonia says

    Great giveaway. I love glitter, I usually coat it in glossy accents once it has dried so the glitter doesnt flake off.

  123. mtscrapgal says

    Here’s the thing, Kathy. I like glitter if other crafters use it and in moderation. The only glitter I use is glittered paper once in a great while or Stickles. The real stuff is too labor intensive and messy for me. (Did you want this much of a rant when you ask this?) sorry! he he.

  130. theinkingarden says

    What girl doesn’t love glitter?! I thought it was mandatory. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win a kit and thanks for the inspirations. Have a great day!

  132. Tammy says

    I have some neon glitter that I’ve been hoarding for awhile now. I just never seem to use it but it’s so pretty!

  134. Karenladd says

    Oh my gosh, I LOVE this card! What a great way to use the glitter and die cuts. As for me, yes I do love my glitter and am always looking for new ways to use it! Thanks for the creative inspiration!

  141. SHartl says

    Who said you can never have too much glitter? Oh, that would be me!! Yes, I love love love glitter and I LOVE your awesome card!

  142. Shona Chambers says

    I think glitter has come such a long way since I was a kid at school (30 odd years ago….) and it looks amazing in so many different ways. I love how this card is more masculine but the glitter doesn’t look out of place at all. Colour combo is brilliant and love the triangles and hexagons together. Fantastic!! shona.chambers@orcon.net.nz

  144. TLady says

    OH YES!!!!! I LOVE to use GLITTER!!!!!:)It DOES depend on WHAT you use it on too!!! Certain cards just CRY OUT for GLITTER!!!!:) SUPER CARD KATHY!!!!:) LOOOOOOOOVE those TRIANGLES!!!!!:)

  145. TLady says

    OH YES!!!!! I LOVE to use GLITTER!!!!!:)It DOES depend on WHAT you use it on too!!! Certain cards just CRY OUT for GLITTER!!!!:) SUPER CARD KATHY!!!!:) LOOOOOOOOVE those TRIANGLES!!!!!:)

  147. Kim C says

    Omg I love your card and I love glitter! Really wanna try some of that distress glitter! Didn’t know you could use glossy accents to adhere them. So cool.

  157. Kathy says

    I love glitter but don’t use it often as I can’t do it without making a mess. My compromise is a glitter Gelly Roll pen. Thanks for the chance to win!

  159. Greta says

    I have quite a few of the Distress Stickles, but now I “need” Distress glitter, too! Your card is fantastic, Kathy, & I’m putting that die on my wishlist!

  164. Michele Clay says

    Oh yes, I love glitter! So cool that only 1 of your triangles used the Peacock Feathers (my favorite)! I really like the September Card Kit too!

  171. Kathy H says

    I loved using glitter as a child and I still love the look of it but, somehow, the thought of the mess keeps me away from it now! Of course now I have glitter nail polish, eyeshadow, pre-glittered paper, etc.

  177. Maryann Laursen says

    Oh my goodness, so many people joined this time. I had totally overlooked this this time, but here I am.
    Gorgeous work as always hun and I love the glitter, you´re adding to it, but I am a very glitter girl he he he

  180. craftvithme says

    Pretty Card Kathy. I love glitters in moderation 😀 I like them to be a focal point or to add just a touch of bling.

    My favorite kind of glitter are Stickles from Ranger.

  181. Teri says

    Pick Me! Pick Me! I’ve been wanting to try the kit for so long. Your blog inspires me daily….Thank you for that! I’m a glitter junkie and love all things sparkly!

  187. Pamela says

    Yes, I love glitter, especially Tim’s new Distress Glitter. I haven’t got any yet, but know I will love them when I do.

    Love, love, love glitter! My husband says 100 years from now future residents of our home will constantly question why bits of glitter seep out of the walls!
