Nickabella has been BiZzy.. check out these gorgeous cards! This one is using our brand new Tiddly DAISY HIGHTOPS.  isn’t it ADORABLE?  Colored with copics and the flower on the top left is one of my faves.  They come from PRIMA in either a TUBE or a BAG in white.. SO versatile! Nicky used her copics to dye these flowers to match the paper.  We will show you another tip with these flowers tomorrow.  You get a KAJILLION of them.. the one in the TUBE are larger than the ones in the bag.  Isn’t it great?  This is so great for a little girl, a teen, an exerciser (what is THAT? LOL).. an EXTREMELY versatile stamp!

Nicky used PEACE HIGHTOPS in the following card.  Also colored with her COPICS and she used our new American Craft ZING embossing powders for the sentiment.  In my humble weight watchered opinion (lol) the TRUE test of using an embossing powder and making sure the quality is top notch is to try it on an itty bitty image or a sentiment to see how detailed it is and make sure the words are legible.  WELL GUESS WHAT?  These powders are absolutely fantabulous.  First, the pallette is gorgeous (45 colors).. 2nd, the fine-ness of them and quality is not to be beat.  Why do you think I brought in EVERY SINGLE COLOR? LOL.. (go big or GO HOME.. my philosophy).. I will show you another tip tomorrow on making embossing and glittering easier..

I love reviewing products.. I am a PRODUCT QUEEN.. I will try my bestest to feature some of my favorite things and see what you thinky

Mwah to da sistahs who LOOOOVEY da cards and who need a little….. ZINNNNGGGG!
