Hi Everyone,
Today is the day for the "Anything but a Card" blog hop with Sparkle N Sprinkle! You should have come here by way of Brigita, but if you didn't, start at the beginning, so you don't miss out on commenting along the way! Lots of great prizes to be had :)
I've been seeing many projects around Pinterest that feature paint chips, (You know, those strips of paint samples from the store?) so I used those as a theme in today's projects. I just love the gradient colors on them :)
First off I have a bookmark to show you. I simply cut off the paint numbers from the one side, punched a hole at the top for the ribbon and rounded the corners at the top Then I chose my stamps, Blossoms to Go (#444S) and stamped them in Versamark(#712353310018) and Black Detail Embossing Powder(#EP171)
I added a few gems to finish it off. Quick, easy and super cute. My kinda project :)
The next project is a scrapbook page using a photo from last October. I love autumn and all the gorgeous colors that time of year. It's what I think of when I see these beautiful colors in the Velvet Glitter line. Specifically Tiger Orange (#GM2003), Goldenrod (#GM2006), and Luau Green (#GM2004). I die cut these leaves from Sticker Paper (#99558), sprinkled them with glitter and then dry embossed. It turned out even better than I dared to hope :)
Here is a look at the paint chip I used to embellish my page and I used the same glitters and sticker paper to spell out the word Autumn on my page.
The sentiment and flourish from the above photo both come from the stamp set Autumn Swirl (#410)and I used some Bronze Splendor (#G1012) glitter in my die cut layers.
As always, full details can be found in my card gallery.
Thanks for peeking in today. This hop is a fun one, lots more surprises along the way. Next up is Cammy!
Enjoy!

The paint stores are going to hunt you down for starting a run on their paint chips! LOL Great idea! Love the scrapbook page. Your leaves are super. Thank you for sharing.
I love how you used the paint chips for the bookmarks. Your scrapbook page is gorgeous!! Love all the sparkly fall color.
Love the elegance created by the use of black ink on the paint strips, simplicity at its best. Using one letter in each of the separate colors on the one strip is a great idea which I haven't seen before, I'll never look at paint chips the same again!
Great bookmarks! I have often looked at those paint chip samples and thought they would be excellent to use for a craft project. The black flowers on top of the different colors are great. The scrapbook page is wonderful. Love the beautiful colored leaves made with the Velvet Glitter.
