Hello everyone and Happy New Year!  It’s Erica here on the blog, with glitter everywhere.  In today’s post I’m going to be playing with some new glitter powders and make my own glitter card stock for some word dies.

Embossing Powders (which are being released on January 25, 2021) we make Alice sparkle and shine! I began with 'Minty', as it was a perfect accent for her dress & hair bow. STEP 3 ~ When it was time to move on to the next colour, I selected 'Earl Grey' along with Marion Emberson's 'Tropical' stamp & the WOW! Embossing Pad.  I used scrap pieces of printer paper to block off
