Sequin Butterflies + Giveaway

Give me a S-E-Q-U-I-N-S! What’s that spell? Sequins!  Okay, so I would never qualify as a cheerleader…

I’m back with another card featuring sequins- this time in a slightly different form. I wanted to showcase how you could use your die cuts to allow your sequins to peek through and shine. I had so much fun picking out the sequins to feature on this card- there are so many color combinations I could use!

To adhere my sequins, I covered a sheet of cardstock with ATG tape and then lined up all of my pretty sequins. Once I had covered all of the paper, I overlaid my die cut chevron paper with dimensional tape. I will admit that it takes a bit of time, but for close friends or family, it’s worth it.

Recently on Twitter, I mentioned that I was going to host a sequins giveaway soon. Well, the day has come! I purchased extras of some of my favorite sequin colors {shown below} and want to share the sequin love with one lucky person!

  6. Amazing creativity on this one Paulina! I think I would be like you and not be able to decide what colors to use, they’re all so pretty! Based on what you’re giving away I think the soft pink and gold are pretty dreamy although the aqua are mighty fine too LOL :)

  15. I love all the colors of sequins, as I can create a card with any color :) thanks for the lovely giveaways

  16. Paulina, this is a stunner! I love the stripes of color, negative die cuts and that fab chevron paper. I love it!!! So creative and perfectly executed! It’s pretty hard to choose just one fave color, but I think I’ll go with teal or turquoise…it reminds me of a mermaid’s tail…a throwback to childhood dreams :) Thanks for the chance to win. You are so generous! xx

  17. Love the way you showcased those sequins.
    Thank you for the chance to win.

  18. Wowsers! Thats alotta sequins! But such a good and glittery effect on your butterfly card. I don’t own ANY sequins (yet) but I’d have to go with red as a favorite colour, for adding that POP to a special project.

  20. Hi Paulina!
    OMG! I LOVE your BEAUTIFUL butterfly card! It turn out sooo GORGEOUS with the sequins…it’s so amazing! I just received my sequins order from Neat & Tangled. I am so in love with all of the beautiful colors she carries in her store! Thank you for recommending Neat & Tangled. :) Also, thank you for sharing today’s card…it will definitely inspire me to jump in and create my 1st card with my beautiful sequins! Yay! Take care and have a wonderful Easter weekend! :)

  21. Such a beautiful card! I would never have thought to do this! Thanks for sharing!

    Hugs,

  22. Give me…… some of those awesome sequins! Guess I wouldn’t make it as a cheerleader either. These colors are so pretty. Love how you incorporated them on your can….and cannot resist chevon. Two great trends. thanks for the chance to win.

  23. Any shade of blue or green has me all giddy. Thanks for the giveaway :)

  24. OMG!! Thank you for the chance to win this!! I guess my favorite color is light pink.

  27. Cute card!! I love the colors you chose!! I have been seeing the negative technique everywhere, but I think your the first thatvi’ve seen using the ATG tape to adhere them down!! I’ll have to try this because on my Easter cards I used tombow mono glue and let it get tacky before I set my sequins!! I used tweezers to place them, but it was still tricky!! Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win!! Have a Fabulous Easter Weekend!! ;)

  28. Wow, what a labor of love! So pretty. I must use up the sequins that were my mother-in-law’s and get new sequins in these fabulous colors!

  30. The Mermaid colored ones above look like a color I’d use more often than others, but any sequins would be put to good use in my stamp room. Thanks for the chance to win some! Your “sequined” butterflies are beautiful.

  31. I have never thought of using sequins this way – it looks so pretty! It is so hard to pick a favorite color of sequins, they are all so pretty! I would probably say red if I HAD to pick ONE – ever since I saw Dorothy’s shoes in the Wizard of Oz sparkly red things always catch my eye. Thanks for the chance to win some sparkle!!

  33. I love sequins thanks to you! I saw that you had ordered from Neat & Tangled and their colors are so divine! Your card is gorgeous too! Thanks for the chance to win!

  34. I have not tried sequins on cards before, would love to give them a go! Thanks for a chance to win. I love the gold sequins – they add a bit of glam!

  35. your card is cute, this will take a bit of getting use to, since i have not had any sequin on my table..

  36. Great card, My favourite colour sequin would have to be silver at the moment :)
