Shine Bright + Sequin Giveaway!
I think I need a nickname having to do with sequins- I cannot get enough! It seems like no matter how much I try to create cards without them, they somehow make a way onto my creations. I am hopelessly and utterly addicted.
It’s that time again…..GIVEAWAY time! As promised, I have another sequin giveaway and I’m thrilled to say that this one is being sponsored by Neat & Tangled! I picked out five of my favorite sequin colors {do you realize how hard this was….it’s like picking a favorite child!} and Danielle graciously provided them as the giveaway.
Seeing as there’s a giveaway, I thought it appropriate to share a card showcasing the colors the lucky winner will be receiving. All you need for this cutie are some star dies, sequins and a sentiment, easy peasy!
For those new to my blog, in case you need some inspiration on sequins, I have lots to share. I debated on the easiest way to share all of the links and decided creating a Pinterest board would be the way to go. Click here to all of my sequin creations.
Okay, now let’s get to the good stuff….. the details of the giveaway and all the different ways you can enter!
Everyone likes to hear about a giveaway, so be sure to share, tweet and email all of your friends about the giveaway!
I hope that with each sequin post, I’m passing along my love of them to more of you, my amazing readers. If you’ve created crafty projects with sequins, I’d love to take a peek. Feel free to leave a comment with the direct blog link to your post(s) so the fellow sequin lovers and I can take a peek. :)
I’m with you! Hopelessly addicted!!!
Beautiful bright card!
Super FUN Giveaway Paulina! Love your sequined up stars… they are fabulous!
I LOVE your sequin creations and you have, indeed, passed your love of sequins down to me and I’ve become obsessed. I wish I had a decent camera and could even figure out how to do a blog so I could show you some of my cards before I send them off to friends! Thanks for inspiring me.
wow I am totally loving the sequins.. awesome awesome card..
Another sparkly little lovely Paulina! I like the colors you picked as your faves, the mint is beautiful! I have a sequin card over at Precious Remembrance today!!!
I would struggle to choose 5 favorites too, but these are a great selection! Your card is fabulous :) Thanks for the chance to win!

I LOVE Neat & Tangled!!! So much fun, and that card is gorgeous!!
So pretty! I love the way you tucked your sentiment into that star!
Awesome giveaway!
Hey Paulina!! Thanks so much for this chance to win! Ca you believe I don’t own any sequins?!?!? do you need help getting up off the floor:)?
Love your inspiration on using sequins and I created a lot of cards by your ideas. Thanks for your giveaway :-).
I recently found my love for sequins—-so pretty! Thanks for the chance!
I don’t do Facebook or Twitter (still in the dark ages, I know!), but I do already follow in e-mail (hopefully this doesn’t send me 2 e-mails) & I’m now following you in Pinterest. I do need to figure out Pinterest better. I’m barely using my sequins which I’ve had for over 10 yrs (this look way nicer!) so I love having access to your inspiration–like today’s card which I love! Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!
I love all your sequins!! I think you have exquisite taste. Very cute card.
Super cute card..

Love all your sequin cards!
fabulous cards Paulina, or should I call you Shiny?! :) I haven’t boarded the sequin train yet, but it isn’t because I don’t want to. i will! :) Thanks for the chance to win too!
I’m the same way (and I think you got me started!) about sequins! Love them!! And, they seem to *need* to be on my projects. Sometimes I have to hold myself back from using them! Here’s one that I made a while back: http://www.abitofscrappygoodness.blogspot.com/2013/04/serenity-now.html. Keep up the great work Paulina! Love your blog!
Okay, Sequin Queen…what is your secret for adhering so neatly? I was so excited when I found some sequins in a Marth Stewart Crafts embellishment kit in my stash. I added them to a layout but I must admit I was having a hard time with those litte bitty pieces. I think I had more adhesive on me then my layout. Lol. I do like that way they look and will try again.
Hi Lynn! Oh my goodness, LOVE the nickname! :)
My “secret” for adhering for large areas (like backgrounds) is ATG tape. I roll it out onto my cardstock and then apply my sequins. It holds them really well and for large areas, I find this to be the best. When I used just a few sequins here or there, I use Crystal Lacquer with the tiny applicator tip. It permanently adheres it and with the tip, it doesn’t go everywhere. Another idea: there are crafting tweezers available (I don’t own one, but I know they’re out there), that you can use to help with placing the sequins.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll do my best to answer them!
thanks! I will give those ideas a try. Glad you liked the nickname, I meantit as a compliment! I just read the FB post and it gave me a chuckle! I’ll try to remember to post a link when I post my layout next week.
Thanks again for the quick response!
A little sequins love to share :)

Love sequins. I don’t use so much though. I should use them more as they bring more life to cards:-) Thanks for the chance.
