Hi friends! I hope you are well and had a good weekend. Today I have a notebook to share with lots of mess-free glitter and shine.

My youngest has started in the big school and is a little worried that he will struggle to learn to write, so I made him an alphabet notebook so that he can practice writing, or drawing, if he would rather want that.

Start by cutting two covers from Sizzix Little Sizzles Matboard. Cut a piece of watercolor paper to the same size and then die cut the Simon Says Stamp Archie Jr. Solid set. Keep the little pieces.

Glue the paper to a cover with matte medium and also glue the inner pieces from 'a', 'e' and so on.

Paint with three shades of blue/turquoise Distress Inks, in an ombre fashion.

Round the outer corners. Apply Ranger's Moon Dust Stickles with a palette knife, pressing the glitter into the letters, while removing most of the glitter around the letters. I left quite a bit of glitter at the bottom of the cover.

Cut papers for the inside, round the outer corners and punch holes with a Crop-a-dile. I wanted to use lined paper, but I couldn't find it. It is probably still in a box after the move. Once I find the lined paper, I will add it to the notebook.

The glittery letters look pretty nice.

I die cut Simon Says Stamp Clipping Hearts from Aqua Holographic paper, to add even more shine.

The Simon Says Stamp You Shine title was die cut from holographic paper and Sea Glass Simon Says Stamp cardstock. I also added a piece of alphabet Label Tape.

The holographic paper looks different from different angles. The boys love it.

The back cover was covered with a piece of holographic paper too.

It is hard to photograph, but here you can get a hint of all the shades visible in the paper.

  2. What a pretty page! I love the turquoise with all the pretty glitter. This is so sweet and thoughtful to make your little fellow a special notebook to practice his letters and art. I have a feeling it will become a keepsake to be tucked away long after he learns to read and write. <3
    Thank you so much for sharing your lovely work!
