Today I learned that blogger only lets you upload five photos and I had six cards to share, so I paired them up to take pictures. I have talked about the glitter window technique and wondered how it would look with the little tiny treats stamps from Papertrey Ink. There also was a discussion on the boards about glitter explosions (I have a friend who has to avoid those) and I thought about a way to make a glitter card, glitter free. What I dod for these was stamp the images on acetate then punch them out using a 1 3/8" circle punch. After I stamped the surrounding frame I punched a 1 1/4" circle in the center of the cardstock, then glued my glittered image, glitter side down into the hole. Then I glued a white circle of cardstock behind the glittered circle so the image would be framed in white and also, it captures the glitter because the entire thing is glued inside . . . if that makes sense. I had fun pairing up papers and embellishments with these. Thanks for looking.
Stamps: PTI Tiny Treats, Polka Dots or Hearts backgrounds

Cute cards! Love how you have paired the different pattern papers together to make it all blend.
Adorable cards! I love the acetate and the window.
These are absolutely adorable! I love how you made a whole set with the same design but they are still so different. I hope your "friend" likes this technique of using glitter.
BTW, to get more than 5 pics on blogger, once you upload your 5, you can go back into the picture upload gizmo & upload up to 5 more at a time. I'm pretty sure I learned that accidentally! LOL!
What fun--love all your color combos! Thanks for the hint on how you handled the glitter.
Very cute! I love the wavy paper & fish paper in the first two - where is it from?
What a great way to corral glitter and make less of a mess. These are super cute. There have been so many glitter cards these past few days showing up on blogs. I think it's a conspiracy to get me to try it. ;)
These are just wonderful! Such fun designs and colors, and I love how you did the little round "window", I never think to do windows on any of my cards but I must try it one of these days!
What a clever way to "contain" the glitter! I'll have to give that a try. Your entire card set is sooo cute!
I love the little circle windows! Great idea.
Really really adorable, Peggysue! I love those...what fun cards! Great job!
Really really beautiful cards..clean and bright, I loved the lemony one the most..:)
Oh my word, these are CA-UTE!! Love the fun colors! :)
Too cute!! I was going to give you advice on the pics, but see that Lori already did :) There's always a way around it!
Adorable! :) LOVE LOVE LOVE the little window!
Peggysue these are soooo CUTE!! I need to ink up my set! :) Thanks for the inspiration!!!

What a great way to keep that glitter contained! Love the pattern combinations, especially the dots and checks. I love gingham!
I am enjoying all the Valentine's. Very cute idea and cards.
These are amazing! Each one is like a mini window box or framed piece of art! I love all of your colours - and the patterned papers - absolutely gorgeous!
Awww...what fun colors, borders, and little bitty images...I love the bright and happy feel to these. Knowing of the glitter situation, I am glad you have come up with a solution...it is a great discovery! Cute valentines, Peggysue!

Ok, it is official: in my book, you are the glitter queen! You do such wonderful projects with it!!
This is a great technique. When I've sent glittered cards, I always wonder if they still have any glitter by the time they get to the recipient. :) My favorite is the lemon. That looks so neat glittered.
Pretty!
Finally getting a chance to stop by and visit you.
They are all very cute! I especially like the bright colors and the glitter windows. Next time you want to put more than 5 photos on your blog try making a collage in Picknic it is a lot easier. I also wanted to say so glad to be a part of the Papertrey Peeps group with you.
PS, your supercute card set blew me away! Each one is absolutely precious and look at all the pretty color scheme and each one is embellihed in their own darlin' way! Just too cute!
lOvE iT!!! It looks like Mari Gras at your paper place!!!! Such cute cards! TFS!
Great idea. Your cards are very cute!
smart way to keep control of the glitter. Wonderful cards.
Those cards are all so beautiful! What a great way to 'hide' the glitter explosions!!
