How to Make an Epic Peacock for a Stunning Card

Gorgeous paper and punches, fine tip glue, and a dusting of glitter is how to make an epic peacock for a stunning card! For this card I used Double Sided paper for the card base, Sparkle paper to layer on top, and Punch #904 for the corners.

 Just Imagine Crafts has these and other Kreaxions products.

~ Peacock Glitter Card ~

 

My first step was to  die cut feathers from Kreaxions Ombre Glitter Paper and add purple, green, and blue glitter to them. I used the medium No-Clog Writing Cap from ScraPerfect which fits RANGER, Glossy Accents.

 I drew thin lines along the edges of the feathers and dusted them with glitter.

 I used the same process to add glitter to the peacock image I had

stamped and heat embossed with clear powder on the Sparkle paper I used for the card front.

I switched to the Best Glue Ever from ScraPerfect to add the
 purple and blue Robin's Nest Tear Drops to the image.

 The final step was adhering the peacock to the card base using an adhesive that always sticks and never wrinkles the paper...Best Glue Ever to the rescue...
and adding brads to the decorative corners.

How To Remove Adhesive Using the Best Cleaner Ever

I am delighted to show you how to remove adhesive using the Best Cleaner Ever.

The Robin's Nest and ScraPerfect design teams are participating in a cross promotion, resulting in a wider variety of product in my latest shipment from The Robin's Nest. One of these products is an earth-friendly solvent from ScraPerfect.

The Best Cleaner Ever is non-toxic, non-hazardous, biodegradable, and has no harmful fumes. Too good to be true? I tried it out on a selection of brushes, stiff with adhesive. After placing them on a plastic lid I spritzed them with the Best Cleaner Ever. When I checked them later that day they were good as new, just needed a little soap and water.

This set me onto a path of discovery! 

What could I try this new cleaner on that would prove its worth?
My first thought was those fabulous faux suede
and fur boots I bought last winter...fancy,
 but with an adhesive stain on the right boot.

I have tried a few products to remove the adhesive, 

but they just left a smear and still the adhesive remained.

I spritzed the adhesive stain and let it sit for 15 minutes.

First I wiped the stain with a clean dry cloth, the adhesive came away instantly. Then I wiped the area down with a wet cloth, the Best Cleaner Ever rinsed off easily.

I left the boots to dry overnight. There is no evidence
of a stain or of the cleaner I used to remove the adhesive!

Not only do I now have perfectly clean boots, 

but I also have many items in mind for my next cleaning spree!!!
