F4A210...Gaga over Sequins (2/28/2014)
 

In college (over 20 years ago), I borrowed a short, green dress ...completely sequined, for a fraternity formal. It was such a fun dress! Oh my! What a dress! I can't stop smiling just thinking about that dress.

Apparently, even Lady Gaga is gaga over sequins.

�And now, I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time. �
― Lady Gaga

Now that sequins are all the rage, let's see what you can do to bedazzle, snazz up, or bling out your card today...using SEQUINS!

No trouble here....I'm gaga about sequins and have been for several months. Love the sparkle they add without bulk and come in such a pretty range of colors and finishes. Fun challenge, Dawn. Thanks.

While I have a busy day ahead, I had to make a card for this fun bling challenge!!

How sweet it is....

Thanks for a fun challenge Dawn!!

Are sequins "hot" right now? I didn't know! Guess I need to run to a craft store today......

I guess I won't be able to do the challenge today, I don't have any sequins. Have fun ladies.

I had bought some sequins for a VSN or HYCCT challenge a year or so ago, so I was prepared for this challenge. Here's my card:

Three Flowers Plus Sequins

F4A210 Yellow Bird
 

Dawn- great challenge! I used a light green card, with a dc foam tree, decorated with sequins, adhesive gems and glitter that I made years ago. Added an elephant and bird. Finished with a green sparkly ribbon border and 3 buttons. Here's F4A210 Yellow Bird

How about substitutions?
 

You could use glittery ribbon, markers,adhesive gems or beads- that would meet the Sparkly Factor :)

What a fun challenge with so much latitude! Thanks Dawn. I just uploaded mine:

MIX57 FA210 Inlaid Blossoms

I love using sequins! Here is my Happy Birthday card.

The way I read it the challenge requires sequins....I went out and bought some. Now to figure out what to do with them.....

Here's my "better late than never" card for this challenge

Lynn's Fast and Fabulous F4A210...Gaga over Sequins by muzbysmom - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I'd never worked with sequins before nor did I have any. I did run and buy some last Friday but it took until today to realize I had a card I could case for this challenge.....

I sure hope you don't mind if I ask a question?

For those of you who purchase sequins...Which brand and from where do you prefer.

I have some from the Local Big box. I believe they are Darice. These look a bit "OLD" to me.

Some of the newer ones seem more translucent and iridescent.

I am a big Doodlebug fan and I was excited to see that they release 12 sequin collections. I purchased them and I must say that I was very disappointed. When I received them, they looked like they were half filled with glitter. Upon further inspection, it was not glitter but a MILLION of the innies from the hole in the middle. I sorted through each and every jar to "clean them up."

As I was sorting them, I noticed that the metallic one looked "tarnished" and dull. Most of the color looked "scraped" off and they just did not look pretty.

Maybe my particular set was scraped from the bottom of a batch but I was not happy.

I was looking at all the beautiful color on Simon Says Stamp, and I would appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance,
Valerie

I am always last on a bandwagon, but then I remembered I have these sequins that I brought over on the Mayflower... little different from the norm, but fun. Pretty Bird

Here is my card for this challenge:

Delightful Thanks

I used sequins under the sentiment. Thanks for Looking!
