YOU HAVE TO TRY THE NEW ICE STAMPIN’ GLITTER

Oct 31, 2019

When the 2019 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog was released in September, I fell in love with the frosted snowflakes pictured in the Feels Like Frost Suite on pages 40-42. The beautiful snowflakes were created by placing a light layer of the Shimmery Crystal Effects on your cardstock or image, sprinkling some Ice Stampin’ Glitter over the crystal effects, and then letting it dry. In the card below, I used this same technique on my pine tree and am so happy with the results!

In this close-up, you can really see how the tree looks like it has glistening frost on it. It was such an easy technique for achieving the wow factor.

When you use very little of the Shimmery Crystal Effects, as I did in this project, you don’t have nearly the drying time you would if you were completely covering the image, as I did in the last post. It takes just a few minutes to dry vs. several hours. You can find all the measurements needed to create this project HERE.

If you want to learn how to make cards like these, join me at my home for my monthly card classes. The classes are held on the 2nd Thursday of the month. Each class, you will receive the supplies (not the stamp set/bundle or ink) to make four cards with envelopes, two each of 2 designs exclusive to my class only, featuring an incredible bundle or stamp set. You will leave the class with instructions on making six different cards for only $20.00

Space is limited, so rsvp for my class today.

Hope to see you in my next class!

Happy Stamping!

THE NEW PAPER TRIMMER IS ALMOST HERE!

Oct 30, 2019

You can order your new paper trimmers starting November 1st! I have had my trimmer for about 3 weeks and I love it!!!! It is so light weight and makes the smoothest cuts. If you are wondering if the new one is worth buying since you have the last paper cutter, I would say yes. The old trimmer was awkward for my smaller hands and the guide track was always flopping open and don’t forget never remembering which way the track needed to be for scoring. That is all fixed with this new version of paper trimmer.

Watch this cute video from Stampin’ Up!

GOLDEN PIZZA BOXES

Oct 29, 2019

Today, I am sharing the project I designed for my boys’ staff at their day hab. Isn’t it cute? I used the Gold pizza boxes, the Perfectly Plaid Bundle, and Crystal Effects. I love the Shimmery Crystal Effects from the 2019 Holiday Catalog; they add so much dimension to the tree. You can really see the shimmery flakes in the close-up picture.

The DSP layers are 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ & 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″. The belly band is a 1″ x 11″ strip of cardstock. I used the Stitched Nested Label and the 2″ circle embossed with the Pinewood Plank embossing folder to finish the belly band.

Don’t you love the Shimmery Chrystal Effects? I do. I was able to put 5 of these projects together in 20, plus the drying time for the crystal effects. A quick tip: while using crystal effects on this project, complete your project thoroughly, then put the crystal effects on your tree and set it aside to dry completely.

Happy Stamping!

 

 

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FIRES

Oct 28, 2019

Here in Northern California we have been impacted by the Kincade fire that started in Geyserville, which is an hour northwest of Napa. While I only have to deal with the inconvenience no power, I have several family members who have been evacuated from their homes due to the potential fire danger.

I would like to ask you all to please pray for all of the first responders that are risking thier lives to save homes and communities from this distructive fire.

Thank you!
