Shimmer Spray

This is another card that I received in the swap I did.  It was made by Lyssa Zwolanek.

She sprayed the entire card front with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed with rubbing alcohol to add shine.  I love it!

Christmas Card Ideas

I participated in a card swap a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share some of those ideas with you.  Here are 10 Christmas Card ideas... it's not too late to get started!

by Barb Bergeman  You can't really see it in the photo, but the entire card front was sprayed with Frost White Shimmer Paint and has a beautiful shine to it.

by Sue Coomber  Another card with shine!  This one was made on Shimmery White card stock and embossed with Iridescent Ice emboss powder.

by Sara Lundberg  The Movers & Shapers die for the Big Shot coordinates perfectly with the Curly Label punch!

by Patti Folk  The Holiday Lounge designer series paper is my favorite!

by Mary McCarthy  Gotta love that Ornament Punch!

I'm not sure who made this card, so if it was you, let me know so that I can give you credit!  Love the glitter on the Snowflake Sizzlets made with the Big Shot.

 
Another one that I'm not sure who made it!  This Snowflake was also made with the Big Shot and covered in Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

by ??? Ho, Ho, Ho... this Santa's beard was made with the Scallop Circle die and the Big Shot.  Fold it in half and you have a beard and a fold up card to write in.

by Sharon Miller  LOVE the background textured with the Petals-A-Plenty Impressions Folder.

Another unmarked, yet sparkly card.  This one shines with Brushed Silver card stock and Iridescent Ice emboss powder.

Tip for putting adhesive on small pieces of card stock

The next time you use up a sheet of dimensionals, save the empty dimensional sheet.  When you are putting SNAIL adhesive on a skinny piece of card stock, put the glossy side of the dimensional sheet underneath.  No extra adhesive on your table or grid paper!

This is just ONE of the many tips that I heard at the Stampin' Up! demonstrator meeting that I attended last weekend.  If you've thought of starting your own rubber stamping and scrapbooking business, but haven't because you are worried about having enough project ideas or your lack of stamping experience... don't worry! 

Stampin' Up! provides a monthly magazine full of great stamping tips and ideas, as well as a demonstrator only website with more ideas than you'll ever have time for.  Plus demonstrators love to get together and share their stamping.

So put your worries aside and contact me for more information about becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  You'll be glad you did!

Stained Glass Card

Here's the final card that Noel designed for our Holiday Extravaganza event.  Gorgeous!

Stamps: A Cardinal Christmas stamp set

Ink: Basic Black Craft Pad, Old Olive Classic Pad; Real Red, Old Olive, Close to Cocoa and Summer Sun markers

Paper: Vellum; Whisper White, Real Red and Old Olive card stock

Accessories: Big Shot, Oval Scallop Frame die, Clear emboss powder, heat tool

Stained Glass Technique:

Stamp your outline image in Basic Black Craft ink, add clear embossing powder and heat.  We found that it was best to stamp off the image once before stamping on the vellum so that the details of the bird weren't smudged out.   Turn the paper over and use markers to color the image from the back.

The oval frame was cut out using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine.  If you don't have one yet, wouldn't that make a great Christmas present for you! 

Online Ordering makes it even easier for your loved ones to order the Stampin' Up! items on your wish list.  They will be so thankful that you made their shopping easier when you email them the link (http://jessicataylor.stampinup.net) and your list... and you'll be happy when you have something you really want under the tree!
