Just Add a Llitlte Glimmer

I added just a little "Glimmer" to some of my cards today.

I had some scraps of Red, Champagne and Silver Glimmer paper on my desk, after looking at them I didn't want to throw them away. I realized that some of my already made Christmas cards would be suitable to add a star here, a heart there or a couple of strips to frame the main focus of my card. So, this is what I came up with.

What you will need to make these cards...I used a variety of different stamp set, card stock, designer series paper and Glimmer Paper.

Products I used:

Whisper White, Old Olive, Cherry Clobber, Very Vanilla card stock

Ink: Cherry Clobber, Old Olive and Tangerine Tango

DesignerSeries Paper: Festival of Prints and Be of Good Cheer 

Stamp Sets: Bells & Boughs, Frosty Friends, Heart of Christmas and Scentsational Season

Framelits Dies: Holiday Collection and Holiday Ornaments   

Punches: Merry Minis

Rhinestone Basic Jewels

SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals

Red, Sliver and Champagne Glimmer Paper  

Silver Cording: Retired from Stampin' Up! 

If you have any other ideas on how to use up small scraps of Glimmer paper, leave me a comment.

Happy Stampin'

  

 

              

Wonderful Winterland

Today I have four Christmas cards using the Wonderful Winterland stamp set. This year we had two additions to our family. A great niece and a great nephew. Two of these cards are for them.

This card I embossed first and then stamped the image to give it a snowy look

Aren't these just too cute? I can remember making snow angels in the snow many years ago...can you?

Making these cards was so much fun! If you have little ones to send cards to this year, this set is perfect!

************************************************ 

I had a fun work shop at my home on Saturday night. All but one participant was new to stamping. We had a blast making cards and I made five new friends that night. Andrew and Brook are 11 years old and they blew my mind on how artistic they are. After we finished our cards Andrew and Brook made some Christmas tags using their imagination and newly learned stamping talent. I was so impressed.

Care #1

 Everyone loved seeing how the embossing changes from a dull color to a beautiful shinny one. The Dazzling Diamonds Glitter was a big hit too.

Card #2

I wanted a little sparkle so we used Rhinestone Jewels to set off the card. I had questions on how I made the different shapes so I pulled out my Big Shot. I remember how amazed I was the first time I saw how easy and fast cutting out unique shapes was using the Big Shot. It's so much fun showing how the Framelite just pops out of the card stock.

 The evening took me back to my first days stamping and how excited I was to be able to make a card myself. Up until my first Stampin' Up! work shop I attended stamping was a mystery to me. It still is so much fun to see a finished card or project and know that I did it. My attendees went home feeling the same way.

Ornament Keepsakes Christmas Cards

I'm so excited about the cards I'm showing you today. Not only did I used the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set, I cut the images out using the Big Shot and the Holiday Ornaments Framelites Dies. I bought them together as the Ornament Keepsake Bundle from the Holiday Catalog and saved 15%. You can have them for the same price. This bundle makes card making easy peasy!

I love the look of these cards!  For a change, I wanted a soft look and not the traditional Christmas colors.

These are just three of the 9 stamps that come in the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set.

The beautiful embossed oval was made using our new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Holiday Frame. I think it's stunning don't you? If you have a lot of Christmas cards to make this year, the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle will make short work of your cards. The look is so elegant, making them is so easy and fun! There are many other combinations you could use. For some of your cards don't use the folder and stamp and cut out the ornaments and adhere them on your card. Again, easy peasy! I have other cards that will show you many other ideas using this bundle.

Non Stampin' Up Product

I used a Sharpie Marker to color the rhinestones pink before adhering them to my card.

In the weeks to come I have all kinds of projects to share with you. Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Again this year I'm having the 12 days of Christmas with a new project or card each week. I will keep you updated on when this will begin.  It will be earlier enough for you to use my ideas for your holiday planning.

Right now I'm working on a Halloween Birthday Party for October 27th. I will be sharing with you my projects.

I'm working on tree decoration using the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle and the beautiful Scalloped Tulle. I hope you will come back and see what I'm up to.

Happy Stampin'
