Tri-Colored Stampin'Up! Glimmer Paper

June 25, 2019

Today we'll be creating with Tri-Colored Stampin'Up! Glimmer Paper! Did you know Glimmer paper came in triple-colors?  Well, it doesn't, but we can create that ourselves---and the best part is that we can create it in whatever colors match our project! It doesn't get any better than that.

Now take a look a this tree silhouette... Tree silhoutte card

Isn't that amazing?  The Granny Apple Green merges into Pumpkin pie which merges into Crushed Curry...what an array of colors and what a spectacular focal point for the card. With that image you really don't need much else except a greeting which is exactly what I did.

The coloring is performed with the Stampin'Up! Classic ink pads and the sponge daubers. Because of the rough surface of the Sparkle glimmer paper the best technique is to bounce (or pounce) the color on instead of rubbing the dauber on the paper.  I find that if I hold the dauber on the ink pad for a count of 5--that's enough time for ink to absorb onto the sponge. Then I deposit the ink in a straight down motion (not rubbing). I keep up this process until I have the depth of color I want. Remember that when the ink dries on the paper it lightens a little bit--so go for darker and as it dries it becomes a bit lighter.

Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper

June 18, 2019

Today we'll create a card using Perennial Esssence Designer Series Paper that looks like a million dollar card! 6-18-19 Blog Perennial Essence DSP card

Isn't that gorgeous...and it only takes a couple of minutes to create this beauty because the designer paper does all that hard work for us. This paper is designed from a painting that has been transformed into this gloriously rich set of papers...each of the six designs is a stand-alone piece. In class this past weekend the ladies thought it was reminiscent of Monet's work.

I have to say that it was very difficult for me to make that first cut--once I accomplished the first cut and saw how awesome it looked on the actual card I was ok with the cutting. So I completely understand the angst of that first cut! (My recommendation is to purchase 2 packs---one to "keep" so I'll always have it and the other one to actually use.) Some day I might be able to cut into that first pack but today I just need to know I own it. (If you are not a conn0isseur of Designer Paper you will most likely not understand how I feel about "ownership"--LOL)

I will give you the step by step  directions for creating this lovely simple card and they I'll provide the supply list.  Hit the Shop Now button or click on one of the product images and you'll be in my store--order your supplies now and you can create this  card yourself.

Remember, when you place an online order if you use this month's Host Code (9EAGCTMM) you'll receive $5 in Stampin'Up! product from me for each $50 in product that you purchase.

1. Cut Blushing Bride cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score the long side at 4 1/4 (card base)

2. Cut Shimmery White cardstock 5 1/8 X 3 7/8, adhere to card base front with liquid glue.

3. Cut Perennial Essence designer paper (pick your favorite pattern) 3 3/4 X 5; adhere to card front with liquid glue.

4. Using Wink of Stella, highlight the brushstrokes on a few of the flowers (you can't see this in the picture)---this will bring those flowers to life.

A Great Storage Solution for Stampin'Up! Ink Refills

June 14, 2019

Today we're going to look at A Great Storage Solution for Stampin'Up! Ink Refills! Last week we discussed some great solutions for embellishment storage which prompted one of Sandi's stampers to share with us how she stores her Stampin'Up! Classic Ink Refill bottles.. Angie Gittles is the author of this solution...here's a picture of how she does it.... Half case for ink refills blog

As you can see she's using the Half Wide Stampin'Up! stamp cases...five refill bottles will fit in one case...good news is that these half-wide stamp cases will fit wonderfully in the new Stampin'Up! storage open cubes. Storage cases
(The unfortunate news is that the cubes are currently not orderable until we get a new supply--they are super popular). But never fear...you can order the half-wide cases now, get them ready to go and enjoy the organization of your refill bottles right now.

Angie, has done a wonderful job in preparing printed labels for her cases...I would probably be in too much of a hurry to do that neat job so I'd just have to settle for hand written labels..I really wish I had that much patience....maybe one day when I get organized! LOL Thanks very much to Angie for sharing her awesome solution with us today!

If you have a storage solution that you'd like to share--please email a picture of it, explain any pros and cons of using it and we'll share it with our fellow stamps--one day all of our stamp areas will be completely organized!!!

Below is the product code for the supply items...note--if you want to keep an entire family of refills in one case you will need to order the Full Wide stamp cases--you can place ten refill bottles in one Full wide case. These will not fit in the storage open cubes but they do stack very nicely along side storage units and are quite handy to grab sitting next to your work area.

Order your supplies today...click on the Shop Now button and you'll be in my store or click on one of the product images below and order yours now.

Remember, if you place an online order using this month's host code (9EAGCYMM) you'll receive $5 in Stampin'Up! products for each $50 in product that you purchase.
