Paper Pleasing Ideas

Crystal Effects Laughter

 

So, this is the card I was telling you about HERE.  I used one of the stencils from the new Mini Catalog (starts Sept. 1) called Vintage Frames (#120910).  This is a 5 X 5 card, so it gives you an idea of the size of that framed flourish.

The punch is also from the mini called Decorative Label (#120907) and it perfectly fits the sentiment from Word Play (#120651 clear ; #120308 wood).  This new sentiment set is one of my FAVORITES in the big catty.  You may be seeing a lot with that!  The ribbon is the daffodil taffeta and the glitter brads (4 collections) are new in the mini, just in time for Christmas.  The colors I used are peach parfait (In Color), wild wasabi and daffodil delight.  The DSP is Sunny Garden.  The tutorial is at the above link AND a link for you to show is your creations.  Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!

 

Make Your Own ...

GLOSSY CARD STOCK !!

Yes you can, I figured it out yesterday.  I am so pumped about it, as you can tell ... hehehe.  I got my first stencil from the new Stampin' Up! mini catalog, and wanted to try something different.  EVERYONE can sponge down color, (and they all make it look fantastic), but I wanted to be unique.  So, here is what I did with a picture tutorial.

 

I laid down the stencil on top of my 12 X 12 CS.  I proceeded to fill up the holes with Crystal Effects.  You have to WORK FAST, since it will dry to your CS and you can rip your paper.  Take it off immediately, pop all the bubbles and let it dry (overnight is best).

 

You can see some spots where it flooded over, but that was because I did not have it on a flat surface.  Who cares, though, look how awesome that is!  Think of all the things you can stencil with your Crystal Effects(#101055), and the way it adds texture without overwhelming the CS.  Now if this page was finished it would be even better, but I am working on a card to show you!  If you try this, make sure to link below and show everyone what you came up with.  Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
