Stampin’ Up! Christmas Card Idea #12- Glitter-Y Snow!

Posted on October 31, 2008October 30, 2008 by Josee

I wish you could see this card in real life….it is so pretty and simple. All the snowflakes are covered in glitter and it really does look magical. I hate that the photo doesn’t do it justice. The other thing I LOVE about this card is how inexpensive it is to make! You could make 48 cards for only $1.52 each!!!

Tutorial: Faux Metal

Posted on October 29, 2008October 29, 2008 by Josee

Did you see what it looks like outside? Ok, I know not all of you live nearby BUT ugggghhh….I hate snow! lol We had about 20cm (8 in) of snow last night…yuck!!! It’s the cold and wet kind of snow too! You should have seen all the last minute parents shopping for boots for kids last night at Walmart…yes, I was one of them! So much for planning ahead.

Here’s a hilarious photo I found online from last year’s record snow falls. I know we’re not quite there yet, but, I heard we are getting alot of snow again this year!!! 🙁 Ok, I know there are some good parts to winter…but, remind me….what are they again? lol

Alright…time for some stamping fun! This card is the second project we made at Stamp Club last week. We made a card using the Faux Metal Technique.

Fresh Cuts Stamp Set

Cardstock in Basic Gray, Whisper White, Baja Breeze and Brushed Silver

Basic Gray Classic Stamp Pad

Baja Breeze Classic Stamp Pad

1 inch Circle Punch

Silver Embossing Powder

Heat Tool

White Gel Pen

Step 1: Using the versamark ink pad, apply the ink directly to the brushed silver cardstock. Make sure you press firmly and cover your area well.

Step 2: Pour silver embossing powder directly onto the cardstock. Tap off excess.

Step 3: Heat the embossing powder with the heat tool until the powder turns into a shimmery silver. Once it cools down repeat step 1 & 2 two more times.

Step 4: Ink up your stamp with versamark and set aside. After covering and heating your with your third layer, quickly stamp the versamark inked flower into the hot embossed cardstock. Press down, wiggle and pull up.

Voila! You have yourself a beautiful faux metal layer!

Hope you have a great stamping day!
