Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border. Then this last one I've gone round the edges again with the darker Pool Party blend, but then blended in the lighter one in all the gaps. I actually did g...

Something Saturday - Using Stampin' Up!'s New Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper

 Hi there Creators

Today I have BLING 😍 in the form of the new Online Exclusive Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper (check it out through the link) It comes in Gold and Silver - one sheet of each (12x12") in the pack, and Oh my goodness, you're going to want some!  As a demo I got to order it early (having said that I was away in England when it arrived, so haven't been able to play till now)

BUT guess what?  This month (October) Stampin' Up! have an amazing Joining special, so you too could pick up goodies before they're available to general public (and much more).  Check the deal out here:  Join My Team.

Anyway on with the bling, Oh I mean blog.....

Here are the cards I create from the pieces I make in the video 

Here is the first one that I'd created before the video

Stampin' Up!', Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper, Handcrafted elements dies


I use the Handcrafted Elements Dies, Joy to You stamp set and the beautiful Silver & White Sheer ribbon, as well as the amazing new glimmer paper!  in the video I show how I take the middle out (relatively easily) so I can make 2 cards out of the one cut. (not quite so easy to describe!)

The other one's I made up into smaller 1/2 sized Thank you cards, as it's sometimes really handy to have a small card to add into a package (when Tom sells something on facebook and it's being mailed out I like to add a little thanks, but I always feel like a proper sized card is a bit of an overkill 🤨)  The first 2 have the leaves up, which is what I felt was the right way up.

until I tried the leaves the other way up and now I'm not sure which way is right🤣 I kind of like them coming down
