Something Saturday - Light The Sky

Hi there Creators

Hands up if you love fireworks!  I love the beauty of them, the colours lighting up the night sky, so when this set "Light the Sky" came out in the mini catalogue, I knew I'd end up buying it.  Have to say it has not disappointed me 😍

I forgot to mention in the video, that there is still a joining offer for Stampin' Up! this month, if you are interested in finding out more about joining Stampin' Up! and my CreateAbles Team, do ask me, or check out the details here: Join Stampin' Up!

Today I had pre-created these 2 cards, and whilst making the second one, that uses blending brushes and inks to create the graduated ombre-type background, I noticed that I was creating a pretty cool pattern on the scrap paper underneath, hence in the video I make the last card using the dies to create masks to use.

Card 1:  I've heat embossed the stamped images with gold embossing powder, then added the Gold foil cardstock underneath, so it shines through and added a couple of Adhesive backed Star trinkets to the middle of the die cut fireworks

Card 2 uses the fabulous adhesive backed glimmer paper and I've used my blending brushes to graduate the colour going down the card

and this last card is the one I create in the video having cut a couple of the dies out from scrap cardstock, I then used them as masks to brush colour through to create this effect.  Then of course - gotta have bling... this time the Pastel Adhesive Backed sequins.

 If you missed the video, here it is!

I hope this inspires you to create, and do click on the links above if you want to check out the products I've used.

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

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
 

What do you think?

Anyway here is the video if you missed it:

I hope this inspires you to buy some and try it out for yourself!

God bless love
