Greenhouse Spritz & Shimmer

I had made this card a while back… thought I had posted it (during the 2-Step into Spring Promotion…) and alas, I have not! Whoops! So here it is, a card showcasing the "Greenhouse Garden" stamp set – which you can of course sill order!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• To achieve this shimmery watercolored look on the flowers, you're going to mix up ahead of time some Rubbing Alcohol and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in a Sprtiz Bottle. Then, ink up your bold, colored, base image (So Saffron, Rose Red and Bashful Blue shown here) and BEFORE stamping the image on your cardstock, give the rubber and ink a direct sprtiz with our Shimmer Mist. This will add shimmer and blend your ink!
• The spritz look to the left of the main image was done with a Color Spritzer Tool and a Rose Red Stampin' Write Marker – sprtizing all the way through (a theme I seem to have going on these days!)
• Paper Piercing is made easing with the Stampin' Up! Mat Pack and Paper Piercing Tool, as shown along the thin strip of Sahara Sand Cardstock.
• Using the Corner Rounder on cardstock adds a look of subtle softness to any project!

Did you notice that I used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint that was in the Holiday Mini Catalog? Did you know that it's still available for purchase!? That's right! The Shimmer Paints and several other products from both the Holiday Mini and Occasions Mini Catalog are being carried over! To help you keep track of what you can still order, I've posted a PDF link to a printable brochure. Here's a look at the brochure…

U Pick 2: Regal Bella

The 4th Card for my U Pick 2 Menu was pretty close to copied for a SWAP I saw at Convention. I didn't SWAP myself at Convention this year to see the label on the back and give proper credit, I had just taken a picture. The only things I changed were the punch and the background technique. The punch that you see here is the one that you can get for FREE During Sale-A-Bration! And, this stamp set, "Three Little Words" is a stamp set that you can take for FREE During Sale-A-Bration!

Because this is a U Pick 2 offering, you won't find Aly's Helpful Hints here. BUT, you'll get LOTS of Helpful Hints AND get to make the card yourself when you coordinate a U Pick 2 Private Stamping Class of your own! Click Here for more details. This particular U Pick 2 is one you won't want to miss! We'll be doing a very fun background technique with Rubbing Alcohol and Shimmer Paint!

Dasher Gone Shimmery

I just adored this cute little Dasher on the "Under $10" page of the catalog, and had to add him to my collection! Isn't he darling!? Purchase this stamp individually today for just $8.95.
