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…

A Star is Born!

This card is WAY behind in posting… it was the Congratulations Card I made for my Top 10 Sales Achievers for the month of March! In my defense, they did just get distributed at the April Retreat Weekend (we didn't have a First Thursday Team Time due to the Retreat Weekend) and then I was on vacation… I know, excuses, excuses! Here it is!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• For the chipboard star on this card, I ran a piece of So Saffron Cardstock through the Big Shot Machine with the Polka Dot Impressions Folder prior to adhering it to the chipboard for a little extra "texture!"
• In need of a different way to tie ribbon around a card? Sick of the same old same old? Try this! Use the Horizontal Slot Punch to punch into the card, and then string your ribbon around through that instead of the other edge of the card – a new look in an easy step!
• The blue used here, "Bermuda Bay" will be retiring and gone forever on June 30th!!! Order it while you still can!
• The sentiment "A Star is Born!" came from the Level 1 Exclusive Stamp Set "Picture This" in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Stay tuned, I'll have it for sale on July 1st!
