Beveled Windowpane

Color you Windowpane.


Thank you to Kelly Acheson for this great technique.  The more I use the NEW Beveled Window Panes (by the way you can find them in the Occasion's Mini Catalog) the more I find what I can do with them.  LOVE THEM!!

I used this technique in coloring and stamping on the back of the Window Pane in my last month's Technique Thursday Club.  If you would like to find out more about my Technique Club check it out RIGHT HERE.  I would love to have you join us for all the stamping fun.  Make sure that you check back here for more ideas that you can also do with the Beveled Window Panes.

In this card I used the new "Framed Tulips Impressions Folder" for the lovely dry embossed frame around the card.  You use the Impressions folder with the Big Shot.  The stamp set that I used on the card is called "Thanks for Caring". This folder and stamp set can also be found in the Occasion's Mini Catalog.  If you haven't check out the Mini yet...you really have too!!  There are so many NEW products and stamp sets that you are going to be in awwwwww over.

Remember to check back soon for more projects with the Beveled Window Panes.

Letter Press Plate

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

LOVE

This card was done at a Technique Thursday Club that I hold once a month.  If you would like to learn more about the club and join in the fun just check it out here.

For this card I used the new Letter Press Plate called "Lots of Love".  You can find this plate in the Occasion's Mini Catalog now.  You will also use the Big Shot with the plate.  What I really like about the plates are you can do so many different things with them.  Just color one word like I have done above and the rest of the words will be dry embossed.  Color all the words or just run it through the Big Shot without any color for just the dry embossed look.

I also used a new stamp set called "XOXO" how cute is that!!  You can find this set in the Occasion's Mini catalog as well.  And of course I added the Bling...these wonderful gems are Jewel Basic Rhinestones, which you can find these in the Idea Book & Catalog.  Oh...I almost forgot to mention the best part of the card...the NEW Glimmer Paper in Real Red.  You can find this great paper in the Occasion's Mini.  I am hoping the Stampin' Up! will come out with more colors.  I just love this paper.




Happy Stamping!

Color My World SSC# 034

These are GREAT colors together, don't you think?

Love, Love the flower!!

For the greeting "Valentine Greetings", it is from the set called "Grateful Greeting".  I stamped with Versamark and then embossed with White embossing powder.  To get the little hearts border, it is with the border punch Pinking Hearts.  And the FLOWER is made with Real Red Satin Ribbon.  You will have to come back to see how this is done.  I am using this for my Technique Club next month.  I can't wait they are going to love it!

If you would like to join us,  YOU CAN!  Just leave a comment with your link so everyone can check out your project. 




HAPPY STAMPING!

Music Mania Challenge SSC#033

LOVE IT!!  The Bling is GREAT!!

In this challenge we are to take the above musical and create a card from it.  This was an easy one!  Of course I had to do the Bright - Red - Shinny theme.  LOL

Stampin' Up!'s NEW Glimmer Paper!

For my creation I used the NEW Designer Series Paper "Love Impressions" for the "I" and the "U".  If you haven't seen this DSP you really have to check it out! It is in the new Occasion's Mini Catalog.  The Heart is punched out of the NEW Glimmer Paper with a Whisper White Heart behind it.  This paper is GREAT!!  All about the Bling!  The background is Real Red Card stock which I ran through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder.  The small little tags are stamped from the set called "Tiny Tags" and then punched out with the Tag punch.

If you would like to join in on the fun of the Thursday challenges you can.  Just send me an email at:  jntcrlsn@yahoo.com and I will get you all the information.  If you have a blog I can link to yours or if you don't I will post your card right here.  Come on...join in the stamping fun!
