Graceful Glass Vellum Stained Glass card ideas
June 02, 2018
Have you fallen in love with the Graceful Glass Suite of Stampin' UP! products on pages 164 / 165 in your new catalog!? I have! I really enjoyed coloring this Graceful Glass vellum with the Stampin' Blends markers!
You may remember I asked you to Vote on Facebook and Instagram for your favorite color combo (shown below). I colored the back side of the Graceful Glass Vellum with Stampin' Blends markers. After I posted the 4 colored options, I cut the 6x6 vellum piece into 1/4ths and made them into the 4 cards above! I am pretty sure that #4 was the overall favorite, and I'm wondering now that you have seen the 4 cards I made with them, is that still the fave?
You'll find this amazing pre-printed vellum on page 165 and also on page 188.
The beautiful Painted Glass stamp set and the Stained Glass thinlits may be purchased together as a 10% off money-saving bundle!!!

Oh so pretty, no picking a fav they are all beautiful. Thanks for tip on gluing the vellum. I have used the sponge and spread a thin layer of liquid glue on the back side of the vellum before adhering, but this way sounds to be easier.
Have a joyful week-end.

Wow! I love each one of these cards. I could never pick a favorite. I plan on using these in one of my upcoming classes. Great tip on putting the glue on the back of the vellum!

Patti, just watched your new emboss/die cutting pads from SU. Laminate the instructions and tape it onto the one side of the hard, white plate....that way you can see it every time you use it! Just a thought.

Question. Would this gluing method with Vellum work on glass and still show no lines? Thanks!! Great cards. I like #4 :)
