Detailed Deer Christmas card with Woodland Embossing Folder

 I thought you might like to see a Christmas card idea I took to Orlando to swap with other Stampin' UP! demonstrators at our 2018 OnStage event!!

I used the Stampin' Up! Detailed Deer framelit with Copper Foil paper, the Woodland Embossing folder in the background, Glimmer Paper, shimmer paint, and more!

I love the deer die cut from the copper foil paper... it's really the focal point of the card!

You can make these cards!!  All supplies are available in my online store, just click ANY product photo at the bottom of my blog post! Thank you!

 

 

The Woodland Embossing folder from Stampin' UP! creates the perfect background for this card!! The subtle tree trunks in the background were embossed with my Big Shot then I spritzed them with Frost White Shimmer Paint... scroll down a little to see more about that!

The greeting is stamped with Merry Merlot ink from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set on a Stitched Label framelit die cut and decorated with the Frosted & Clear epoxy droplets.

When I make multiple cards, I always cut, embossed, die cut, score and stamp all the layers first, gather all my supplies, then make all the cards.. here are my swap card supplies:

 

 

TIP!  Be sure to use Multipurpose Liquid Glue  when adhering your embossed images to your handmade cards.. it holds the layers together much better than dry adhesives.   I used it also when adhering the glimmer paper "snow" to the embossed image.

To create the Glimmer paper snow, I cut a 3" x 4" pieces of glimmer paper then used my paper snips to cut a wavy line down the middle, and that produced TWO pieces of snowy hills.  :)

 

 

The neighborhood squirrel was watching me from the top of the fence.. I'm sure he thought I'd lost my marbles! :)

If you haven't mixed up some Shimmer Paint with rubbing alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer yet, you are in for a treat!!  You can see more info and watch the video HERE!

I also took a bunch of the cute coffee cup cards to Orlando for swapping.. I'll be blogging those soon!

How to use Shimmer Paint on your Crafting projects

 My very favorite accessory in the Stampin' UP! 2018 Holiday Catalog is the SHIMMER PAINT!

Wow!! What an easy way to add glam, elegance, shimmer and shine to any papercrafting project!!

Find Shimmer Paint on page 38 in the 2018 Holiday catalog or HERE online.

Today I'm sharing several ways to use the shimmer paint as well as reposting my free video tutorial!

 

 First, just a tip about storing your Shimmer Paint.... I like to keep my Shimmer Paint, Sponge Dauber and Spritzer all together in one little zip lock.. it really cuts down on the time spent hunting around on my craft table :)

IDEA #1:  Dip your sponge dauber into the lid of the Shimmer Paint and sponge it onto a stamped image, as I did on the milk can above.  Click here for project details.

 

Idea #2:  Dip your sponge dauber into the lid of the Shimmer Paint and sponge it onto an embossed image, like on the Detailed Leaves die cut above embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder.  I used both Vegas Gold and Copper Shimmer Paint on this die cut leaf.  Details Here.

 

Idea #3:  Mix Shimmer Paint and Rubbing Alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer, shake well and spritz onto die cuts or any paper crafting project.  For "In the Woods" tree card details, Click here.

 

Idea #4:  Dip Sponge Dauber into the lid of the Shimmer paint and lightly brush it across the tips of a paper flower as shown above!  Paper Rosette project details here.

 

Idea #5:  Spritz entire sheets of cardstock with your shimmer paint / rubbing alcohol mixture in your Stampin' Spritzer, let cardstock dry, then use for punching or die cutting images.  Project Details here!

 

Idea #6:  Dip sponge dauber into the lid of the Shimmer Paint and sponge onto doilies, die cuts, punched images, or just sponge the edges of any project!!!  Video tutorial / details here.

 

 

Idea #7:  Dip Sponge Dauber into the lid of Copper Shimmer Paint and change the look of the silver Chicken Wire to Copper!  Project Details here.

 

Idea #8:  Spritz a Sheet of cardstock with Shimmer Paint (Vegas Gold shown here) then emboss it with the Corrugated Embossing folder, and then die cut leaves... wow!!  Project details here.

 

Idea #9:  Color die cut images with Brusho Crystal Colour, then sponge on Shimmer Paint!  Project details here.

Suggested purchase with Shimmer Paint:

• Stampin' Spritzers #126185
• Sponge Daubers #133773

Shimmery, Frosty Floral Cards

 

 

These lovely friendship cards feature the gorgeous Frosted Floral specialty paper from Stampin' Up! which has a gorgeous shimmery coating on one side of each 12x12 sheet, so I decided to shimmer some cardstock and punch out the Sprig Punch leaves to add even more sparkle to my cards!

 You will find this gorgeous Frosted Floral paper HERE online and on pg 37 of your 2018 Holiday catalog, and the coordinating stamp set just above it on pg 37, or HERE online (for clear mount).

 

 

CRAFTING TIP!

Use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in your Stampin' Spritzer then spritz your cardstock. Let dry, then punch out images.. so pretty!!  Haven't tried it yet?  be sure to WATCH MY VIDEO HERE.

 

I love to keep my shimmer paint, a sponge dauber and the matching spritzer together in baggies.  It saves on "search time" in the craft room .. if you know what I mean. :)

Tip Sheet from Patty Bennett

 

I used these Stampin' Up! colors:  Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

Blackberry Bliss

Pear Pizzazz

Mossy Meadow

 

 

ABOVE: can you see the pretty shimmery punched leaf sprigs and the strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock that is also shimmered? ?  I love it!

I have stamped the greeting image from the Southern Serenade set and floral images from the First Frost stamp set and die cut them with the matching Frosted Bouquet framelit dies.  They are available as a bundle at 10% off!! 

Added Design Note:  layer the stitched shape circle framelit onto a pearlized doily.. it gives such a pretty, shimmery scalloped border!

 

Find the Frosted Floral paper HERE online and on pg 37 of your 2018 Holiday catalog.

 

The top fold card base is Pear Pizzazz cardstock, cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and folded in 1/2.  The 2 pieces of Frosted Floral designer paper are 4x4 and 4 x 1-1/2", with a 1/2" wide strip of shimmered Mossy Meadow cardstock in between.

You could easily replace the Mossy Meadow strip with some pretty ribbon, too!

Beautiful Baubles Rainbow Pad Christmas Card idea

 

Looking for a super quick and easy holiday card?  I love to make handmade cards for the Christmas Holidays, but since we send out well over 100 each year, sometimes it needs to be a quick card like this one!  Try out a Spectrum Rainbow pad and the Beautiful Baubles stamp set from Stampin' Up! for a beautiful card with lots of pizzazz!  Find the Beautiful Baubles stamp set on page 10 of your 2018 Holiday catalog, or HERE online.

 

I stamped the ornament image twice using my inked rainbow pad and then mounted it to a Fresh Fig cardstock mat embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder.  For shimmer and shine, I sponged some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint onto the raised portion of the embossed image and then added some Frosted & Clear Epoxy droplets!

 

 

Below are a couple of examples of stamps I was using with my rainbow pad.. you can see more info in my video linked below.

Don't you just love the background!?  It's the Swirls & Curls embossing folder shimmered with some Champagne Mist shimmer paint and a sponge dauber!  I layered the embossed Fresh Fig piece on a Blueberry Bushel folded card, and tied it all up with some ruffled Fresh Fig ribbon!

Pillow Box with Rosette Flowers

 

I was AMAZED at how fun and easy it was to create these paper flower rosettes using the Stampin' UP! Stitched Label framelit dies!!!!  They are cut in a spiral, wrapped around a skewer, secured with hot glue then sponged with some Gold Shimmer Paint!!  SO BEAUTIFUL!

 

My talented stamping friend Cindee showed a group of us how to make these gorgeous rosettes and decorate this Pillow Box!

Below: Tips for making your own paper rosette flowers with the Stitched Label Framelit dies.

 We used 2 shapes of label dies from the framelit set, in Blackberry Bliss, Highland Heather and Mint Macaron cardstock for the rosettes. Per the graphic below, you cut them in a spiral with your paper snips, roll them around a skewer, then hot glue them.  So easy!

 

 

 To add the perfect touch of shimmer and glam to these paper flowers, just use your Sponge Dauber and Gold Shimmer paint and lightly sponge the tips of the flowers.. wow!!  It dries almost instantly and is SO gorgeous!

 

 

 Shimmer Paint available in my online store here.

 

 

ABOVE: After cutting and rolling up all of the rosettes, we hot glued them to a die cut leaf.. but not just a plain leaf... We die cut a Detailed Leaves leaf with Crumb Cake cardstock, then we embossed it with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder, then I sponged on both gold and copper shimmer paint!!!

BELOW:  we added all those layers to the Pillow Box.

 

All 4 of the flower rosettes were added to the large die cut leaf, and we added a couple other die cut leaves from the Detailed Leaves framelit set, plus some Mint Macaron bakers twine tied in a bow.

Thank you Cindee for designing such a gorgeous project!!

Fall Leaf Pillow Box with Shimmer Paint

 

I was making some Halloween Treats, and thought, why not make some Fall Treats to hand out during the months of October and November!? 

 

 

I decorated a Stampin' UP! Pillow Box with a strip of Toil & Trouble designer paper (the pumpkin design), then die cut lots of leaves with the Detailed Leaves thinlit dies.   The Pillow Boxes are super reasonable and perfect for treats. Only $5 for a pack of 10!! click here!  The GREAT thing is... NO die cutting, folding, measuring or adhesive is required for the Pillow Boxes!! yay!

Secret #1 for making these leaves look REALLY AMAZING is some Shimmery Mist.  I mixed Stampin' UP! Bright Copper Shimmer Paint in a Stampin' Spritzer with some rubbing alcohol and sprayed the cardstock.  You can spray it prior to die cutting, or after.. it doesn't matter.

CLICK HERE to see more info about making your shimmer mist spray!

 

 

 The "enjoy" tag was created with the Takeout Treats bundle, pg 50 in the Holiday catalog.

 Secret #2 for make some amazing fall leaf die cuts is... Spray Copper Shimmer mist onto cardstock (I used Crumb Cake), then emboss it with the Corrugated Embossing Folder for amazing texture, then die cut the leaves!!  You can die cut them first, then emboss... either way works!  Or you can even spray them last.. it really doesn't matter.

 

 

Below are some of the leaves I die cut, and tied with a cute little tag with the new 3/16" Braided Linen Thread.  I punched a 1" circle out of cardstock and layered all the leaf pieces onto the circle, then added the circle to the box.  The leaves are die cut in the corrugated paper as described above, and Grapefruit Grove cardstock, shimmered with Bright Copper Shimmer Paint mist.

 

 

I started with a piece of Toil & Trouble pumpkin design paper wrapped around the box.. you can use any size.. mine was about 4" x 8".  I also added a piece of shimmered Powder Pink ruffled ribbon... when you add the copper shimmer paint to the ribbon, it gives it a fun fall look, and it's not so pink.

 

The Fall themed KitKat bars seemed like a great treat to put inside!

Fall Card ideas with Brusho, Woodland Embossing folder & Falling Leaves

 

I love Fall Leaves, and decided to go with greens, blues and yellows, since that's the color of California Fall Leaves right now :)  I used Brusho Crystal Colour to give these Stampin' UP! Falling For Leaves great, vibrant hues of color!

There are So many products and ideas in these 2 cards.. someone should really count all the fun accessories I included in these 2 cards! :)

 

 Both fall card ideas feature Very Vanilla cardstock backgrounds, die cut leaves colored with Brusho, and Copper Shimmer Paint.  I also used Tranquil Tide cardstock because I thought it went really well with the amazing leaf colors!

 I combined the Detailed Leaves thinlit dies with the Country Home stamp set.. kind of made my own "bundle" for these cards :)   The Falling for Leaves bundle (below) is also amazing, and you can see one of my cards with that bundle here.

Falling for Leaves bundle available online here.

 Directions:

1. Shake Brusho crystal colour onto watercolor paper, and spray with either water, rubbing alcohol or spray starch (I used spray starch on this piece). Let dry.
2. Die cut Falling for Leaves framelits in your Big Shot
3. Sponge with shimmer paint or add Wink of Stella for shimmer
4. Because I was using watercolor paper the little pieces in the leaf dies did not readily fall out.. I decided to leave them in.. I liked that look!

 Below:

For the background of this fall card, I embossed the Very Vanilla cardstock with the Woodland Embossing Folder then sponged Copper Shimmer Paint onto the raised portion.  It's really pretty in person!!

To compliment the copper shimmer, I also sponged it around the die cut Stitched Shape circle, and added a copper leaf trinket to the card... PLUS, I sued the Tea Room copper edged ribbon... wow!!

The Happy Harvest Blessing greeting is from the Country Home stamp set.

For the 2nd fall card idea, I used a piece of the new chicken wire from pg 43 in the 2018 Stampin' UP! Holiday catalog, and sponged it with Copper Shimmer paint.. ok, seriously!? This is so cool!!

Below:  I layered the chicken wire piece onto a Very Vanilla panel that was embossed with embossing paste and the brick "Pattern Party Decorative Mask".  You can find ALL of these paper crafting supplies in my online Stampin' Up! store, and also at the bottom of this post.  My online store is open 24/7 for your shopping convenience :)

If you have not yet used Embossing Paste (brick background), CLICK HERE to watch my FREE Video Tutorial!

 

The finishing touch on this card was a piece of the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim, pg 43 in the Holiday catalog.  I realized I could have also used Copper trim, but this was also a very pretty choice.   The thankful stamped greeting is from the Country Home stamp set.

Tin Tile Embossing folder Christmas Card idea

 My best guess is that this amazing Tin Tile embossing folder will be the hit of the 2018 Stampin' UP! Holiday catalog accessories!!  You can find it on page 43 in your catalog, or HERE in my online store.  For this Christmas card idea, I used it with the Silver Foil paper for the background, and also used the Peaceful Noel stamp set and Sprig punch (available as a money-saving bundle!), pg 29, or HERE online.

 

I created this pretty card while stamping at Cindee's house, and we also experimented with Copper Foil Paper, Gold Foil Paper and Black foil paper with the Tin Tile embossing folder!!  Check out our results below, and purchase your supplies anytime in my online store HERE or by clicking the product photos at the bottom of my blog post.

 

 

Online ordering links for the Copper, Gold and Black foil sheets are also included in the online store product links at the bottom of this blog post.

 I wanted to add some pretty berries to my card, so I colored some of the Frosted Epoxy droplets with a Real Red Stampin' Blends markers!! How pretty!!!! eeeks! :)

 

 

After punching the sprigs out of Garden Green cardstock, I sponged on some Champagne Mist Shimmer paint with a sponge dauber.. that's another new product, found on page 38 in the Holiday catalog or HERE online.

The card is all tied up with the new Merry Merlot / Copper reversible ribbon.. how gorgeous!!  We also used a piece of the Dashing Along designer paper on the card in the background.. this is not for sale but is available as your gift with a $250 workshop, party or order.  See THIS customer newsletter for all the info.

Country Home & Tin Tile Embossing Folder card

 

I'm so excited to share this lovely Country Home card with you today!  I used the Stampin' UP! Country Home stamp set, the Country Lane designer paper, the Tin Tile embossing folder, gold shimmer paint and some Stampin' Blends to create this card.  You'll find most of those supplies on page 43 in your 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog and all of them at the bottom of this post - order directly in my online store anytime.

 This entire suite is amazing, versatile, and so much fun for anyone who likes to color (like ME!).  I used my Stampin' Blends markers to color the milk jug and the floral arrangement. 

I added a 1" wide strip of Silver Foil paper embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing folder to the left side of the card, and then tied it all up with some "Tea Room" ribbon from page 201 in the annual catalog. 

I used 2 prints from the Country Lane paper pack on my card.

 

ALL of these Stampin' Up! supplies are available NOW in my online store HERE or by clicking the product photo links at the bottom of this post.  I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and help you with your order so you can make this card, too!

 

Country Lane designer paper available HERE in my online store

 

Don't forget the Gold Shimmer paint and a sponge dauber.. I added some to the milk jug to help give it that little shimmer like real metal.  Find 4 new Shimmer Paints on page 38 in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.

 

 I made this card with Cindee at her house last month and below is my 2nd version, too.  I used the other floral stamp in the set in the same milk jug, and colored it with some brighter colors.

Seasonal Wreath Christmas Card with Shimmer Paint

 

Do you have a favorite Embossing Folder in the current Stampin' Up! catalog?  Find them all on pages 222-223 in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, or HERE online.   I used 2 embossing folders on my Christmas card today: Seasonal Wreath (#146833) and Striped Scallops (#147188).

 

I embossed the wreath on a piece of Stampin' Up! Whisper White cardstock, then used Sponge Daubers to add 3 colors of ink (Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, and Call me Clover).  I used my paper snips to cut out the wreath, and then curved it to give it dimension. After cutting it out I sponged Champagne Mist Shimmer paint all over it and added Santa's Workshop red enamel dots!!

This card was inspired by Twila Davis.

 

The card base is Real Red cardstock (11"x4-1/4" folded in 1/2), and the white panel on top is embossed with the Striped Scallops embossing folder. 

Here are a few visuals and tips for you when sponging, creating and assembling this card:

 

 Add the new Shimmer Paint to your Holiday Catalog Wish List!!  CLICK here to download yours today!

 I stamped the greeting from the Timeless Tidings stamp set (new in the 2018 Holiday catalog, pg 33) onto Whisper White and punched it out with the 1-3/4" circle punch.  I used the Layering circles framelit dies to die cut a piece of Real Red cardstock to put behind the greeting.  Add the greeting to your card, then place the wreath over it.

 

 

The amazingly clear/glossy look of these Santa's Workshop enamel shapes are just gorgeous.. I loved adding them as the "berries" to this wreath!

 

Above: can you see the shimmer on the wreath?  That's the beautiful effect you get when you sponge Champagne Mist shimmer paint onto the wreath with a sponge dauber!!!  Shimmer paint is available in 4 colors starting Sept. 5, 2018 in the new Holiday catalog!

 

I finished off this card with a Red 3/8" cotton ribbon bow.

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek Christmas Card

 

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek Christmas Card idea!

 I am so excited to share this fun Christmas card idea with you!!!  I saw the idea on Pinterest to use the Bokeh dots background stamp with the Rainbow pad, and the tree die cut from the "In The Woods" framelit die set (#147919, pg 27 Holiday catalog).  The card idea inspired by demonstrator Katie Drew!  I added a beautiful layer of White Shimmer Paint to the tree die cuts, and the "Merry" die cut from the "Merry Christmas Thinlit dies" (#147912, pg 5 Holiday catalog)  using the new Joyous Noel Glimmer paper (#147817, pg 29 Holiday catalog).

 

 

 

If you have not yet inked a spectrum rainbow pad with Stampin' UP! ink refills, you can watch the video below!

 

 

The Bokeh Dots background stamp was inked with the rainbow pad shown above, stamped onto Whisper White cardstock, then used as the background for the die cut trees.

 New Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog supplies used on this project:

• Merry Christmas Thinlit dies #147912, pg 5, Holiday catalog
• Noel Glimmer paper #147817, pg 29 Holiday catalog
• Merry Christmas to All stamp set #147702 (available as a bundle with the dies) (pg 5)
• White Shimmer paint #147044, pg 38 Holiday catalog
• In The Woods framelit die set #147919, pg 27 Holiday catalog

 

Tip #1 & #2:

Sponge White Shimmer paint with a sponge dauber onto the Whisper White Die Cut trees

To adhere both layers together, put small dots of glue on the top tree, allowing the little "flaps" to still lift up.

 

Tip #3:

Put the Stampin' UP! Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet onto the back of the Glimmer paper first, then die cut the word Merry.  This will give you a "sticker" to put onto your project and you don't have to mess with glue! :)

 

Don't forget to purchase your supplies for this project in my online store! 

The products from the 2018 Holiday catalog will be available starting Sept. 5, 2018.

After I added the "merry" die cut, I stamped "& bright" from the Merry Christmas to All set in Shaded Spruce ink.  You can purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle.. see page 5 of the 2018 Holiday catalog!!  Available starting Sept. 5, 2018.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  Hope you enjoy this festive Christmas / Holiday card idea!
