Super Easy Glitter Borders - Perfect Results every time! - Stampin' Up!




Supplies list for Glitter Border Cards- Stampin' Up!

How to create perfect glitter borders...this is so easy! Simply place 2 rows of sticky strip down each side of the card, and spoon over Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Brush off the excess with your fingers or a paintbrush and voila! perfect results in record time! I have made 2 versions of this card:
SUPPLIES:
*A4 - Stampin' Up! Cardstock: Pink Pirouette cut in half and folded.
*Ink: Primrose Petals
*Sponge Dauber
*Stamp Set: Two By Two
*Framelits- Labels Collection
*Rhinestones (small)
*Dimensionals
*Pink organza ribbon attached with a Glue Dot
*Sticky Strip
*Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

For the second version I stamped the image in Basic Grey Ink and mounted it onto Basic Grey card, using the 2nd largest framelit. I hand coloured the image with Basic Grey and Pretty in Pink markers and a Blender Pen.
Use a light hand so you don't rub through the cardstock. I coloured the image with the light source coming from the right hand side, and shaded under the rim of the boat to give a 3D effect. I sponged around the edge of the image with Primrose Petals and added some Dazzling Details around the edge with a paintbrush.

Peace Card - Stampin' Up!

Although it's still a little early to be making Christmas cards, I wanted to use the "Peace on Earth" sentiment from the Greetings of the Season - Stampin' Up! stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.

As a meditation teacher, I often use peace as a theme with my students, and it's a sentiment that can be used all year round, not just at Christmas.

This card also features the - Stampin' Up!Elegant Butterfly Punch. It co-ordinates perfectly with the - Stampin' Up! Papillon Potpourri stamp set, which I hand coloured with Elegant Eggplant and So Saffron markers, then added a few dots of Dazzling Details and attached it with a Glue Dot.
 I stamped the card with the - Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch stamp set in Raspberry Ripple, and hand coloured around the centres in So Saffron. The  smaller flowers are stamped in Elegant Eggplant ink. I stamped an extra flower in Raspberry Ripple, then punched it out using the Stampin' Up!  Blossom Punch, and added some Elegant Eggplant lines with the dual tipped marker, curved the petals with my Bone Folder, and popped it up with a dimensional.
I hope you enjoy this card.

SUPPLIES:
Stampsets:- Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season, Papillon Potpourri, Mixed Bunch
Punches: Elegant Butterfly. Blossom.
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Raspberry Ripple, So Saffron.
Cardstock: Whisper White
Adhesive: Glue dot, Dimensional.
Dual-tip Marvellous Markers: Elegant Eggplant, So Saffron
Embellishments: Dazzling Details glitter adhesive.

Betsy's Blossoms Fun and Fresh Card - Stampin' Up!

I love the Spring colours in this card: Midnight Muse, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White. 

*The card base is an A4 sheet of - Stampin' Up! Midnight Muse cut in half and scored down the middle.
*I then layered a piece of Lucky Limeade 5.5cm x 14cm which I had first stamped all over with the large image from the set with Lucky Limeade ink.
*Next I stamped the branch onto a whisper white 9.5cm circle cut out using the large circle die.
*I stamped an extra wing  and bird onto scrap Whisper White card and cut them out, then popped them up using dimensionals.
*I adhered all the layers together with Snail adhesive, trimming off the bottom of the circle with my paper snips.
*You can add any greeting you like to this card. I chose to make it a birthday card.
*The final touch of Bling was a small rhinestone for the bird's eye.

Birthday Cards - Stampin' Up! Australia

                                            I needed to make 2 birthday cards this week.
  • This card is for a teenager's 18th birthday. I wanted a nice masculine card, so I used the - Stampin' Up! pennant punch to make a banner. 
  • I cut the scallop edge using the scallop framelit.
  • Next I scored the front of the card every 1/2 inch using the Simply Scored Tool to give an embossed effect. This is a really versatile way to jazz up any card front and you can score on the diagonal as well if you have the diagonal plate.
  •  Each flag has a circle cut from the owl builder punch ( middle sized circle) 
and then I layered a 1 inch circle onto the smallest apothecary framelit die, which I cut out using the Big Shot.
  • The stamp is from the the Pennant Parade stamp set, and I finished the card off with some linen thread, and glued on some separate tiny bows.
 The card stock used was Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Night of Navy, and Daffodil Delight.



This next card was for a teenage girl who loves the clean and simple look. I kept the card fresh by using only two colours, Whisper White and Pear Pizzaz.
  • I started by punching out the flower with the blossom punch near the bottom right hand corner of the card. 
  • Next I ran the card front through the Big Shot using the polka dot embossing folder.
  • I layered a piece of Twitterpated Designer Paper inside the card and attached the punched out blossom in the top right hand corner making sure it didn't show through onto the front when the card was closed. This allows a space for journalling.
  • Next I cut a strip of pear pizzaz card stock for the front and punched out the flower centre using the boho blossoms punch.
  • I stamped the greeting from the Apothecary Art Stamp Set
  • I pierced holes using the paper piercing tool and inserted white brads into both these pieces of card stock then affixed the greeting to the front and the centre to the flower (which I lined up with the card closed) using Dimensionals.
The card stock used was Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz, and paper from the Twitterpated Designer Series.
I hope you like the cards!
 If you would like to come to a class in St Peters, Sydney just email me, or I can come to your home (minimum of 4 guests) and give a private class.
