Sparkly Tulle Windows. Stampin' Up! Australian Demonstrator

Hello, and welcome to my blog! 

There is a video tutorial for this set of cards at the end of this post.

I have three special cards for you today, and I know you're going to love this technique.

I have used the stamp set "A Little Wild " to create a set of Tulle Window Cards that are as cute on the inside as they are on the outside!

I have floated the images on a sparkly tulle window that is sandwiched between the layers.

  

This technique is also suitable for acetate sheets if you don't have any tulle handy, although tulle is readily available in any fabric store and is inexpensive too. I found this soft white tulle with silver sparkly glittery pieces embedded in the fabric, at Spotlight.

I cased this idea from the very talented Jennifer McGuire, and have put a link to her post in the video.
The stamp set I have used really suits this technique, since it not only has matching framelits, but also has an image of the back of each of the cute little animals that match perfectly.

See how cute the inside of each of the cards looks! Aren't they just darling?  I REALLY love this technique.

I hope you give these a try. You can purchase the stamp set and framelit bundle, as well as the Stitched Framelits that were used to cut out the windows,  from my online Stampin' Up! Store

To You and Yours Stamp Set Re-imagined.Stampin' Up! Sutherland Shire.

                     Here is a unique way to use the "To You and Yours" stamp set #139819.

I simply used a ruler and the fine tip of my Night Of Navy Stampin' Write marker to draw a line 2/3 of the way down my Very Vanilla layering piece, then stamped the bauble holder image in Night Of Navy ink. I stamped the greeting at the centre above the ruled line, then I hand drew a bow across the ruled line.
On a separate piece of Very Vanilla Card stock  I stamped the image of the deer and trees then punched it out using the 1 3/4" circle punch. I popped it up on a dimensional and mounted the art piece onto a Night of Navy card base.
                             I love the balance achieved by the rule of thirds in this card. 

Christmas Shadow Box Frame, Hello December. Stampin' Up!

 

Make this Shadow Box for your Christmas Home Decor using an Ikea Shadow Box Frame.

This project is made using the Hello December 2015 Project Life Accessory Pack # 139654. 

The only additional supplies you will need are some adhesives and whichever papers you choose for the backing sheets.

I have used a sheet of 12" x 12" DSP from the Home For Christmas paper (reverse of the Christmas Tree pattern) and a sheet of Lost Lagoon 12" x 12".

The Shadow box Frame is Ribba, size 50 x 50 cm (19 3/4" x 19 3/4"), available from Ikea.

The circles for the fluttering banner are punched out using the 3/4", 1", and 1 1/4" circle punches, then attached to the fine gold thread included in the kit.

The patterned circles in the kit are popped up on double dimensionals after winding the fine gold gold thread directly onto the sticky reverse side of the stickers....easy!

The vellum circle stickers are adhered straight to the page so they will give a translucent effect.

The circle banner was attached to the back of the frame using sticky tape.

 

This project was quick to put together and looks sensational in real life. The photos don't really do it justice. The sparkle catches the light and the banner casts a pretty shadow over the glass frame, inviting the viewer in for a closer look.
