Sparkling Stars

I've been having fun playing with the Decorative Masks. They are brand new to the catalogue (you can find them on page 205). The best news is that they are only $4.95....and you get 2 designs in the pack! I've used the stars one on this card. You can sponge or spritz the colour onto the stencil. Here I've sponged Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.
Iridescent Ice is clear embossing powder with glitter added to it, so you get a nice shine and some sparkle too.
I've kept the rest of the card pretty simple, with just some layering of punched shapes, because I didn't want to cover up too many of the sparkling stars!
I hope you have a lovely weekend, whatever you may be doing.

Stained Glass Sparkle Technique

This is the second card we're making in this week's Technique Classes:

I'm not sure of the proper name for this technique. I call it "Stained Glass Sparkle"... it involves Window Sheets, glitter and Crystal Effects. You can use ink refills to colour your Crystal Effects, but I've taken a short-cut and used Blendabilities straight onto the window sheet instead.
Here's a closer look at the sparkle:

The Crystal Effects takes a little while to dry, but it's worth the wait!

July Stamp-a-Stack with new In Colors

This was the second design that we made in this week's classes. We played with the 5 new In Colors - Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist. As you can see, the colours all work really well together. I love the depth and intensity of this years colours. Because they are so rich, I've balanced that intensity out with a lot of white space. I've used Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Naturals White and Naturals Ivory for my card bases.

I've used this "3 square" design before, but this time I didn't centre my design, for a bit of a different look. The new Itty Bitty Accents Punch adds the perfect little accent to these cards, and the gorgeous In Color ribbon is the perfect finishing touch.

TIP: I use Dazzling Details Glitter Glue to attach my sequins....the glue has a fine tip applicator, and you can add a dash of sparkle with your sequin instead of messy glue streaks!

July Stamp-a-Stack Hexagons

Now that school holidays are over, my Stampin' Classes are back in full swing. We kicked off this week with a Stamp-a-Stack. This was the first design:

I had seen a few similar designs on Pinterest using the hexagon punch, and thought it would be perfect for a Stamp-a-Stack. We used some gorgeous new papers - "Lullaby" and "Maritime", and I've taken my colour schemes from there. These were really quick and simple cards to put together.

I always like to show everyone a tip or two during my classes, and one of the tips on these cards was a little trick for the best way to attach twine knots and bows...no adhesive required!....any guesses for how I did it? (no cheating if you attended my class!)

Launch Party Thank you Gifts

All of the guests at my Launch Party took home a goody bag, and one of the items inside was this little treat holder:

I was inspired by a swap I received at Convention from Janette Clark. I thought it was so clever how she used a Medium Crumb Cake envelope, folded in half. A tasty chockie treat (from Aldi) fits perfectly in the open half, and a little metallic clothespin holds it closed:

I used the new "Moonlight" paper stack for my colour scheme (I did half Lost Lagoon and half Blackberry Bliss). Love these papers!
