Snowflakes and Glimmer Paper

Hi Everyone,

A number of my regulars have been absent from classes of late so I thought everyone would like to see what has been very popular.  I have a number of cards to share here using The Snow Flurry die and Glimmer Paper.  Now the Glimmer paper comes in a few colours - Champagne from the Holiday mini pictured the following cards below and Silver and Red in the Annual Catalogue.

Here are a couple made with the Champagne Glimmer and Snow Flurry die


The Square Card (Top) is based on a Card I made previously for class.  In this instance I've used a base of Soft Suede with Whisper White and Blushing Brie as the flag beneath the snowflake.  I've also used the Large Scallop Edgelits for some glimmer trim and the Paper Piercing Template around the flag.

The second card is a case of a card by Amy Storrie.  It features a strip of the Flocked Window sheet from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Paper pack from the Holiday Mini on cardstock of Whisper White and River Rock.  I've used the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder on both cards.

Next I've used Silver Glimmer Paper, and I have a number of cards to share here.

You can see the similarities in this card to my card (Top).  This card was inspired by the work of Lynette Parker.  I've used a base of Crumb Cake with Whisper White and Perfect Plum for the flagged mat of the snowflake.  We made this card in class and I immediately sold a number of these dies and Glimmer paper to go with it.

The next card is also a similar style and based on this card above, and although I had the idea to make this card too, I was beaten to it by Shannon Briglia, who also had the same idea.  The Flagged mat has been replaced by one of the shapes in the Apothecary Accents Framelits.  I've used Shannon's colours too of
Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Pool Party.


I have a couple more cards to share using the Glimmer, but I'll save that for next time.

Please leave me a comment, if you like what you see.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
