coloring glitter paper

Once again the blog queen, Mary Fish, did a video technique on how to color our glitter paper.  I wish I had a regular piece of silver glitter paper so you could see the difference.  This was colored with early espresso ink.  You just take a reinker and put several drops in the lid of the ink pad.  Dip your sponge or dauber in it and daub all over the glitter paper.  The ink isn't sticking to the glitter as much as it is the paper underneath it.  You will HAVE to use a heat tool to dry it b/c it takes FOREVER to dry.  I am excited to try it with other colors. 

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Perfectly Penned

Paper: Soft Suede, White, Spice Cake DSP

Ink: Early Espresso

Tools: small heart punch, 2-3/8" scallop punch, 1-3/4 circle punch

Accessories: dimensionals, 1/8" espresso ribbon

 Here is Mary's done with Pink Pirouette.  So, a very versatile product!  It is available in red though.

Quick Gently Falling

Last week I did a demo for my friend Toni.  I had to show this gorgeous stamp set, but I didn't want to overwhelm new stampers with all my layers and tools.  So, I found this one online and it was PERFECT!  Please forgive my little mistakes at the bottom.  I didn't have time to make another one.  I have noticed lately with the die cut stamps, I have to take a baby wipe and wipe around the edges.

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Gently Falling, Perfectly Penned
Paper: Whisper White
Ink: More Mustard, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede


I did want to dress it up a little though...couldn't help myself.  I lined the envelope.

I cut a piece of Spice Cake DSP into the usual 5.5 x 4.25.  I pushed the paper down into the envelope until the top of the paper touched the tip of the flap. Them I cut the excess DSP off the edges and glued it on.  A really neat way to make a simple card pop a little.
