Snow much fun – Northwest Stamper

Christmas Card with the Stained Glass Technique

I’m getting ready for my Crystal Effects technique class tomorrow and I always love running this class because it reminds me to use one of my favorite techniques – the “Stained Glass” technique. This technique uses Crystal Effects, reinker, and some glitter to let you color in any image on a Window Sheet giving you a pretty look that is reminiscent of a stained glass window.

In this case, we’ll be using the Snow Much Fun stamp set for our image:

I tried doing a close up of the image so you can get a sense of the look you get when you are done.

It is a really easy method for coloring in your images with a lot of wow factor. 🙂 Hope this gave you a fun idea to try on one of your projects soon!

And if you want to join us tomorrow for this class, you can rsvp here!

Snow Much Fun Convention Swaps & Checkin Day!

Woo hoo! Convention is here and it was a busy day in Salt Lake City for me yesterday. I spent the first night in town (Tuesday night) finishing up my swaps and getting settled in after arriving late in the evening. I wanted to use Dazzling Details (Stampin’ Up!’s glitter glue) on my cards so I glittered them up and had them all out to dry around the room. Smile

The end result, I think, turned out pretty nice. Unfortunately I had a heck of a time taking a picture in the light of the hotel room that shows the glitter, but I think you can tell here:

This was one of my two swaps and today I can’t wait to swap like crazy. I’ve already seen some super cute cards and I know there will be tons more today!

But yesterday was filled with picking up our bags:

and visiting Momento Mall! (If you want to see more Momento Mall photos, check out my facebook page where I posted a bunch of pictures from yesterday)

Then we got an early peak at display boards and product showcases including checking out the new trimmer! Did you know that the new trimmer has a lock so that the plastic blade guide (where you slide the cutter up and down) so that it doesn’t flop open when you are putting it in your bag for crops? And the numbers are under the laminate on the platform so they won’t rub off?? Oh, I hope they announce that it is releasing soon!

Well, General Session starts at 8:30 and then it is off to make & takes and classes! I’ll be posting some to my facebook page throughout the day and then I’ll try to post more pictures tonight of more convention goodies.

And don’t forget my Convention Week specials!!

A Little More Convention Inspiration

Well, today is my day to photograph some of the recent projects I’ve made to share with you; so while I work on that, I thought I’d share with you a few more swap cards I received at convention. These were all cards that when I saw them I just had to trade for them. So I hope you enjoy like I did!


card by Tammy Olsen I love how this card uses the scallop circle from the Perfect Pennant bigshot die and weaves Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon to make this adorable wreath!	card by Kathy Gage I see this card and I think it looks like a present in the middle of a white card – perfect for a birthday card.

I’m trying to find the creator of this card, I’ll update shortly. When I saw this card, I thought it looked like a work of art and was so excited to swap for it. The cutest thing was the person who created it had designed it for a “Wow! swap” and was concerned it wasn’t good enough. So, she really appreciated that I was wow’ed by it and I loved having such beautiful inspiration.	card by Jacque Henry I’ve done masking techniques before and I’ve seen sponging and brayering techniques but I never put them together like in this card. Doesn’t it make such a neat effect! I know I’ll have to try different fun masked shapes now.

Been thinking about Designer Paper? I just got in my paper for the paper share and will be mailing out samplers shortly! I have a couple samplers extra, so if you are interested in one – it is a great deal!
Only $25 shipped for 96 6×6 sheets of all the patterns including specialty papers!

Check out all the designs and reserve yours in this post – http://www.nwstamper.com/love-designer-paper-check-out-this-sampler/.
