  • Last Day for this Super Cute Snow Day Set!

    It is true, today is the LAST DAY of the Holiday Catalog and inevitably, there is a stamp set that I stare at in the catalog, love all the samples I see, and I keep putting it on my orders and then taking it off again because “I’m being good.”  Then by the end of the catalog, I’m starting to regret not getting it… this time, that stamp set is Snow Day.

    I keep seeing such cute things done with this snowman and I knew I wanted to play with him myself.  Thankfully this year I was in luck and a couple weeks ago, my mom decided she needed it too… so she ordered the set and I was able to borrow him for a little bit.

    Isn’t he so fun??!

    The body of the snow man is one stamp and then the face, hat, arms and scarf are all separate stamps, so you can change it up each time.

    Or if your snowman is ready to go on vacation after a long, cold winter… how about this:

    That makes me smile everytime!  All it takes is a couple extra punches (Wide Oval and Bitty Punch Pack) and your snowman is doing the hula!  (that bikini is the snow hat!)

    So, if you have any stamp sets or accessories you have been debating, check your catalog one more time and make your final decisions by 11:50 MST tonight and pick them up in the online store or let me know at jennifer@nwstamper.com.

  • I Know It’s Not Christmas but Check Out This Glass Glitter!

    Yes, I know it isn’t Christmastime and I can’t even claim Christmas in July, but I recently ran across this holiday card I made last winter and I JUST HAD to share it with you!

    See, I first heard about glass glitter at the Stampin’ Up! convention last summer.  They talked about how it would tarnish and give you this antique feel.  I couldn’t really grasp what they were talking about but I nodded my head and went along with it.  Fast forward to last December – I was trying to come up with a card for one of my card nights and I thought it would be fun to play with this “no-tie” ribbon technique and after stamping the snowman on the white cardstock, I added glass glitter to the Bashful Blue cardstock base and then said “Eww!”.  So I set the pieces aside on a shelf and promptly forgot about them. 🙂

    Fast forward again to a couple weeks ago, and I rediscovered the cardbase with glitter and it looked so different!  Of course now I thought it was cool, so I added some Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait cardstock as mats behind my snowman and colored him in with markers and it was a whole different card.

    To help you see what I mean… here is a picture showing what the Silver Glass Glitter looks like out of the jar next to what it looks like after a few months sitting on a shelf on a card:

    And here is a close up of the tarnished silver glitter:

    Cool, huh? I’m now going to have to experiment with the different colors because now with the Occasions mini you can get 3 different colors of Glass Glitter:

    Baja Breeze

    Silver

    Champagne

    So I hope this was useful for you… it was a fun accidental experiment for me. Smile I’d love to hear what you think about the Glass Glitter.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about how it tarnishes.
