All that glitters...

Calling all glitter lovers!  Today I have a fabulous idea for you and it's so glittery and sparkly...you might want to get out your sunglasses before you read any further!!!!  We're talking EXTREME GLITTER!!!

The Beveled Windowpanes are so easy to alter and change and today's technique is no exception!


Baja Breeze Glass Glitter!  Seriously, does it get ANY better!!!!  To achieve this look, you want to put Sticky Strip around the beveled part of your windowpane and then firmly press it into the glitter of your choice.  One of the best things about this (other than the glitter!) is that the glitter will hide your adhesive so you can just Snail your windowpane onto your project and you won't see the Snail!  Did you notice how I stamped on the ribbon!!!  So fun!

Here's the whole card.


Oh, so pretty!  And, it matches my blog!!!!

Very Vintage

Oooh, I have a super great card for you today!  I love how this card turned out and so did my class participants!


Isn't is pretty!  Remember how I told you about the Frosted Windowpanes here?  This is kind of along the same lines, only this time I only sanded the beveled part of the windowpane.  Once I did that, I rubbed some Chocolate Chip ink over the sanded part.  The image is stamped on a piece of cardstock and placed behind the windowpane.


Isn't it fantastic?!?  I love, love, love those little safety pins from the Vintage Trinkets...they're perfect for attaching the Mini Vintage Tags.  Check back tomorrow for another windowpane idea!

Frosted Windowpanes

Good morning!  For the next few days I will be sharing some Beveled Windowpane ideas with you that my class participants made!  They had a blast with all of the cards I will be showing you.  All the windowpane techniques I'm going to share I learned at from a talented demonstrator, Kelly Acheson, when we were in Nashville!  She did a fantastic demo on this fun product!


I love the look of the frosted windowpane and it's so easy to do!  You just lightly sand the ENTIRE windowpane.  Once you've done this, you can stamp on it and the ink will stick!!!  For this one, I stamped the flower image from Clearly For You with StazOn ink right on the windowpane and then colored it with my markers (Not Quite Navy, Always Artichoke and Daffodil Delight).

Do you recognize that Early Espresso shape?  It's half of the folding tag from the Two Tags die!!!  And, check out how nicely the windowpane fits on the Scallop Rectangle Clearlit!  Here's a closer look...


I love the soft look of this technique!  Check back tomorrow for another great idea with the Beveled Windowpanes.

It's BINGO Time!!!!

I almost forgot!  BINGO starts today!  The square today is Concord Crush Bee.  If you have that on your card, mark it off!  You can see a running list of the squares called by clicking on the Sale-A-Bration BINGO tab up at the top.  If I post, I will make sure to put the square called at the end of my post, but since I don't post everyday, you'll want to check the SAB Bingo tab for the most up-to-date list!

Did you notice the new look?  March is my birthday month, and I have some BIG things in the works for this month!   You'll want to check back often so you can be in the know!!!!!

SU is the BEST!!!

I received an order last week.  No big deal...I knew what it was and was in no hurry to open it since it was punches and beveled windowpanes for classes.  Yesterday I went to open it to get the beveled windowpanes for the class and...hello, what's this?


A little stamped something from someone (Dennis Parson) at SU!  On the back it said Thanks and it was signed!  LOVE IT!!!!  Proof that the little things are what counts.   Of course I had to take this little gem and make a card.


I used up some scraps of stuff I had laying around on my desk to create this card.  Here's a close up of the main image.


So fun!  Thanks Stampin' Up! for this great little surprise!
