Thank You Card Using Sparkly Stained Glass Technique

Last week I did a video tutorial for Sparkly Stained Glass and thought I would share some additional designs I created.  The card above is a thank you card for one of my customers.

This design isn't incorporated into a card yet ... I achieved the swirling using the eraser tip of a #2 pencil.  Colors used:   Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Yellow, and Pumpkin Pie

This is the window sheet I created while making the video.   Very pleased with the design, and will incorporate it into a card very soon.   Colors used:  Garden Green, More Mustard, and Cajun Craze.

 

This is a close-up look of the veining you get from the wrinkles in the tissue paper.

Unfortunately the photos above didn't pick up the sparkle which all have from the glitter.    Hope you will try the technique soon.

Pyramid Card

 Cute bow hold this card closed.

This is how it would look when removed from the envelope.  It does stand on its own.

 Untie and start to open.

 Fully opened ... has place for a message.

Last week we had team meeting (always fun & informative).  After the meeting, Joan Hardy stayed awhile longer and the two of us each tackled one of these cards.   We had printed directions, but they were not easy to understand.  It took both of us playing with the cut pieces, the folds, and the ribbons a good hour to each do a card.   The card is unique, but not one I would do often because of the time involved.  

Just a reminder that the buy 3 get 1 free DSP promotion ends on the 31st.  Also the Summer Mini Catalog ends on the 31st also.

Sparkly Stained Glass Video Tutorial

Today I have a video tutorial showing you step by step how to create this Sparkly Stained Glass look on your cards and scrapbook pages.   I think once you try it, you will be hooked.  It is fast becoming one of my favorite techniques and look for cards.   Images were stamped using StazOn Black ink.   Stampin' Up! also has StazOn white ink (info below).

One thing I forgot to mention in my video ... when you go to adhere this window sheet to your card, be sure to use sticky strip.   Pulling across the tissue paper area with SNAIL can cause it to rip.

If you are reading this blog entry via e-mail, you will need to return to my blog to view the video tutorial.

Sparkling Stained Glass Look

This is all done on a window sheet.   Stained glass & glitter is done from the back and image is stamped in StazOn from the front when the back is completely dry.

 This is a close-up of all of the sparkle created with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter from Stampin' Up!.

I will have more examples of this technique very soon.  It is amazing the different looks you can achieve just by changing out the colors (re-inkers used).  I was happily surprised at all the sparkle with this technique.  

Don't forget to check out the contest I'm running for the month of August for my customers.
