How to create a shimmer Wedding / Engagement Card featuring Stampin Up
here's dampers and crafters my name is
Tammy white from stampin Tammy comm and
today I have some excitement to share
with you I am participating in a blog
hop with some of the top demonstrators
and Stampin Up very exciting it is a
wedding themed hop and this is my
project that we are going to make today
it's gorgeous gorgeous card so this was
my blog hop project and the blog hop
participants are all demonstrators who
have earned the upcoming Mediterranean
cruise which is a dream cruise through
some destinations that have been on my
bucket list in Italy in France and I'm
so excited I cannot wait for this trip a
few of us that are going on this trip
got together and are participating in
this blog hop it's actually a global
trip so you will be cruising around the
world with just a few clicks of your
mouse to check out some beautiful
wedding ideas today I'm going to show
you how to make this beautiful card it
was created by Kim Wright who is a
Stamper demonstrator and a friend in my
group it it was perfect for this wedding
blog hop and you can download the free
pdf for this card on my blog as well as
take the tour and check out the other
blog hop designs simply by going to my
blog at this URL or by clicking in the
link in the YouTube description below
you're on YouTube you can click right on
this video alright let's get started and
here is a close-up of this beautiful
card that Kim created it is just aa sum
and surprisingly easy to make the the
stampin up stamp sets that we're using
today are birthday blooms and teeny tiny
wishes which is a word set filled with
almost every occasion I consider this to
be a staple in every collection you can
get all of these supplies on my stamp
otome comm blog including the free pdf
that I created for you which has
measurements and the supply lists on it
we're gonna start by building the
background which uses this lovely lace
folder I'm using a very some very
vanilla as the base so what we're gonna
put it halfway into the folder and you
could and you could texture the whole
entire section but I'm gonna put
designer paper on the bottom half and I
find that it sticks flatter and better
if it doesn't have the texture on it so
we'll just do half
for this taking the multi-purpose
cutting platform that goes with the
bigshot on tab 1 and then sandwich our
folder between two cutting pads and
crank it through the big shot isn't it
awesome that it's kind of neat to see
only on 1/2 because it's so dramatic and
so beautiful
our stripe designer paper that we're
using for the bottom is from the
timeless elegance designer paper pack
and I want to show it to you after I
attach the Swiss some snail adhesive so
it goes nice and flat there because it's
not textured on the bottom my pack you
can see is very well loved this is
actually multiple packs because I use
this paper so much I absolutely love it
it is gorgeous double-sided designer
paper from Stampin Up there are even
more designs that are shown here and you
may remember using this paper on some of
my other videos that I've done recently
like for example for our timeless
elegance gift set and this one will be
made glimmer paper out of the designer
paper and colorized it both of these
absolutely beautiful from the same
timeless elegance pack and just a note
every year Stampin Up changes up their
designer paper packs it's very rare that
they carry over and they do sometimes
carry over but we only have a couple
months left in this catalog before the
products switch over to a new collection
so I'm just giving you a heads up that
there's a good chance this timeless
elegance paper may only be around for a
couple more months so if you love it
stock up on it that's what I'll be doing
ok next up on super cool is this
blushing bride glimmer paper I'm
attaching this with glue dots because
the back isn't temp it's shiny and for
some reason the snail adhesive didn't
stick to it so well but the glue dots do
and then I just used some snail adhesive
to attach that to the card base before
the newlyweds stamp comes from the teeny
tiny wishes word set and that just gets
stamped in basic black on some very
vanilla
and punched out with the word window
punch I was punched upside down so you
can see exactly where you're punching
now I've got a strip of black here and
this is the Stampin Up banner punch I'm
actually just sliding it in the banner
to create the tail kind of a neat little
effect there you can make this any
length you want by doing that I'm gonna
do that on both sides now I'm gonna do
mine slightly different than Kim did
hers I'm not gonna add the blush blossom
glimmer heart which was made with the 80
bitty punch pack I'm gonna leave the
words plain on this I like it both ways
you can decide when you see them both
together so I attached the vanilla basic
black and blush blossom panels together
with snail adhesive and then attached it
right to our card base
I haven't attached the vellum yet we're
gonna do that piece in a second the
words go on with some stampin
dimensionals
okay next we've got some Versamark
watermarking ink pad and our flower from
the birthday blooms stamp set we're
gonna stamp that right in the center of
the vellum and if I were smart I would
have used my embossing buddy I had a
time and I didn't so hopefully I don't
have too much so hopefully I don't have
too much static but but this you would
just rub over the vellum with a card
stock and then stamp and that will keep
the static down so I'm probably gonna
end up showing you what why that's
important in a minute but let's keep our
fingers crossed here's some black
embossing powder just pour it on and
click off any excess actually it doesn't
look like we did too bad this time with
extra embossing powder but often little
flecks will stick around the edges and
that's why the embossing buddy comes in
handy and we've got our heat emboss tool
here and we're going to heat up our
flower and melt this powder
okay so for coloring in the flower we're
gonna squeeze the center of the closed
ink pad and then when you open it you're
gonna have a pool of ink on the lid
that's what we're gonna use to color
with it's a great way to color in when
you don't have a stamp and write marker
in the right color too but this
particular one just a very soft look
this is actually cherry cobbler which is
a little darker than the blush color
that we're using on the rest of the card
so I'm gonna do it fairly light I'm
using a blender pen here and the blender
pen alone does not have any pet does not
have a color so it picks up whatever
color you dip it in and then just wipe
it off and do the same squeeze and open
the pear pizzaz and lift that using the
same pen and color in the lease now with
the vellum it does take a little bit
longer to dry than normal so we're gonna
get that a few minutes to dry but
through the magic of YouTube okay I can
have this dry in a nanosecond okay once
that's dry we're taking this super
flippin awesome wink of Stella brush it
is a glimmer pen brush and you just
squeeze and just paint on the shimmery
awesomeness wowza right it's so cool
we'll do that on both the flower and the
leaves and the stem why not and when
you're done you have awesomeness so very
cool and to attach this to our card base
we're going back to the mini glue dots
just a heads-up adhesive does show
through vellum as does everything it's
very revealing
so you want to strategically place these
glue dots where we're gonna hide them
you can just barely see them there but
we have a secret weapon and it's called
sequins to the rescue woohoo matching
the glimmer paper and the cards
Dok that we're using so these I mean you
can string them out and they look
awesome but today we're actually going
to just take them off the string and use
them individually so just go ahead and
peel off four of those and they are the
perfect size for the mini glue dots so
you can actually just stick them right
to the dots and then just peel them and
stick them down right over the glue dots
underneath and our card is beautiful and
it's complete and here is Kim's original
with the heart so here's with the heart
and without just a really cool technique
gorgeous card either way you do it up
