Glow In The Dark

WINTER OWL 2

One of the new products that you can find in the Sept. ~ Dec. Mini Catty is GLOW IN THE DARK 6" x 6" SPECIALITY PAPER.  My card doesn't show the actually property of the paper glowing (too much light in the studio) but I stamped the owl on the paper ~ he is a white winter owl.  You can find the Winter Owl on page 26 and the paper on page 49 in the catty.  This unique paper also comes in the shapes of bats and ghosts ~ of course!


A little more info about your new mini...

So many of you have shared with me that you have found your SEPT - DEC MINI CATALOG in your mail box this week that I thought I would share a little more information with you.  What's your favorite bundle???  Leave me a comment and I'll send you a card!

Four in One Card Technique

4 in 1 cards

 

The 4 in 1 card is stamped on a full sheet of card stock, using just the center for images. When stamped as you desire, cut the card stock 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” or 4" x 5 1/4" to add to your base card with a small margin all around.

Decide what you want the layout to be for each card. Stamp the desired greeting on the blank area of each and then adhere to the card base. A very quick and easy technique for 4 cards. 

The cards above are created with the stamp set, GO TO GREETINGS, for the sentiments and CHEERFUL DAISIES (page 111 AC) for the flowers.  This technique makes four easy-peasy cards!  Please show me what YOU create with this technique!  I'll be happy to post your creations right here!

You know that I love the ZOO CREW SUITE on pages 46 & 47 in the annual catalog.  Obviously, Linda does too!  She created this darling card (yes, it does fit in our regular envelopes) using the darling dancers from the Zoo Crew dancing designer series paper (161304, $12.50).  She describes this as a HEXAGON POP-UP CARD and found a video on YouTube to learn how to make it.  Here is the same card ~ from the top!

IMG_0116Thanks so much for sharing Linda!  And, if you like this and want to make your own ~ google it!
