How to make shimmery cardstock

in Cardmaking, Creativity, Techniques on 10/02/18

Happy October!  One of my favorite things about being one of the Artisan Design Team Member for Stampin’up! this year is the Instagram Tip Sharing.  There are so many things we can do with Stampin’up! products. I’ve recently  shared a tip on Stampin’up!’s Instagram Account.  If  you are not following them, you must start now.  They share so many great ideas. If you haven’t seen my tip then you must read below:)

I was ecstatic when Stampin’up! brought back the Champagne Mist All Purpose Ink in the holiday catalogue.  I’m even more excited that new colors are also available.

The Shimmer Paint comes in 4 colors:

  • Bright Copper
  • Champagne Mist
  • Frost Mist
  • Vegas Gold

For today’s post, I wanted to highlight my favorite tip using the All- purpose ink/Shimmer Paint. Plus, I’ll share my step-up version as well.

How to create shimmery embossed cardstock:

  • Fill a Stampin’Spritzer with rubbing alcohol.  Use 70% or more to obtain the best result.
  • Add a couple of drops of Champagne Mist All-Purpose Ink.
  • Shake well.
  • Spritz on a piece of cardstock.

To step up this technique:

  • Place that piece of spritz cardstock in between one of Stampin’up!’s Textured Impressions Embossing Folders.
  • Run through the Big Shot.
  • Voila!

**With this tip, you can create shimmery embossed cardstock for your holiday crafting projects with any of the fifty-three Stampin’up! colors. Isn’t this amazing?  Have fun creating your shimmery cardstock!

Add all 4 Shimmer Paint to your next order or to your wish list.  If you live in Canada, I would love to be your demonstrator!  Click on the supply list below to order these items.  Use Hostess October Code EGY6SPTJ to receive perks from my VIP club.   View all of the current promotions by clicking HERE.  Happy Stamping!

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.
