Glimmer Mist Classes: Sat, April 30 at 10am and 2pm
Glimmer Mist is one of the most popular products at The Stamp Act, and yet it is a product that we are not always certain how to use to its fullest. This Saturday I will show you almost a dozen different techniques for coloring backgrounds and embellishments with this shimmery spray. Glimmer Mist comes in dozens and dozens of colors and we will use soft pastels and a few bolder colors as we explore different ways to enhance our papercrafting with this spray.
To make this class even more appealing, with the class you will receive
FREE merchandise like Glimmer Stamps and Glimmer Screens worth over $40!!!! Better register now because we are almost full!
In the classes you will make backgrounds and color embellishments that you can later turn into completed cards. In the pink "Rosa" card above, the background is created with a stamp and Glimmer Mist. In the card on the right, the background is Glimmer Mist and Distress Ink plus a secret ingredient! Here are some more samples I made of completed cards using more background techniques and embellishments.
A Resist technique using stamps, embossing and Glimmer Mist. See the ribbon -- you will learn how to make Crinkled Ribbon too -- very shabby chic!
Just Rite Cling-mounted Stamps and Spellbinder Dies” Class: Sat, May 7 at 10am
Just Rite Stamps is creating cling-mounted stamps (that means they mount on an acrylic block just like clear stamps) that match some of Spellbinders dies. Simply stamp then die cut and your central image is done! The results are beautiful! The class above will showcase several of their sets and show you how to use these sets to create gorgeous cards.
To show you more about this concept, here are pictures of some of the stamp sets with my sample card. Don’t miss this class!
The card above is made with the Fancy Labels set and die cute with Spellbinders' Labels 18. The card on the right below is also stamped with Fancy Labels then die cut with Labels 13. You can see that I also used one of the small stamps for the stamped border. (FYI: The rest of the border is created with Martha Stewart's Double Loops edge punch).
Don't discount the smaller stamps in these sets. For the cards shown below I used the Vintage Floral Labels stamp set including some of the smaller stamps. The "plant Smiles" card was inspired by one by Angela Barkhouse. I first die cut the paper with Grand Nestabilities Labels 1; then stamped the images; and colored with Copic Markers. It was easy and lining them up was not problem!
I hope you see the potential in these wonderful stamp sets. Sign up for this class and learn more about them!

You are going to love, love, love a new product line I just discovered from Inky Antics stamp company. It’s called Honey Pop and it is a line of clear stamp sets that you use with honeycomb paper to make dimensional, pop-out cards. The stamps will arrive in late May and I have already planned Honey Pop classes for Saturday, May 28 at 10am and 2pm. Sign up early because these stamps won't last long!!!
