Tuesday Tip & Tipple... Brewed For You #1

No matter the beer... we have a glass for you! Introducing the new Brewed For You stamp set & bundle... 

And the back story... what is a girl to do when faced with a birthday of someone special... but no card made... and only minutes to spare...

Why re-use an old favourite card of course... using the long retired Another Great Year stamp... dressed up for a new occasion... Cheers!

And I also have to admit to initially forgetting to add the froth to my beer... so that was added later on this occasion... hence the difference in photos... so I thought I'd share both versions...

And I like the finished result so much.... as well as having discovered the Simple aka Faux Centre Step Card version of the card fold this year... that you will see a re-make soon... but using some lovely new papers...

 

And the Tip for today... 

Spot the sheen on the glasses... simply care off a swoosh of a Versamark pad all over the top of the stamped glass image.... followed by a sprinkling of clear embossing powder... and then heated to melt... Oh... and tweezers came in handy!

And then it makes perfect sense to add the froth separately!

Simple on Saturday - Beautiful Blue Blizzard

My lovely friend, fellow demonstrator and teamie Kate Martin CASEd these Beautiful Blizzard cards of mine shared here... and she die cut some blue (non SU!) foil snowflakes.... which gave me an idea....

And I had pulled together my 20 Shimmer Paint Uses document... which in turn made me create my little Pool Party Shimmery Stampin Spot... both of which you can find by clicking here...

Put these 2 ideas together and this is what you get... though I do have to admit that I should have made a Balmy Blue Shimmer Stampin Spot as then the colours would have all gone together better! Job for another day!

So thank you Kate for inspiring the blue snowflake twist to my card... which I achieved simply by colouring in my die cut snowflakes with my Night of Navy Stampin Blends - some in Dark and some in Light to get the 2 shades....

But a quick note... colouring in all the foil panel before die-cutting wouldn't work so well!! The Blends work well on a small area such as one snowflake but not a large area... as they tend to "split"

And oh! There is a 3rd twist to this card variation... I used Frost White Shimmer Paint for the random snowflakes on the Night of Navy card blank... instead of the Champagne Mist used previously...

Wonder if you can see the difference... Champagne shimmer and sparkle to left and Frost White pearlescent sheen to right...
