New at SU Blog Hop – Shine, Shimmer & Glow

Hello and welcome to our new at SU Blog Hop. Get ready to be dazzled with our Shine, Shimmer & Glow theme featuring products from the September – December Mini Catalogue. If it’s your first time here I’m so glad that you have visited me over in Melbourne. I’m a bit crazy for all things Christmas so I’ve created a Christmas card today.

My featured product is the Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper. This shiny metallic paper comes with 2 each of 3 designs in the pack.

I’m not one to use a lot of shimmery products on a project so for this card I combined the shiny paper with some neutrals for something more my style. I have used the silver/white sheet from the the Snowflake Magic DSP on my card and blended Lost Lagoon and Pool Party ink over it. This is a fun way to customise this paper to any project.

The tree is from the Merriest Trees bundle and I inked it up in Pool Party then added some Pretty Peacock on the bottom of the stamp to create the varying colours.

For the silver trim on the tree I experimented and applied liquid glue along the edges then poured Silver Embossing Powder over and heat embossed it. I was quite please that it turned out! Sometimes you’ve just got to give something a go- if it goes wrong, no problem but if it goes right, there’s a fun technique to use again.

I hope you have enjoyed what I have shared and can use some of these ideas to create your own projects. Please follow our hop through as you enjoy the sparkly projects. We appreciate you leaving a comment as you go through and value you taking the time to do so.
