Timeless Elegance
For today's video tutorial, I'm going to make these super cool "WOW" cards. Featuring the Stampin Up Timeless Elegance Designer Paper, and a quick and easy colorizing technique. This in itself is a wow, but of course I can't end it there. Had to take it one step further and turn the entire designer paper layer into Glimmer Paper with Iridescent Ice glitter. I used a "Thank you" stamp from the One Big Meaning stamp set, but you could easily make this a wedding / anniversary, congratulations or sympathy card simply by changing the words. It's a great card to make a bunch of to have on hand.

PROJECT

This stinkin' cute Herbie the Love Bug card and video tutorial is my project for the blog hop. As soon as I saw this Volkswagen beetle car stamp in the Occasions Catalog (Stampin Up Beautiful Ride stamp set), I instantly thought of Herbie the Love bug. Herbie was a Disney classic a 1963 VW beetle with a mind off his own. There is a Volkswagon repair shop near me that actually has a "real life" Herbie car, I love it. In my video below, I'll show you how I made this card. It's easier than you think, some fun techniques include: sponging, masking and a cool "hack" for getting the #53 from the Day by Day Calendar stamp.
