Glimmer paper

Sell-a-Bration is underway and I am thrilled to be stamping with some brand new stampers. This card was designed to be an easy beginner card with some bling and coloring, manageable for stamping at a workshop.

While the ribbon is pretty, the button adds some dimension, the star of the show is the glimmer paper heart. With the heart punch it only takes one second to create, add a dimensional to the back and it pops right off the card.

Right now, Stampin' Up! is selling this paper in 12 x 12", two sheets in a pack for $3.95. You can make a heart, you could punch the 3-heart punch and add a few little glimmering embellishments, you could use a strip of glimmer instead of ribbon, or in addition to ribbon, it would be beautiful as a base layer to your stamped panel. It is completely free of shedding glitter. There is no mess even when you punch, none of the glitter comes away from the paper.

The only complaint that I have for this product is that we didn't have it at Christmas. Dang. Wouldn't this have added pop to all our holiday projects?

Happy Stamping!
