Tomorrow I am in Atlanta at Stampin' Up! 2019 OnStage!! (that's mini convention) When demonstrators gather there is ALWAYS swapping!! I used the adorable FOLLOW YOUR ART Designer Series Paper #149489 with Basic Grey and Calypso Coral card stocks.

Did you notice the details? Using the NEW Trimmer #152392, I scored a double line on each side of the designer paper for added texture on a simple, fast card! Try it!

NATURE'S BEAUTY Stamp Set #150528 was chosen by Shari Wicks, fellow demonstrator, to create this soft, sweet bunny card which I cased. LOVE IT!!

Do you recognize this Designer Paper?? It's MONSTER BASH DESIGNER SERIES PAPER #150447! It's PERFECT!

This is a 4 x 4" Gate Fold card: cut base card 11 x 4" and then score at 2, 3-3/4, 7-1/4, and 9". This fits in a Stampin' Up! medium envelope. (Don't use a square envelope because it's extra US postage.)

The realistic bunny is colored with Stampin' Up! Blends alcohol markers: Light Smoky Slate and Ivory. To create the snow, I dotted on SNOWFALL ACCENT PUFF PAINT #150691 and sprinkled it with ICE STAMPIN' GLITTER #150445. Then I heated the puff paint with a heat tool and the glitter adhered. You can also adhere the glitter with SHIMMERY CRYSTAL EFFECTS #150892.

Sentiment is from MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL #147702. This is the perfect holiday card for a nature lover!! TRY IT!

Old "Trucks" are a current decor motif! Ride with Me Stamp Set #149312 is right on trend!! It's so cute and great for "guy cards," too!

The background is Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper #150432 in Garden Green.

This card is in the mail to a stampin' friend who is a GRANDMA for the first time!! It was sooo fun to create for her because I could feel her joy! I became a Grandma for the first time just 3-1/2 years ago.

I used the Well Written Dies #148534 for the perfect words! The background is the 2019-2021 In Color 6x6" Designer Series Paper in soft Purple Posy #149617. It pairs very well with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape card stocks! The heart frame is Stitched Be Mine Dies #148527.

When I first saw the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint #150691 in the Holiday Catalog, I thought of these Cotton stalks in the Country Home Stamp Set #147678. It's the PERFECT touch of fluffy texture!

The little bottle of magic, puffs up like: snow, cotton, lamb's wool, clouds or whipped cream!!

Experiment and practice before using this product on your finished design. For larger areas, you can apply the puffing liquid right from the tip of the bottle. I wanted small cottony puffs on my card so this worked well for me;

    1. SHAKE bottle.

    2. Apply a small puddle on scrap paper.

    3. Use a toothpick to dot liquid in small areas. Use less than you think because it will expand.

    4. Heat with a Heat Tool to puff. It grows as it puffs! LOTS OF FUN!!

The background is one piece of Mercury Glass Designer Acetate #150441 cut 5-1/2 X 4-1/4", then diagonally to make two cards. Old Olive card base.

Cajun Craze card base. Coloring is done with the amazing Stampin' Up! BLENDS alcohol markers! Try it!
