Display cards from November Stamp Club

These were cards that were on display (we didn't make them, but I called attention to them) at November Stamp Club Some of these cards I had seen on splitcoaststampers and liked. Others are just samples. For the Make 'n Takes we did at November Stamp Club - see 11/13/09 post.

This card and the one below were made to show the Shimmer Paint. Mixed Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint with alcohol in a mister bottle (about 3/4 full of alcohol and less than a teaspoonful of shimmer paint). Then spray the completed card. It doesn't show on the card above, but you can see it a little bit on the card below. It really gives is a pretty sparkle all over. The whole front of both cards has been sprayed and shimmers. I tried several times to scan it so the sparkle will show, but it doesn't show up. Really need to see it in real life.
I read some more about the alcohol -- if you can find rubbing alcohol that is 90% or more it is better. The higher percentage of alcohol, the less water and therefore the less the paper will curl. If you make this shimmer spray, you will need a fine mister. Also each time you use it, you will need to shake up the mister because the shimmer paint settles to the bottom. Everybody really liked the shimmer it gave the card. The stamped (in Bravo Burgundy ink) ornament is from the Tree Trimmings set in the regular catalog, and the Peace, Love and Joy sentiment is from All Holidays. Cardstock is Whisper White, Brushed Gold, Handsome Hunter, and Bravo Burgundy. Burgundy was embossed with Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder in the Big Shot. Gold elastic cord from the Holiday Mini is adhered above the ornament. The ornament below is from the same set, heat embossed in gold.

Whisper White cardstock has been embossed with Stampin' Up!'s Floral Bouquet embossing folder in the Big Shot. Then a piece of red card front was run through the Big Shot with a Texturz Plate from Stampin' Up! Backgrounds I on page 195. Then I punched the ornament out of the texturized Real Red cardstock and tied some of the gold elastic cord around the top. Since I only needed 1/8" border of the red to show behind the white layer, I used the piece of red from which I punched the ornament. Stamped Season's Greetings from Snow Swirled. Colored in the centers of the embossed flowers on the white with Real Red Stampin' Up! marker.

Made this card a year or two ago when I was doing a Punch Class to show use of the Round Tab Punch. This is a Criss Cross card -- horizontal. The directions for this card are on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com under Resources. I think the color is Ruby Red and Ruby Red designer series paper.

I had a red Dasher on red left over from when I was making the sample make 'n take Dasher card and I had left over Handsome Hunter card front from the Tree Trimming cards above, so just put those together. The Handsome Hunter really makes the red Dasher stand out, I think.

This was another napkin I tried the Freezer Paper Napkin Transfer method with. This was a cocktail sized napkin. The bottom and right side had another orange line border and more brown, but I had to cut that part off so the turkey would fit better. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes on the Modern Label Punch.

The leaves on the two cards below (they were scanned side by side instead of two separate scans) were also napkin transfer using freezer paper. The napkins that had the pretty yellow/orange that I used to demonstrate the Napkin Transfer technique (see 11/13 post) had only that one part of the napkin in that color - the other 3 squares on the napkin were leaves with a white background. By adhering them to the freezer paper, I was then able to cut the leaves out -- even the intriciate points and the stem - and then glue them to a card front.
