Glistening Your Holiday Cards

We had our first snowfall of the season this past weekend. Guess who was the first one out there rolling around in it? Not me! Brandon will turn four years old this weekend and he loves the snow as you can tell from the picture.

When the sun came out Sunday afternoon the snow was glistening. It was the perfect inspiration for making a holiday card using the new Shimmer Paints from the Stampin' Up! holiday mini. I used Frost White on this card. I added a little paint on a sponge and then gently rubbed it over my embossed image and sentiment. I even put a little over the flower and leaves.

I must warn you, the Stampin' Up! Shimmer Paint comes in a very small bottle. When you order it from me, you'll think you've been ripped off. That's what I thought when I received my bottle. Rest assured, a little goes a really long way. I'm not exaggerating!

Don't forget, everything from the Stampin' Up! holiday mini can be ordered through January 4th. This includes all three colors of Shimmer Paint. After that, it's history!

Stampin' Up! is really coming up with some fabulous new products for 2010!!!! We're talking clear stamps and a new punch design. Stay tuned for some sneak peeks!

KISS Challenge

Are you wondering what a KISS challenge is? KISS stands for Keep It Simple, Sweetie! It's the new challenge over at the Pals Paper Arts blog! I like simple!

My KISS creation today is for Christmas. To keep it simple, I used only two Stampin' Up colors - Whisper White and Real Red. I created an embossed background using the new Stampin' Up! Petals-A-Plenty Impressions Folder which can be found on page 21 in the new holiday mini catalog. This folder deeply embosses the perfect background setting for any of your holiday creations.

The stamp is from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Best collection which is a hostess level 1 set. I love this set of stamps because it includes beautiful greetings for Valentines Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas.

Are you starting your holiday card making yet? It's never too early to get a head start. Have fun with it and enjoy the new products SU! is offering for the holidays. The Delightful Decorations stamp set and Ornament punch have been a HUGE seller. You'll see me create more with this set in the coming weeks. I did post one card with this set which you can view HERE.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting my blog!
