Technique Tuesday: Brayered Specialty Paper

Some of you may remember... Stampin' Up! used to have this "specialty paper" that looked all white, but had a design on it and it was almost a shimmer type paper.  That was the paper used to make this gorgeous background.







Throwback Thursday: Altered Brown Paper Bags

Who says you can't make a brown paper bag look like a fancy gift bag!  These are 2 designs from my old stamping class projects.  They certainly would work today for a pretty gift bag!












Christmas Inspiration from the Past: Globe Snowman Card

Over the years I've made so many Christmas projects for my classes and for friends.  And I've collected so many beautiful cards from swaps.

As I look back, I realize all these projects are so lovely and it would be great to see them again and get inspired.  I will randomly begin featuring Christmas Inspirations from Christmas Past.  Hope this inspires you.







Technique Tuesday: Sparkly Stained Glass

This technique is definitely sparkly.  With the right colors, this could make a great 3D Christmas Ornament.



Throwback Thursday: Stationery Box

Today's Throwback idea is from many years ago.  I bought these clear stationery boxes on-line and this was my class project.  We put the boxes together and filled them with 5 cards and 5 envelopes.  This made a wonderful teacher's gift.














Technique Tuesday: Striped Brayer Technique

This technique is very cool and it's not as messy as you would think.  This would make a great background for any card.  Don't think it's listed on the directions, but you have to first wrapped 2-3 rubberbands on your brayer to get that look.
