Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration: Punch Bunch Friday & Ice Cream Parlor

I'm so happy that Stampin' Up! included the Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper and Quick Accents as one of the free Sale-a-Bration items you can choose when you place a $50 order now through March 31st.  It's great for card making and scrapbooking too!

 

Today I paired the Punch Bunch "for you" scallop flower image with the Ice Cream Parlor DSP for a same layout, but two different look cards. 

 

My favorite is the second one, it just makes me smile.  Which one is your favorite, the 1st one - Peach Parfait, or the second one, Melon Mambo?

#SSC033 Thursday Challenge: Wizard of Oz and Glimmer Paper!

It's Thursday already...I can't believe another week has flown by!  Are you ready for a new Challenge Thursday.  Today's challenge is a "Musical Mania" challenge, #SSC033! 

Our inspiration for this week's challenge is the musical, "The Wizard of Oz."  Specifically Dorothy's Ruby Slippers. Use Stampin' Up!'s new Red Glimmer Paper (or add glitter to red card stock or red stamped images). 

 

Here's my card that features Stampin' Up! Red Glimmer Paper (from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog)...

 
 

The technique I used on the "background" piece is called Herringbone Technique.  I wanted to do this technique because it kind of reminds of the pattern of the yellow brick road.  I love the way it turned out - woohoo!  

Wanna learn how to do the Herribone Technique?  I have a "How'd She DO That? Video on this technique and you can view it by clicking HERE.   

So, have you gotten your Red Glimmer Paper (#121790) yet?  It's SO much fun to play with.  It comes in (2) 12x12 sheets.  It's easy to cut, punch or run through the Big Shot!  Plus...it doesn't brush off or make a mess.  Get yours today!
