This first Wow card is made using the Make a Medallion stamp set and the Bermuda Bay glimmer paper. Anything that glimmers is a wow in my book. The stamp set was so easy to use for two reasons.
1. The stamps are photo polymer and there fore very easy to use.
2. The stamps are made to overlap each other creating a layered image.
Love it.
In this card I used some Silver Foil paper which made it a Wow for me. Any time I can used one of the foil papers it steps up my card. It was very hard to photograph the foil paper because it reflected the light so much. The bottom strip of paper is foil and the small star that is clipped onto the big star is foil.
I used the images from the stamp set called Tasty Trucks and embossed them in white on the large star.
Come back tomorrow to see how I used the inside the lines designer paper in two different ways.
I found this technique on Pinterest from a card made by B. J. Peters.
1. First stamp the image from the stamp set called Reverse Words, in Crushed Curry.
2. Next sponge some Melon Mambo over the Crushed Curry. Red plus Yellow equals orange.
3. Finally, sponge some Bermuda Bay over the Crushed Curry. Blue plus yellow equals green.
Love this technique. I am going to have to try it on some other large image stamps.
The technique I used for this card was...
1. Stamp all the lace images from the stamp set called Delicate Details on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.
2. Use the Bold Butterfly thinlit ontop of the stamped images to make a lace butterfly.
Come back tomorrow to see some Wow cards made with the set called Make a Medallion and the Tasty Truck stamp sets.

The technique for this week is called Paper Piecing. It is simple and involves just two steps.
1. Stamp your chosen image on a piece of cardstock.
2. Stamp the same image on a piece of designer paper.
3. Cut out the hat and the dress from the designer paper, and glue them onto the same parts of the cardstock image. You now have paper pieced a dress and hat onto the original design adding a bit of color.
Notice the stamped lace image. That is one of the free stamp sets you can order from the Sale a Bration catalog. It is called Delicate Details and can be used in so many ways. In this card it just finishes off the card in a feminine way.
Sale a Bration continues through the end of March. So, check out your wish list and find $50 worth of items and you can have Delicate Details as your free stamp set.
Come back tomorrow to see a WOW card made with the Beautiful You stamp set.
