Shimmery, Glittery, Glazed Goodness

And last but not least...........the final set of cards I made from one shimmery, glittery, glazed piece of 12" x 12" DSP.

The first and last pictures of these single cards are almost identical.  I made a mistake when stamping the sentiment directly on the dsp (on the middle card) and had to improvise with a piece of aqua glittered swiss dot paper and some fussy cutting.  The ribbon I used on the middle card is about 26 years old but in pristine condition and it was perfect for this card and sentiment tag.

Now for a picture of the DSP that is the twin to the one I used to make all 15 of these cards:

The only parts I didn't use were the very bottom strip of colored snowflakes and the curvy merry Christmas words.

If you are visiting my blog for the first time, be sure to check out the previous 4 posts to see the other cards made with this dsp design.

Shimmery Dry-Embossed Card Mats for Christmas

I found some great 8 1/2" x 11" paper at Michaels that has a shimmery side.  It's called Precious Metals Cardstock Paper and it's by Recollections.  It comes with 10 each of 5 different colors.

Here's a couple of the cards I made using the shimmery white cardstock:

 

 

 

When the light hits the paper just right you can see it has a gold shimmer.  The snowflakes are punched from the same paper.

 

 

 

 

 

More photos later. Back to making more goodies for the craft fair.

Handmade Cards with Flowers and Butterflies

I've been perusing the internet trying to identify the DSP I used on these cards and in the previous post.  No luck so far but I will continue to look in case I stumble across it.

In the meantime, here are some more of the cards I made from it:

Tomorrow I will post more pictures of the cards in this set.  Thanks for stopping by for a look.

World Card Making Day and A Fresh Start

As those in the card making world know, today is World Card Making Day and this was as good a time as any to finally start blogging and posting some of my paper creations.

I have been working on a set of cards made from a couple of sheets of double-sided dsp (that I've had in my stash for a long time), but can't remember what it's called or who it is made by.

Here are three of the fifteen cards I've made so far:

 

 

 

Please forgive my poor photography skills.  I'm trying to figure out why the cards look bowed on the sides when they are straight.  Any suggestions as to how to alleviate that unwanted effect would be appreciated and can can be left in the comments section of this post.

 

I'll post a couple more pictures tomorrow.
