holographic trio cards

holographic trio cards

Holographic paper is pretty cool and getting three different types in one pack is even more fun!

I set out last week to have a play with the Holographic Trio 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper and the cards are something special. The light plays with Holographic paper and creates a rainbow of refracted light! Hard to photograph but stunning to look at! Holographic paper is made by embossing a pattern or design and then coating the paper in a very thin layer of metal or foil. The resulting sheet has a distinctive iridescent sheen where the embossed design can be seen at certain angles. FUN!!!!

Below are a number of cards I made using the three different types of Holographic paper featured in the Holographic Trio (#151744) This comes as 6 single sided sheets, 2 each of 3 holographic patterns: Berry Burst, holographic and Starry Sky.

The Stars at Night bundle is the perfect collection of products to use with the Holographic Trio! I used the patterned holographic paper in the hybrid embossing folder with coordinating dies and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss mounted it on Balmy Blue cardstoick base and popped up the middle star on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a fussy cut sentiment and retired White Glittered Organdy ribbon.
This next card uses the Berry Burst Holographic paper from the Trio in a 4″ square. The Berry Burst base is covered with a Basic White layer that is embossed with the Stars at Night embossing folder – I die cut the eleven point star out of the Basic White layer and the holographic piece in the center, adhered the white star to the holographic negative space and added a sentiment piece to the card bottom. Iridescent rhinestones and Glittered Organdy ribbon finish off this flashy card!
I used the Hybrid embossing folder with out the die inserts on the plain holographic paper and adhered it to the top of the Azure Afternoon card base. Pretty enough to stand on it’s own with the new Silver and White Sheer Ribbon and a simple banner sentiment piece in Azure Afternoon ink.
My last sample uses the Starry Sky holographic paper with the thirteen point star popped up over the Silver and White Sheer ribbon knot. I mounted the Winter Meadow DSP square over a slightly larger holographic square that I stamped in Misty Moonlight a Sparkling Snowflake and the Make the season sparkle sentiment. I two stepped stamped the largest snowflake from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp on the Basic White cardstock base and mounted the square in the card base center. I added Iridescent Rhinestones to the center of the holographic star and around the sentiment to finish off the Sparkle!
This paper is a real WOW factor! Try it today and go create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

mini catalog sneak peak – did you get yours?

mini catalog sneak peak – did you get yours?

After 22 years of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator you would think I wouldn’t get so excited for a new catalog launch! LOL! I always think they cannot possibly come up with new stamps that I HAVE to HAVE!!! But this company is awesome and they out do themselves all the time! And this time they REALLY outdid themselves! This upcoming September to December mini catalog is one of the best I can remember. I received my pre-order this week and I couldn’t wait to get creating!

I have so many ideas and below are just a few samples! If you are not currently working with a demonstrator and would like me to send you a new mini catalog please message me and I will mail one out asap!

The first suite I took out and played with was the Joy of Christmas Suite – the whole suite is lovely, the dies are fabulous and the papers are classic! There are two stamp and die bundles in the suite, 2 packs of DSP, Loose Holly Gems and Sequins embellishments pack and Black and Vanilla Gingham ribbon. I loved it all and needed to get it to show you some wonderful projects!
The first card is a simple card using the dies from the Christmas Classics Bundle and ink blending for the background in Real Red and Shaded Spruce in true Christmas colors!

This next card uses non traditional Christmas colors in the same bundle but a different die in Blended Ink in Coastal Cabana, the background of the base and layered cardstock is embossed with a new embossing folder called Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and embellished with the Tinsel gems Four-Pack.
The other stamp bundle in this suite is called Joy of Noel and the first card I make with this card was for Wednesday’s Blog Post and I cased the card on the cover of the mini catalog! The second card I made was this one below that starts with a Poppy Parade cardstock base, stamped with the NOEL stamp in coordinating Poppy Parade ink with die cuts colored with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers in Lost Lagoon, Shaded Spruce and Poppy Parade. The die cut letters of Noel are popped up on Mini Dimensionals in More Dazzle 6″ x 6″ Specialty Paper and embellished with the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
This next card is a simply stamped Christmas card from the same Joy of Noel bundle opting to only color the berries in Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write marker and add the Noel die cut letters in Smoky Slate cardstock with Black and white Gingham ribbon and Adhesive-Backed Sparkle gems.
The next set of cards used the Sparkling Snowflakes Punch bundle. The card below is a peek-a-boo card in Coastal Cabana with a window die cut from the new Deckled Circles die set containing 14 concentric circles with a Deckled edge.
I love this color combination for snowflake cards – Coastal Cabana Gorgeous Grape and Azure Afternoon! This card below features all three of these colors in a whimsical Winter card on a Azure Afternoon cardstock base with a die cut fromthe Christmas Classics Bundle and the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack as the sparkle!
This next card also uses the Sprakling Snowflakes stamp set and all the colors as the previous card but also incorporates the gorgeous Silver and White Sheer Ribbon as it’s focal embellishment!
I fell in love with the Winter Meadow 12″ x 12″ Designer Series paper – the soft winter scenes were irresistible to me and I bought the whole suite because of the paper!
This first card from this suite features the stamp set, the dies and the paper. I added Tinsel Gems and Misty Moonlight Inner Braid ribbon for the embellishments.
This next card from this suite uses the soft Pebbled Path hued winter scene with a deer in the foreground, I added Pebbled Path ribbon, In Color Decorative Dots and a Stylish Shapes circle die with the Winter Wishes sentiment from the Winter Meadow stamp set. A super easy and elegant card!
The last card from this suite features the Misty Moonlight infused watercolored images of trees in a 4″ square with the Misty Moonlight Inner Braid Ribbon and the Neutral Adhesive-backed sequins around my favorite sentiment from this set!

I continue to create from this pre-order haul and will continue to share in upcoming Facebook and blog posts.

Let me know if you have not received a mini catalog yet and I will resent one in the mail, and if you are new to stamping or to me and would like me to become your demonstrator, please feel free to message me!

Go and make a list of your favorites from this catalog and I cannot wait to see what your list entails and what you must have first! Now go create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!
