Through STAMPtember®, we hope to inspire, educate, and celebrate the fun of stamping and creating! In the intervening years, we’ve also added special promotions and kits to the celebration. Beginning in 2010 by Simon Says Stamp, it has grown to become our biggest and most exciting event of the year!ĭuring STAMPtember®, some of the industry’s most-loved brands offer EXCLUSIVE limited-edition stamp sets that are ONLY available at. Then I placed the paper back in the box, sprinkled it with shimmer powder, and spritzed it with water.STAMPtember® is a month-long celebration of stamping, crafting, and card making. I lifted up the stencil and heat-embossed the paper with clear embossing powder. The spray didn’t smooth out as I thought it would…definitely needs more experimentation! 😉įinally my last card gives me the effect that I expected the distress resist spray to give me! I laid the stencil over a piece of watercolor paper and then pressed a versamark pad ALL over the paper. You can still see the stencil but it’s definitely a much muddier look. After it was dry I sprinkled it with the shimmer powder and spritzed it. I laid the stencil on top of watercolor paper, sprayed it liberally with the resist spray, and then lifted the stencil and let the resist spray dry. I can see how that would be fun to use with certain designs but it didn’t work here. I decided to try using the distress resist spray with the stencil and I’m not a fan. This was my second card and, honestly, probably my least favorite. I trimmed that down to a label and adhered it to the card with foam mounting tape. After it had a few seconds to move around I lifted the stencil and blotted off the excess water and set it aside to dry.ĭue to the nature of the powder the results are not perfect but I love the hint of the stencil with that shimmery color all around it! To finish the card I stamped a sentiment from Playful Messages onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.

Then I spritzed the paper with water and allowed the powder to spread out and move across the paper. 😉 I simply laid my stencil on top of a piece of watercolor paper and sprinkled some of the Atlantis Burst powder over it. Whenever I use products like these powders I place everything inside an old box so that the powder is contained. My first card is probably my favorite and my most successful use of the shimmer powders (and honestly, it was the easiest, too!). As in, my mojo up and left the building…so when I was feeling a little better I decided to just try playing with something new to see if it helped spark anything! I’ve had these Tonic Shimmer Powders for awhile but hadn’t found time to play with them until now! They’re similar to colorburst powders but have a gorgeous metallic shimmer which I really love! I tried them three different ways (some slightly more successful than others) and ended up with three very different looking cards! I’ve been sick for a few weeks and it really took a toll on my creative mojo.

I’ve already shared a card using the new release here and I’m sharing a trio of easy cards today using different techniques to feature one of the new release stencils with shimmer powder!
