Glue Arts Work - Lots to Share

It's been a while since I shared my work that has been featured on the Glue Arts Blog, and I wanted to make sure I shared them here too!

This week ON THE GLUE ARTS BLOG, they are showcasing projects with Pink Paislee.  (I'll show mine tomorrow). And they always have goodies to give away for a lucky person who leaves a comment over there.

All full projects with instructions are on the Glue Arts Blog.

CHA Releases Spellbinders Edgeabilities and Unity Stamps!

Two companies that I adore happen to work together - I love that.

Unity Stamp Co. has a bunch of new amazing stamps coming out for CHA Summer and Spellbinders has an incredible number of beautiful die templates.  Today, I'll share with you some cards I've been whipping up to share with you some of the new releases from both companies.  We had a postal strike here in Canada, so I missed the boat on shipping new art to Unity for CHA, so I am sharing some with you now.

Spellbinders, talk about INNOVATION with the new Edgeabilities.

Make sure you watch the videos from Spellbinders (see at end of post), showing you the innovative new EDGEABILITIES.

Below, you can see some simple cards, that when you add a decorative edge and border - makes the world of difference.  I loved these new die templates from the first moment I saw them.  And if you own more than one set (of 3), you can mix and match for many possibilities.

Thank you, Spellbinders Paper Arts, for sponsoring this contest!

I’m thrilled to share two projects using LF-132 Grand Rectangles, LF-133 Grand Scalloped Rectangles, and a set that is part of the new Samantha Walker Designer Collection S5-073 Orchard Harvest Tags and Accents!  Below you will see two projects made with die templates from all three sets.

A Back to School Layout

This layout came together easily once I die cut the frame using LF-132 Grand Rectangles and LF-133 Grand Scalloped Rectangles (as seen in the video) and then popped it up on the layout using 3D foam.  Once the photo and frame were in place, all that was left to do was embellish.  I used the leaves, labels, and flourish that come with S5-073 Orchard Harvest Tags and Accents to finish off the layout.  

Note:  All cutting and embossing was done using the Grand Calibur™ Machine.

Enamelz - The HOT New Embossing Powder!

I am excited to share with you that Shimmerz has a brand new product line coming out called Enamelz.  I have played with these and they are smoking hot!  I especially love Sparkliscious - you will see why when I can share some pics!  It is so shimmery, yet transparent and it can crack easily!  Am I sharing too much?

They come in 5 brilliant metallic colors: 

• Sparkliscious
• Fake Bake
• Molten Metal
• Gold Digger
• Silver Fox.

What are they exactly?  Shimmerz Enamelz are shimmering embossing powders that are luxuriously thick, incredibly shimmery, and when heated create a smooth lacquered effect.  Add awe-inspiring texture to your projects by using over top of Shimmerz Paints, Pearlz, Spritz and Vibez for unique and beautiful effects!

You can:
*  Stamp impressions in it.
*  Layer colors
*  Create mosaic tile effects
*  Use over any Shimmerz products

AND THERE IS MORE!!! 11 lucky fans will have a chance to win a jar of
Enamelz! Here's what you have to do...***TO WIN SOME NEW ENAMELZ***:

Starting July 12th, leave a comment on our VLOG, on the Release video post (coming July 12th), and then post our new Enamlez logo somewhere on your Facebook or personal blog.
