Yes, I am in love with all the Shimmer Paints reintroduced in the 2018 Holiday Catalog on pg.38! Stampin’ Up! sold them several years ago and I bought several bottles of the Frost White Shimmer Paint when they were retired. I am so excited that they are once again offered.
This photo is the beginning of making swap cards for On Stage in Orlando when Stampin’ Up! will end a year of celebrating their 30th anniversary with a huge party. I have sponged Frost White Shimmer Paint onto the evergreen tree stamp from the Winter Woods stamp set and then stamped it on Mossy Meadow cardstock. I’m making 32 identical cards for this swap so have stamped it 32 times pus a couple extra for good measure. The next step will be to cut them all out with the corresponding die.
When making a large number of the same card, you do it assembly line style. You cut all the card bases, cut all of a second layer, stamp all the images and cut out those needed to be cut out, tie all the bows you might be using, and stamp your greeting on all the top layers of the card front before putting everything together. Then you assemble all the cards step by step. This is a much more efficient way to do it. And now with the Stamparatus (146276), you can position your stamps on the plates once and put each piece of cardstock to be stamped into position, ink the stamp and stamp it then remove the cardstock and put the next piece in without having to move the stamp. It’s much faster!
I will share the finished card with you in a couple of days. Be sure to come visit again! You can order the Winter Woods bundle by clicking on the images below.
