Grandma's Rocking Chair - February 2, 2014 - Review Glimmer Paper

Grandma's Rocking Chair - Review of Stampin' Up! Glimmer Paper

I love the Glimmer Paper.  It comes in three colors:

Silver (124005)

Champagne (127885)

Red (121790)

At first when I saw it I thought it would be getting glitter all over, just like the cheap stuff I had gotten from that big M store.  Since I really love glitz I got some.  Silver is the first one I got.

It comes 2 sheets (12 x 12) to a package for $4.95 so not to bad a price.

I took it out and took a punch out and punched expecting to have it crumble and most of the Glitter coming off, but no that was not the case. it punched beautifully.

I had to create more with it.  So I did.

Then I learned that you could color the Silver Glimmer paper and I was then hooked.  I had to have more and more.  My only complaint about this Glimmer paper is that then don't put more than 2 sheets in a package.

Yes it does shed some but not bad and it does not leave bald spots on the paper.  It does not crack when punched or cut out with the Big Shot. It is nice and thick and beautiful.  I love it.  

Here is what Stampin' Up! says about Glimmer Paper.

Stamping in the Mail Class for February 2014 - Horse Frontier

This month I am Featuring Horse Frontier as our Stamping in the Mail Stamp Set.

You will receive these Three Cards fully made for you.

Price of the class is - Wood Mounted Stamp Set $39.   Clear Mounted Stamp Set $33.  You will get all three cards fully made, the Stamp Set Horse Frontier, supplies (cardstock and embellishments) to complete another set of cards, and instructions.  Just e-mail me to purchase class and I will bill your through Pay-Pal  e-mail marysstamping at gmail.com or we can arrange another form of payment.

Here is a closer look at the three Cards.

This is my Simple Card which can be used for most occasions and is a great Man Card.

I call this my horses in the Field Card.  Any sentiment you would like can go inside.  I love the grass.

This card uses the Reflection Technic, Masking and sponging.  Again great for any occasion and a super man's card.

Would you like to get inspiration in the mail, along with a stamp set? Well join me for Stamping in the Mail.  You will receive a Stamp Set, 3 finished cards using the stamp set, Step by Step Instructions for each of the cards and supplies to make each of the cards.

Here’s how it works

The First of each month I will post (http://marysstampinghappenings.blogspot.com, newsletter and https://www.facebook.com/MaryTrautnerStampinUp ) the stamp set and projects for that month. The Stamp set will be a current Stamp Set between $14.95 and $16.95.  You will receive 3 finished full cards using that set, instruction for making those cards and enough supplies that you can also finish each of those cards on your own. Cost including mailing to you will be $33 for clear Mount and $39 for wood mount*.  If you have this stamp set you may substitute another stamp set of same price but you must let me know when you opt in each month or you will receive the stamp set for that month.  You do not have to make a long term commitment you can participate month by month. But if you order 3 Consecutive months in your fourth month order you will get a present worth between $4.95 and $5.95.
