I was so excited to learn and try out this tip on how to make your very own shimmery paper! It was super easy and fun and now I want to make all my paper shimmery! :-) Of course I won't but I just love the look of this!
The base for both of these cards is Soft Suede cardstock. For the card on the left I used Petal Pink cardstock. I sporadically applied about 4 drops of Stampin' Up's! Frost White Shimmer Paint to the Petal Pink cardstock and then using a blender sponge (makeup sponges work also), I spread it evenly over one side of the cardstock. You want to spread it fairly quickly because it does dry pretty fast. You then have a beautiful piece of shimmery paper! I used the Seashells Embossing Folder out of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. So pretty! And I'm this look would work for just about any embossing folder if not all of them.
For the card on the right I used Calypso Coral cardstock with the Frost White Shimmer Paint. The sentiments from both cards were stamped in Early Espresso and came from the A Touch of Ink stamp set in the January-February Sale-a-bration catalog which comes FREE with any $50 purchase. For the card on the left, I die cut the sentiment pieces with the Stitched So Sweetly dies in Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla, and added some shimmery ribbon, some twine and some Opal Rounds. For the card on the right, I used the Tasteful Labels dies in Very Vanilla and Bermuda Bay and added some shimmery ribbon as well. I adhered the sentiment pieces with dimensionals. I hope this inspires you to try out making your very own shimmery paper! You won't regret it!
