Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks + Vacation Stamping School Highlights

Saturday marked the 14th annual demonstrator training event that I have helped organized. Formerly Spring Into Stamping and now called Vacation Stamping School, we moved our event to late summer when Stampin' Up! starting holding On Stage in April. The timing works out perfectly as it gives us an opportunity to train our team and demonstrator friends on the upcoming Holiday Catalog. 

It's a full day of stamping  and sharing -- from morning and afternoon demonstration fairs (with a total of 10 booths to view), make and takes, and main stage presentations -- I think it's safe to say that everyone left feeling inspired and motivated as we prepare for the launch of the Holiday Catalog next week. Here are a few photos that capture some of my favorite things:

Terri Gaines, a Million Dollar Sales Achiever, was our guest speaker this year. She shared her 12 Weeks Before Christmas project collection with us and WOW!! Each project was amazing! Here is one of my favorites. I created the half-circle pop up card four years ago and was so excited to see Terri breathe new life into this card design with the Let It Snow Suite and new Snowman Builder Punch. Click here to see my original tutorial.

My favorite technique was one shared by Linda Yearsley. She embossed the colored foil sheets with the new Winter Knit embossing folder, applied Versamark ink, and heat embossed with different metallic embossing powders. The result was stunning!! I can't wait to try this technique!

Karla Endris created a beautiful display for her demonstration booth. Look at this amazing "Gather" banner!

Doesn't this always happen?! My Holiday Catalog wish list grew -- a lot -- after seeing so many amazing projects, like the snow globe cards and ornaments that Rachel Chamberlain shared. I didn't think I needed that bundle!

Have you seen the Feels Like Frost Designer Paper? This 6x6 paper pack is gorgeous with photo-realistic images on one side and metallic designs on the others. Rachel used this paper on the card above and Ramona Simpson created the card below. Ramona also shared how she added color to the metallic side to make the paper more versatile. Wow!!

This is just the tip of the iceberg! What an amazing day! I hope you'll join us next year for Vacation Stamping School! Not a demonstrator yet?

Guest Artist: Sandy Jacobson + 5 Glossy Cardstock Techniques

I am always inspired by what Sandy Jacobson creates! She is so talented! Sandy outdid herself for her Vacation Stamping School demonstration in August by showcasing not one or two, but MANY techniques using Glossy Cardstock -- which is back again in the latest Annual Catalog! Check some of Sandy's amazing projects!

Sandy showed many ways to spread color on to glossy cardstock. Because the cardstock is coated, it takes longer for the ink to set in and dry, which means that you have more time to smear, paint, and manipulate the ink. After you apply ink using an AquaPainter or sponge dauber, use water or alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer to spread the color. The result will be different every time you try it!

Here are some more cards created by Sandy and her tips for some different techniques:

 

Galaxy Technique: (inspired by Maria Willis)

1. Use sponge dauber to sponge glossy cardstock with Daffodil Delight across the middle of the cardstock.
2. Next, sponge Berry Burst around the Daffodil Delight and overlapping a little bit.
3. Sponge Rich Razzleberry around the Berry Burst.
4. Next, add Dapper Denim around the edges and over some of the other colors.
5. Lastly, add Black ink by starting at the edges and working inward. Cover some of the other colors to it appears that the other colors are peeking through from behind.
6. Flick some rubbing alcohol on to the cardstock using your finger or an AquaPainter.
7. Flick Wink of Stella across the background to add sparkle.

 

Polished Stone Technique:

1. Saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and add about 3 drops of re-inker. Dab the cotton ball over the glossy cardstock.
2. Add additional colors if desired and allow to dry.

 

Retro Brayer Color Blocks Technique:

1. Stamp your images on the Glossy Cardstock.
2. Select 3 colors within the same color family (a light, medium, and dark color). 
3. Brayer your cardstock with your lightest color all over. 
4. Add a couple small sticky notes to cover 1-2 spots of cardstock.
5. Brayer over your cardstock with the medium color. 
6. Add 1-2 more small post it note.
7. Brayer the cardstock using your darkest color. 
8. Remove your post it notes and embellish your card.

 

Tip: Sponge ink onto Glossy Cardstock then spritz with water to get a speckled appearance.

Wax Paper Resist Technique:

Supplies: embossing folder of your choice, a piece of waxed paper, a piece of cardstock, glossy cardstock, sponge daubers, ink pads, and an iron. 

1. Cut the waxed paper to the size of your embossing folder and run it through your Big Shot. 
2. Place the embossed waxed paper on top of your glossy cardstock. Add regular cardstock on the top and iron.  It won’t take long until the wax melts onto your glossy cardstock. 
3. Remove the glossy cardstock from the embossing folder and sponge with the color(s) of your choice.

Guest Artist: Ramona Simpson + Tarnished Metal Technique

I am a simple stamper. I don't like messy techniques. While the Tarnished Metal Technique isn't really THAT messy, it's definitely something that I have never tried! I was captivated by Ramona Simpson's demonstration at Vacation Stamping School in August. I love how this technique looks different every time you do it. No two pieces will ever be the same and that makes these handmade cards even more special!

Check out these amazing backgrounds that Ramona created with the Tarnished Metal technique! Give Ramona some love over on her Facebook Page and check out a few more Tarnished Metal photos at Handmade By Ramona.

You'll need some foil cardstock, Versamark ink, a variety of metallic embossing powders, and a Heat Tool for this technique. Here's how to do it:

Tarnished Metal Technique:

1. Lightly smear permenant black ink (such as Staz-On or Archival Basic Black ink) over the top of Foil cardstock. Allow to dry completely.  
2.  Run the cardstock through the Big Shot using any Embossing Folder. (optional)
3. Use VersaMark direct to paper (or use a sponge dauber) to lightly dab the cardstock. Apply metallic embossing powder and heat to emboss. Repeat this process with additional embossing powders.  
4. Use Versamark and stamp onto foil sheet as desired.  Use another embossing powder to highlight the stamped image.  
5. When happy with result, lightly go over the top of the cardstock with the black ink pad again to give it a tarnished look.  Allow to dry completely before completing your project.
