Add a Little Shimmer

If you are looking to put the WOW factor in your Christmas projects, I have just the thing for YOU!

SHIMMER PAINT

Shimmer Paint makes any paper look shimmery, shiny and incredible!  It also works on fabric and wood.  It can be applied directly to the paper as in the card above or directly to the rubber as in the card below.  It can also be mixed with alcohol to produce a liquid you can spray on!

AND...if that wasn't enough...SHIMMER PAINT comes in THREE colors!  Champagne Mist (#116806), Frost White (#116854) and Platinum (#116807).  At only $5.95 a bottle, Shimmer Paints are very affordable and a LITTLE goes a LOOOONG way.  Order one or all three...just click HERE.

  

With this card, it is a bit hard to see the shimmer but the paint was applied to the tips of the snowflakes. 
It looks like I stamped with lighter ink but it's actually the shimmer that causes it to look that way!!

Materials you will need to make these two projects are:

Project One:

More Skinny Tin Ideas

As a child, I always enjoyed playing with paper dolls.  It was one of those toys that I took everywhere with me and also kept at my Nana's so I could play with them when I went to visit.  Therefore, it was only natural that when I started playing with this next project, I just couldn't stop.  I kept coming across scraps of paper that would make the perfect pair of PJ's or Dress Up outfits for my Magnetic Build a Bears.  (It's a great way to use up your scrap Designer Series Paper, too!)

 

 

I love the Skinny Tins and they are the perfect vehicle for the Magnetic Build a Bear.  They are also one of the items currently being offered on our Clearance Rack.  I know they won't be around long at the low price of only 99 cents so if you like these Skinny Tin projects, be sure to place your order now.  You can click HERE to place your online order 24/7 or feel free to call me if you do not have a personal demonstrator.   If you do have a personal demonstrator, please contact her to order this product.  Thank you.  Don't forget Hostess Benefits apply to any order over $150.
