Fast & Fabulous Friday Sneak Peek #4 and Graceful Glass Kit Offer

Woo Hoo - It's Fast & Fabulous Friday Time!!
That means the last installment of my Graceful Glass Card Kit offer - you really *WANT* to pre-order this kit my friends!  Take a look at what I have for you today...

 
I kept these cards simple because honestly, I promised you could create them fairly quickly.  So here goes...

Card #1 uses a panel of the Graceful Glass Designer vellum (there are so many GORGEOUS patterns in this vellum), that is coloured very quickly with markers.

The butterfly from the Painted Glass set was stamped, coloured and cut out using the butterfly thinlit from the Stained Glass thinlits.  And the sentiment was stamped, then mounted.  Pretty easy, huh?

Add a few pearls because after all...why not?  Voila!  Gorgeous.  But easy too!

Card # 2 is also deceptively quick to put together, once you have all the pieces cut out.   

Adhere the piece of Graceful Glass Designer Vellum inside the Stained Glass "window", and colour the dots where the pattern meets.  Also colour in various sections of the Stained Glass diecuts.  You can choose to colour as many or as few of them as you like. And using as many colours as you like.  Your choice.  

It doesn't get much easier, huh?
Stamp the sentiment from the Painted Glass set on a vellum banner, and adhere all the pieces to a white mat embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder.

Easy peasy and gorgeous!

Fast & Fabulous Friday Sneak Peek #2 and Graceful Glass Kit Offer

Howdy Friends!

It's time for another Fast and Fabulous Friday and a reminder about the extra-special offer that I introduced last week!  If you didn't get a chance to sign up yet, don't worry, you still have that opportunity.  But first, today's Fast and Fabulous Friday cards! 

Today's Fast & Fabulous cards are truly that.  Fast. And FAB-U-LOUS!  (don't forget to read further to find out about the special deal!)

And for today it's all about the Stained Glass thinlit dies.

Check these out.  No stamping.  Just cardstock and embellishments to create these beauties.

For the first card I adhered the diecut pieces and added a Tinted Faceted button and some black twine.  The embossed background mat adds that extra level of eye-appeal but really, this is just a super-fast, super lovely card.

Card #2 is even simpler - no embossing and no twine!   Just the addition of one of the new In Colors (Call Me Clover) to add some pizzazz!

Full disclosure - one of the reasons these cards are so fast and easy to create is that I used our adhesive sheets when I diecut the Stained Glass thinlit pieces.  

No fuss or muss in trying to get some sort of 'glue' onto the thin lines of the diecuts.  No sir.  Just peel the backing off the diecut and adhere that gorgeous piece directly to the card.  Makes putting the card together super easy peasy.

I'll say it again....
Fast.  And.  Fabulous!

Now for details about the very special deal I am offering.   Every Friday during the month of May I present TWO new Fast & Fabulous cards highlighting the GORGEOUS Graceful Glass suite from the upcoming Annual Catalogue that goes live on June 1. Last week I focused on using only the Painted Glass stamp sets (see those cards HERE). Today I focus on diecuts using the Stained Glass thinlits.  Come back next Friday where I'll showcase the beautiful vellum. And week 4 I'll show you what you can achieve when you use them all together.

Fast & Fabulous Friday Sneak Peek #1 and Graceful Glass Kit Offer

Hello My Friends!

It's Fast and Fabulous Friday time and I have an extra-special offer that you won't want to miss!

First though - let's take a look at the gorgeous Fast & Fabulous installments for today (don't forget to read further to find out about the special deal!)

First up is this super-fast, super gorgeous card that makes me realize how happy I am that Blackberry Bliss is returning!

Quite simply, does it get any easier?  Just some versamark and white embossing powder and the beautiful rose image from the Painted Glass stamp set (available June 1 in the upcoming Stampin' Up! catalogue) and there you have it.  Fast. Fabulous. And Fun!

Or try my other, equally fabulous card: versamark ink, white embossing powder, and the butterfly image from the totally gorgeous Painted Glass stamp set.  You can create this beauty in the blink of an eye. Isn't the elegant font of the sentiment just perfect for this card?

Since I stamped on paler Pool Party cardstock for this second card, I decided to make, the embossed images pop by sponging lightly with Pool Party ink. Add a few well-placed pearls and Ta da!  A very quick and utterly gorgeous card. 
Fast.  And.  Fabulous!

Now for the very special deal I mentioned above.

Every Friday during the month of May I will present TWO new Fast & Fabulous cards. And each Friday I'll highlight something different from the Graceful Glass product suite (Painted Glass stamp set, Stained Glass thinlits, Graceful Glass Designer Vellum) available in the new Annual Catalogue that goes live on June 1).

Week 3 will highlight the designer vellum, and week 4 will show you what you can achieve when you use them all together.

Fast and Fabulous Friday - Fresh Floral Thank You

Hello My Friends

A Fast and Fabulous Friday post for you.  Where I bring you a card that takes only a heartbeat to create!

On this card, the gorgeous designer paper does ALL the work!  I am so sad that the Fresh Florals DSP is retiring.  I LOVE this paper and if I were you, I would buy some from the online store RIGHT NOW before it is all gone!

Here's how easy it is to create this card:

1. Adhere the gorgeous Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper (3 5/8 x 4 7/8") to a piece of white cardstock  (4 x 5 1/4").
2. Glue this to a Fresh Fig card base.
3.  Stamp a thank you sentiment onto a whisper white strip (1 x 4") using the One Big Meaning stamp set.
4. Use the Triple Banner Punch to flag the end of the sentiment piece.
5. Sponge the edges of the banner and attach it to the card.

Full Disclosure - the first version I made, I did not sponge the edges of the sentiment banner.  Still looks great.  But the sponged edges really make that piece pop, don't you think?  So for the extra 20 seconds, I think sponging is worth the time put into the details, don't you?

The One Big Meaning stamp set is also retiring.  Sigh.  I make more Thank You cards than anything else - ANYTHING else (I am so totally blessed to need to thank so many people in my life!).  It is retiring too and I really think you should pick up a set before it goes, don't you?

Don't Forget the retiring products that are all being offered for the LAST TIME right now.  Feel free to visit my online store (HERE) to place your order and use this hostess code (YCVGTHNF) to qualify for a gift from me -->  I will send you FIVE FREE handmade cards when you use the hostess code with your order!

Or contact me and I can place your order for you.

Hope you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!   Each and every one of you!    God Bless,  Cynthia   <><

Fast and Fabulous Friday - So Fast and Easy Waterfront

Dear Friends

This card is Fast.  

This card is Fabulous.

This card is so easy you won't believe it!

I CASed it from a card on Pinterest, but mine is even faster and easier.   Believe it or not.

No cutting.  No layers.  Just stamp away.

My Waterfront work of art is a one-layer card using Stampin' Up! thick Whisper White. 
I stamped the mountains from the Waterfront stamp set in Crumb Cake (the ones further behind are stamped off once) and the sun in So Saffron.  The grass was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and the trees in Garden Green.  The water was stamped in Pool Party then again in Dapper Denim. Then the grass in front was stamped in Pear Pizazz and the dots were stamped in Sahara Sand.
For the final detail, I used the mountain stamp with Soft Sky ink to create faint clouds.

Lots of colours. Lots of stamps. But no positioning or even being careful.  The watercolour effect of these images means you can stamp them pretty much anywhere and it all looks glorious. Everyone will think you are a true artist!

Add a sentiment to create a Sympathy Card

Don't forget to add a sentiment to the inside of your card!

This is the type of card that you can make in duplicate (or triplicate!) so you have a great card ready for any occasion, when you need it.  Leave the sentiment off like I did, then add one later to suit your needs.

Unfortunately, I seem to need a lot of sympathy cards lately so this card was turned into one using sentiments from the Rose Wonder set.  Dapper Denim sentiments on the outside and the inside and this card is ready to send.

I created a similar card last week using the Waterfront set. Just as fast.  Just as fabulous. 

Trust me when I say you want the Waterfront stamp set. Purchase it plus any number of other goodies from the Occasions catalogue and/or the Annual catalogue and/or the Clearance rack.  When you order $60-worth of goodies you get to choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!  
 
Even better, save a TON of money by joining my team during Sale-A-Bration.  You get to choose ANY 2 stamp sets for FREE in addition to all of the regular bonuses.  Check out the details HERE or contact me.  ANYONE in Canada is eligible to join my team and I would be happy to discuss with you how you can save the most money!

In the meantime, I hope your Friday is Fabulous - just like this card - and that you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

God Bless,    Cynthia     <><
