Glitter Pants Strikes Again...

another thrilling episode in the secret life of Glitter Pant...and the saga continues...(this might be better than Star Wars)

We were in the car after church Sunday night and  GP (glitter pants) said, did you put anything on the computer about my glittery pants? (busted)
He told me someone came up to him at church and called him Glitter Pants....(thanks Philip)..
anyway to make along story short afterward GP said, "Here's Christmas card from Patty."
He then proceeded to open it up.."This is pretty".
I told him she made them at Christmas card night and it used the same stamp set as the other "glittery one", then he look down again and said"MORE GLITTER! IT"S ALL OVER ME AGAIN!"
Evidently he must attract glitter...once again he had glitter all over his pants, hands, everywhere...

He may as well embrace his feminine side I guess and wear glitter.....ha, ha, ha.....
(he never reads my blog, so I'm good, unless he runs into a blabber mouth again;0)

Well would you like to see the famous cards.....

The glitter doesn't show up really good here and it also depends on the person making the card as to how much glitter they put on it.  I really don't go too overboard usually, but some of my girls really like glitter!
This card was designed by a stamper in New Zealand...Jacque Williams..really beautiful in person.

This is the card Patty made and gave out for Christmas cards..One of my stampin' girls, Phyllis found this on the internet somewhere and we made it.. I did change it up a tiny bit, but it really close and full of glitter too....

So there you have it...

Have a Wonderful Holiday! and
Merry Christmas from Me and Glitter Pants...

(it won't be a silent night if he finds out about this!)

Sneak Peak and Glitter Pants

yes you heard me right, glitter pants and on my husband no less.....
Prissy guy...well not really, but that's what happens when you sit in a seat after some of my stampin' girls get through making their Christmas cards...
It was so funny Eugene sat at the end of the table after a morning class, unsuspecting....then as he stood up and went into the living room he saw sparkle and said "I've got glitter all over my pants!"

I tried to get him to let me take a picture and post it on here but he wouldn't let me...ha, ha.
So now his new nick name is Glitter Pants....just one of the hazards a guy has to put up with when he has a busy stampin' wife;0)

I thought I had taken a picture of the card, but I guess I hadn't yet....I post the picture next time...

Now for the sneak peak..

 

I don't know if it's the colors, the flowers or what, but this is one of my favorite sets in the new catalog and designer paper...I love the colors.....

Well I really need to go to the Y today, but can't seem to make myself do it...so I guess I'll make cards or clean my house...tough choice...not..

Well I'm off for now, happy stampin' or hs from
Wanda and Glitter Pants!

Cards for Christmas Card Night (and day)

Just a quick post to show you some cards we will be making at our monthly "Christmas Card Night"
that we have in the day too.  No time for explanations now...

I got this card idea from Frances Martin.....I did a couple different things but mostly her idea...

These weren't how I had originally envisioned them in my mind, but they work... It was easier than cutting the angels out....The two colors are Blackberry Bliss and Night of Navy, you could switch out the gold and silver if you wanted.

I didn't take a picture of the Wisteria Wonder tree card we made in class, my camera battery died and I have to recharge it... but if you were in class you know what it looks like, if you weren't I guess you'll have to wait until I post it......(don't hold your breath)

Well dear faithful reader/ readers,  Have a lovey Thanksgiving,

Wanda

decisions, decisions,

decisions.....we all have to make them.  You, me....

I made 7 different card and several different designs but only need 5 cards....you get to decide which 5 you want this month at class or pay a little extra and do some or all! (three are fun fold cards..guess which three.)

Well here are pictures of them all and maybe you can decide before you come to class which ones you want...
Good luck!

and Happy Stampin'
Wanda

yes Virginia, I do believe in Santa Claus.....

It's a miracle, a real Christmas Miracle...well it's not Christmas yet unless you count Christmas in July....and it's kind of not a real miracle.....BUT I AM FINALLY POSTING A CARD and ONE I ACTUALLY GOT TO DESIGN!!!!

So maybe it is a Yes, Virginia, I do believe kind of miracle.......

Well enough of that let's get down to the basics.....I have been wanted to actually design my own card for a while, but no time and there are really lots of lovely creations out there to copy, but about 2 1/2 or 3 weeks ago I actually got to design....

Of course this is not what I started out to make or actually had in mind other than the bird nest idea that I did get from someone else, I think it was Wendy Wiexler, who is great.....

Anyway here is the card...we are doing this in class next week....

 This is the first one (I did use a big bobby pin to hold it closed but it looked a little tacky)...

 So I used my thumb this time.....there is a progression from totally plain to embossing part to embossing all and then the addition of the bow and flowers....

 These are a little out of order, but you get the "picture".....

 The fold is called a "Joyful" fold...not sure why, but it usually is opened from the side....

instead of top to bottom.....fun maybe even joyful!

I used one of my favorite new in colors, Tip Top Taupe...(Mint Macaron is the other one) and Basic Black...

Card back is Basic Black 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Second layer is Tip Top Taupe cut 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 scored at 2 1/2
Third layer is Tip Top Taupe cut 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 3/4
Piece inside is Whisper White cut at 2 1/2 x 4 1/4
Top layer Basic Black is 2 1/4 x 3 3/4
Top piece you stamp on is Whisper White 2 x 3 1/2

I colored on my stamp with Tip Top Taupe, Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron markers, then add a little more color with the Taupe ink and a Blender pen......

Confused, just come to class next week, we will be making it there...

Well off to Tenn to babysit for my 2 hillbilly grandsons for a long weekend, then back for Monday's class....

Don't totally give up on me because miracles do happen and I might post again soon than you think...

Take care and HS,
Wanda

If I were you......

I would have deleted me and this blog a long time ago......once I don't post for a while it is so hard to make myself do it.....

I have stuff to show, stuff to post, but for some reason, I do neither........

Once again I shall start....will I do it this time...who knows...

First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A DEAR FRIEND BARBARA PARKER! 29 and holding....!

I have Oklahoma babies here right now, so I am doing no stamping, but luckly I have this months cards for class all figured out.....

Jelly fish, joy folds, flowers, friends and I forgot the last one....but I do have it figured out.

I do not of course have pictures of them but will take some today and plan on even posting some....really soon, maybe today...

Until I decide to post again,
HS,
Wanda

i just wore myself out....

I started counting all the cards I cut and make each month and realized WOW, no wonder I never get anything done......

On a normal month that includes a monthly card class done 4x, Christmas card class done 2x and weekly church cards...totals approximately 350 to 360 cards cut and 110 to 120 cards made and 7 cards designed........plus life......made me tired just thinking about it......especially when I have a minimum of 4 to 7 layers on most of my cards.......

Well I am struggling with my last class idea for next week's round of classes...I had it all planned ready to do and what do I do?  wait too late to get my order in to have all the supplies needed by next week...

The good side is I already have two cards planned for next month's classes....the bad side is a scramble to decide what I want to do.  It's not that I don't have ideas, it's that I have toooooo many:0)

Well enough about that for now.....a card....

 

 

 

Did I show you this one yet? Designed by very talented Jan Tink over at stampspaperscissors.typepad.com.....I love her stuff....I decided, why reinvent the wheel when she already did the work...

 

We will be making this card at class next week...I love it....

 

 

Well I'll be back on here next time I get out of my stamping cage.....

 

 

HS,

Wanda
