I saw this idea on a video by Dawn Griffith – she used the flower and butterfly stamp from the Beautiful Day set, and I wanted to see what it looked like using the Beautiful Baubles set. You can try this with any "outline" stamp set.
Glimmer Paper Ornament Directions:
- Stamp your "outline" stamp image with StazOn ink onto a window sheet
- Write "front" with a Sharpie marker on the FRONT where you stamped
- Turn the window sheet over and color on the BACK with Stampin' Blends (or any alcohol) markers
- Turn the window sheet back over (so coloring is now on the back) and add your image to your card
- I added it on top of a circle of the Joyous Noel 6×6 glimmer paper (#147817), pg 29 of the Holiday catalog, using glue dots under the darker spots of the stamped image
Additional design notes:
I punched out a bow using the Candy Cane punch and the same Tranquil Tide Joyous Noel glimmer paper, and I also die cut "Merry" with my Merry Christmas Thinlit dies and the same glimmer paper. TIP: put a multipurpose adhesive sheet on the back of your glimmer paper BEFORE die cutting the intricate dies!

I absolutely love this glimmer paper because it does NOT rub off, it die cuts beautifully, and it adheres easily to your project!!
Now for those who know me well, you are probably saying.. WAIT.. did she just say that she LOVES this glimmer paper!? YES!!! because the glitter stays put!! I don't like glitter flying all over my craft room and this paper is AMAZING!! yay Stampin' Up!
