All It Takes Is a Wink

There’s a long-standing joke in the crafting world that glitter is like an incurable disease...you just can’t get rid of it.

But that’s no longer the case. With the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, you can add a subtle sparkle to any of your projects with ease, and you won’t be brushing glitter out of your hair 12 weeks later!

The Wink of Stella Glitter Brush is a fine, nylon-tipped brush that allows you to glitter-up just about any project, no matter how finely detailed, with an easily controlled application. Plus, the unique nylon tip makes it easy to create thick or thin lines of glitter; so whether you prefer a subtle little wink or a full-on blink, the Glitter Brush can meet your glitter needs without a messy glitter cleanup.

Need even more reasons to use the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush? 

How about the fact that it uses a water-based pigment that is photo-safe, acid-free and xylene-free. So not only can you use it on cards and gifts, but on all of your memory-keeping projects, as well!  That’s glitter-ific!

  " If you’re someone who notices and loves detail, you’ll love the subtle wink of sparkle you can easily add with this pen!"

Maybe you are a bit glitter-phobic, then...
" This pen has such a fine tip, you can easily add glitter to your projects with no mess! No matter the occasion, the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush is the perfect tool to add that ‘wink’ of sparkle to your projects!"

Project Life

Memory keeping is a lot like exercise: we all want to see results, but it’s a challenge putting in the time and effort. However, while there’s still no magic pill to give us that perfect body, there is a great solution to make memory keeping much simpler...Project Life!

 Project Life is a great memory-keeping solution that makes it easy to record everything from simple everyday activities to once-in-a-lifetime experiences all year long. All you need to get started is an album, photo pocket pages, a card collection—and some photos, of course!

There are no complicated layouts to design, just slip your pictures into photo pocket pages and add cards from a card collection to quickly create fun, colourful layouts. If you’ve never tried Project Life, you’re missing a great opportunity for easily capturing your memories.

If you need an introduction, then get started with some basics. The Memories in the Making Project Life Card Collection (140573) and Accessory Pack (140574) are a perfect way. I encourage you to get started, since they work well for any season.

Want to do a class? 

Come see how Project Life is the easiest way to preserve your memories. All you need are your photos, an album, page protectors and a card collection. ’ I encourage you to finally do something with all those pictures you have stuck on your smart phone or laptop or tucked away in shoe boxes.

Mistakes are opportunities for creativity

In my class the other night we made this card using the Rose Wonder Stamp set. We sponged the colours first not being too precise about where the colours sat. Then the image is inked in black and stamped on top. Pretty simple right...

Well one of the ladies had a slight accident, because the block is quite large it slipped out of her hand and landed in the wrong place. She thought she had made a complete mess of her card. So I gave her a new piece of card and said that I would resurrect her mistake later. She said it was impossible to resurrect and I said "aah you wait and see". After everyone had left I got the matching Rose Garden Thinlits Die and cut out her mistake and layered it. She laughed when she saw it the next day and we gave it as a jointly created card to another friend that has been unwell. As I am always saying " There is no such thing as a mistake, just an opportunity for creativity."

Blades of Glory

Paper? Check. Ribbon? Check. Scissors—crafting scissors?
You know, the kind designed to cut paper and ribbon. Good scissors, not the all-purpose ones your family uses to trim hair, cut duct tape or deadhead plants. If you have paper and ribbon, you also need scissors specially designed for paper crafting. Good news! We’ve got just the scissors you need. They’re designed for paper crafting; they have ultra-high- quality blades; and they make crisp, clean cuts.

• Paper Snips (103579) excel at cutting paper and cardstock. The 6.4 cm stainless steel blades are sharp right to the tip—you can make intricate cuts in the tiniest areas.

• Craft Scissors (108360) glide though ribbon and fabric like a hot knife through cheesecake. The heavy-duty, 9.5 cm stainless steel blades cut clean and neat, leaving smooth edges.

• Fringe Scissors (133325) snip rows of teeny tiny cuts. The ten blades make quick fringe or confetti. Make sure you use each type of scissors only on the products they are designed for to keep them sharp.
