Hi Stamping Friends!

I've been creating new projects like crazy this week to prepare for lots of brand new classes & events I have coming your way!  The "biggest & bestest" one is the 20-Card Kickoff Party, coming up on January 29 in my Too Cool Studio.  I love creating for that one because it's 20 DIFFERENT cards showcasing all of the most exciting products from the Occasions Catalog! 

This week, I also announced a new "mom & me" Sending Love Valentine's Treats class that you can take either locally or with a Class-To-Go kit! 

And, today, I'm revealing my January Stamp-of-the-Month Kit featuring the gorgeous Beautiful You stamp set!  Check out the details below, including a peek at the first pair of cards from the class!

Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - two cool
 
Beautiful You Stylish Dress With Metallic Accents
The first two cards from my Beautiful You class kit are so elegant and stylish!  I used the paper piecing technique to adorn the lady, and dressed up the card with shimmery & shiny metallic accents!  The photo doesn't do these elegant cards justice!
 
Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - gold
 
Background Basics—I started by embossing a 4-1/4" x 2-1/4" piece of Crumb Cake card stock with the Elegant Dots Texture Impressions Folder.  I adhered that with SNAIL to a Soft Suede card base. Next, I added a 4-1/4" x 1/4" strip Gold Foil to add a little shine! 
 
Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - gold 3
 
Lovely Lady—I stamped the Beautiful You image with Archival Black Ink onto a 2" x 4-1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock. Then I stamped her again on the shimmery gold patterned paper from the 12×12" Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack.  After hand-cutting the DSP images around the dress and hat, I glued them on the original image with Multipurpose Glue.  That's called Paper Piecing! 
 
Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - gold 2
 
Tag Accents—I punched the top of the Whisper White piece with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, then added a 2" x 3/4" strip of the striped gold DSP across the bottom.  I finished the tag with a 1/4" Gold Natural Trim bow at the top and two Gold Sequins at the bottom, all adhered with Glue Dots.
 
Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - gold 4
 
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Beautiful You sentiment in Archival Black Ink onto Whisper White, then die-cut it with the Layering Ovals Framelits and popped it up with Dimensionals. 
 
Can you see the shimmery and shiny gold goodness on this card?  It's subtle, but so elegant in person. 
 
Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - silver
 
Two Cool—I had to try another version in silver!  Yes, this is a full-color version, even though it looks black & white—its grays and silvers combine beautifully!  I used Basic Gray for the card base, and Smoky Slate for the background pattern.
 
Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - silver 3
 
Sensational Silver—Her dress is cut from the silver shimmery Neutrals DSP, and I used the sparkly Silver 1/4" Natural Trim for the bow.
 
Beautiful You Metallic Piecing - silver 2
 
The Silver Foil and Silver Sequins add lots of shine, too!  I also flipped my Elegant Dots embossing to the "back" de-bossed side and it looks like a cool paper piercing pattern!  The pattern goes great with the polka dots on her dress!  Love it!
 
Complete Supplies List—"Clear" means a rubber stamp on a clear block. "Photopolymer" is see-thru.

  1. I was just led to your site by Pinterest tonight and your Beautiful You cards look great. The paper piecing idea is something I wouldn’t have thought of at all.
    Do you have a plan to offer the PDF and video portion of the class the month as a separate for those of us who already own the other parts of the supplies?

  2. Hi Kay! I have made it my policy to not offer PDF or video tutorials as a class option because I typically offer the full instructions on my blog posts! I can’t justify charging for something that I offer to everyone for FREE! I will post links to the other cards below…
