Custom Wink of Stella Colors

                       

Is your Wink of Stella all used up????  Not so fast -- don't throw it away!  There is still lots of shimmer left in it -- it just won't come out anymore.  Follow these steps to get more shimmer + create your own custom Wink of Stella - in Stampin' Up! colors of course.

Work on a protected surface and....

Custom Wink of Stella         
  1. Remove Cap.
  2. Carefully remove insert cartridge by lifting up on the black circle and lay it down on paper towels.         
  3. Fill barrel about 1/2 way, with rubbing alcohol.
  4. Add several drops of your favorite ink.  It will take about 7-8 drops to see the color.  Remember, it will be mixing with the silver shimmer, and the lighter the ink, the more you'll need.
  5. Replace cartridge and shake well.  Prime it by using it on scrap paper before applying to your project.
Now it's ready to use.  The example below was done with a Highland Heather Wink of Stella on Whisper White cardstock.

Painted Poppies Card

Painted Poppies Card
Painted Poppies Bundle (stamps + dies)

Are you a fan of poppies?  It's been a very popular stamp set from our January-June 2020 Mini catalog.  This card features the Painted Poppies stamp set + Painted Labels dies, on a bright Poppy Parade card base.  The top layer features two smaller poppy images, tucked behind a larger one, with leaves tucked in around them.  The Basic Black layer is cardstock that's been torn around the edges to be the desired size for the layer.  The greeting comes from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set.  A small strip of cardstock that's been textured with an embossing folder provides the backdrop.  The completed panel is layered on a Poppy Parade card base.

Honey Bee Card

Honey Bee Card
Honey Bee Stamp Set + Detailed Bee Dies + Stitched Shapes Dies
This card utilizes a Basic Black + Whisper White color scheme.  Notice the double white layer.  The honey bee shape was die cut from the top white layer three times (the cutouts were saved for another project!).  Then, the honey bee was stamped into the opening that was die cut, for an inlaid look.  The center bee has a beautiful vellum overlay from the Detailed Bees Dies.  For added texture and gloss, the "honey comb" shape was die cut from Black Foil, providing the back drop for the "sweet friend" sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamp Set.  Coordinating floral stamped images were also stamped on the inside of the card.
