Bethlehem Dazzling Diamonds

Hello, Crafters.

I hope you’ve had a great weekend. 

Just a quick reminder that there’s free delivery on all Stampin’ Up! orders today.

For
quite sometime I have been thinking about offering a Class in the Mail
Club, and I’m really excited to announce that the first class is ready!

What
is Class in the Mail Club?: it’s a monthly class where crafters who
join the club will receive kits to make two greeting cards and a 3D
project. 

This could be something like a bookmark, a box or a fancy fold
card.

The projects for the classes are forthe classes only and I won’t be sharing them online anywhere; they are
specifically for my classes, both person-to-person and Class in the
Mail. 
 
All three projects will concentrate on one stamp set, and may
include a co-ordinating punch or die set.

I will provide a PDF for each
project, which you can download and print.

I
have set up a separate page for my new club and will be having a pay
now button added within the next couple of days. 

Please check out the page for more details about my new Class in the Mail Club! 

Hopefully, I have
covered all the options of running this club, but in case I’ve overlooked
anything, I reserve the right to amend the guidelines and rules as
necessary.

Depending how this first class goes, I may consider making
videos to go with the projects too, but the jury is out on this at the
moment, because of time constraints. Also, I’m learning how to walk
first! LOL! 

Please
email me if you have any questions, or if you’d like to join the first
class, which is on offer as from today: janb@janbcards.com

Please
note that Stampin’ Up! rules only allow me to sell to crafters with addresses
in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Austria – I’m truly sorry!

I
still found time yesterday to create a project to share with you today!

I used the  Night in Bethlehem Stamp Set and the co-ordinating
Bethlehem Edgelits Dies. 
 
I die cut the star and the two rows of houses
in our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. 

I adhered the star with a
Dimensional, and the back row of houses were adhered with Tombow. 

For
the top row of house, I used Dimesionals in as many places that I could,
and also added Glue Dots to some where they’d be adhered on to the
Glimmer Paper.

For
the sentiment, and Mary and Joseph on the front of the card, as well as
the shepherd and his sheep on the inside, I inked the stamps in
Versamark, and then Elegant Eggplant Ink, and stamped. 

I dipped them
into my Clear Embossing Powder box, and heat set using my Heat Tool.

I
layered the sentiment onto a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper,
using Glue Dots, and then onto the card front using Dimensionals. 

I die
cut Mary and Joseph, and used three Dimensionals layered together for
the back of Mary, as they went onto the Elegant Eggplant layer.

I double-layered the Dimensionals for Joseph, as he was in front of the buildings that were already on Dimensionals.

If
I’d adhered the houses higher, I could have put Mary and Joseph lower
and probably single layer Dimensionals would have been more than enough. 

Having said that I’m still happy with my card! That’s it for today. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.
