Stampin' Up!'s Basic Rhinestones Aren't So Basic


This is a card that I made at Marilyn Young's card buffet last night.  I must confess that I did "cheng it up" to use a new technique that I learned at our September demonstrator meeting.  Notice the Lucky Limeade rhinestone in the center of the flower?  Yes, it is a Stampin' Up! basic rhinestone.

Judi Martin told us how to color Stampin' Up!'s clear rhinestones with a Sharpie marker to make it the color that you need.  It's easiest to color the rhinestone while it is still on the sheet.  Let it dry and then place it on your card. This is a technique that I'll be using a lot. 

Item 119246 $4.95

This is how the rhinestones look before they are colored. You can order the rhinestones from my online store Enjoy making your custom-colored rhinestones.

Come by my BOGO sale in Bedford, TX this Saturday, September 24th from 1 to 5 p.m. if you would like to see a demonstration on how to color Stampin' Up!'s rhinestones.  You can get more details about the sale on my Facebook page or email me.

Creatively yours,

Love what you added to the card. The new ribbon really adds a new dimension, and is very pretty.
