Card using martini glass stamp from Sip Sip Hooray set with mercury glass acetate.

Don’t Miss the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate

Don’t miss this hidden gem in the Holiday Catalog!  It’s hidden away in the bottom corner of page 33. You get four 12″ x 12″ acetate sheets with a faux mercury glass finish. Two have that mottled look you are familiar with and two have more of a cracked glass finish.

It caught my eye because I have several pieces of faux mercury glass (mostly vases) in my house. I ordered it early but I’ve just recently started playing with it.

This card features it as a simple background and its the easiest way to use it.

A Halloween card of gothic bats from the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set from Stampin' Up!

A Wonderfully Wicked Gothic Bats Card

The Wonderfully Wicked stamp set isn’t particularly scary…until the bats summon Nosferatu.

I wanted to try using the Stained Glass dies for a Halloween card. Since they have that gothic appeal, castles come to mind, which at Halloween time makes me think of vampire movies. Scary movies are not my thing, but the 1979 movie Nosferatu the Vampyre is scary and creepy and artistically fascinating. At one point he enters a victim’s room by flying into her room (in a castle, of course) as a bat. So now you have my set up!
