Top Tip Tuesday – Any Colour Glimmer Paper

Top Tip Tuesday – Any Colour Glimmer Paper. Welcome to another of my Top Tip Tuesday posts. Today I am looking at coloured Glimmer Paper. Stampin’ Up! has a great selection of basic colours in the Annual Catalogue, but sometimes we want to go a little ‘Off Piste’ and have a colour that is not a standard stock item. What then?

Any Colour Glimmer Paper

Having seen sales of short stocked coloured Glimmer Paper, I can see that there is quite a call for it, so I have a solution for you. If fact my ‘solution’ is an actual ‘solution’. This will mean that you can have Glimmer Paper in ANY colour you want. You need to start with our wonderful white Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Cut the amount you want from the full sheet and then protect yourself and your work surface.

Any Colour Glimmer Paper

You will need a solution of about 2/3 of a Stampin’ Spritzer full of 70% Rubbing Alcohol (available from Amazon in the UK) and between 6 and 8 drops of reinker. Now shake the solution to mix to two parts well. Once you are confident they are mixed, simply spritz your Glimmer Paper until the colour is the right ‘depth’ of colour for your project.

Any Colour Glimmer Paper

Other than this being a little messy, it is very simple and the Glimmer Paper will be ready to use in about 2 hours. You can speed the process up a little with your Heat tool, but I would recommend that you leave the Glimmer Paper to dry naturally for the last 1/2 hour or so. This will reduce the likelihood of the paper curling.

So, now you can get Glimmer Paper in any colour you want, or add drops from different reinkers to see what new colours you can find. Just remember that colours on opposite sides of the colour wheel will make brown if mixed together. I should add that this is a great way to use up your older reinkers.

I love that you choose me as your demonstrator. Remember, when you shop with me online, use the monthly Host Code to share the Host Rewards. And for every £30 you spend in one order AND use the Host Code, you will earn a Sunflower Reward. Spend £60 in one order and earn 2 Sunflower Rewards. Earn 10 Sunflower Rewards and you can choose £30 of product of your choice. Full details are on the Hostess Code Club Page. This month’s Host Code is:

DGBMY3V7

If your order is over £150 (plus P&P), please don’t use the Hostess Code as you will get to pick your own rewards, but don’t worry, you will still become a VIP Member.

The Starter Kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the Catalogue, but during Sale-a-Bration it is even better!!!  It is still amazing value at a total cost of just £99 (129€) for your choice of £130 (175€) of products (with no additional P&P). BUT DURING SALE-A-BRATION YOU GET MORE!! You get to choose your favourite Stamp Set (excluding Host and Sale-a-Bration Stamps), You also get the Mini Guillotine and Sample Designer Series Paper Pack!! All this and still only £99 (€129) including P&P!!

As a Member of this great Family, you get a minimum of 20% net discount on your future purchases. You also get income from sales you make to other people if you want to use this as a business. Win,Win Right?

Whether you are in the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands or Austria, just click on the picture to join the Team. If you decide that being part of the Stampin’ Up! Family is not for you, then just stop buying and you will revert to being a customer. Easy, simple, no quibbles!
