I love glitter paper. Yep. I have a whole drawer just dedicated to glitter paper. So when the Holiday Card Class had a day devoted to shimmer and shine, I brought out the glitter!
See that red glitter ampersand? It’s my favorite.
I played around with some distress markers for the merry word and bright word. It’s fun to try and blend two different colors. I added some glossy accents for shine. A few sequins and done!
So. Fun. And merry. (and bright). 🙂
So this was a fun idea to mask off the shape, then ink in the inside, then dry emboss the dots around the shape. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I loved making this card.
I image those balloons are carrying that funny bird away!
Jennifer McGuire showed us a great trick for getting alphabet dies all lined up. I was so happy…and I had to give this one a try right away.
This one is a birthday card for my sister-in-law (she better not see this until after Wednesday!) I thought this one would make her smile.
A little Lawn Fawn alphabet, a Little Paper Smooches bird, a Neat & Tangled embossed sentiment, add some gems….and you get a fun, happy card! And do those letters look well lined up, or what?! (I used a T-ruler and some post-it tape to get them just right) Thanks for a great class today, Jennifer!
I’m loving this Online Card Class: Stretch your Dies. I don’t have a lot of dies, so this is right up my alley.
Today I was impressed with Debby Hughes’ technique of using a border die to make an inlaid background. I used a new die from My Favorite Things to do this. This was a fun one!
That “happy” die is from Studio Calico…isn’t is a great font?! I was going to use some sequins on this, but my Liquid Pearls jumped right out at me for this one. I think it’s a happy card.
So I’m going a bit out of order! I am waiting for some packages to come in so I can finish up some homework. While I wait, I thought I’d just go ahead and post some other cards for class.
Today we learned about using a small die cut to enhance patterned paper. Such a great idea! But I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this one. I didn’t want to “mess up” the patterned paper.
I ended up die cutting only 3 little blossoms on this paper to see through to the glitter paper beneath it. What do you think?
I’ll be back to list the supplies I used on this one in a bit!
