Mainly Monochrome With Michelle Short
Hello there, Michelle Short here to share three projects with you using the new Glimmer Cardfront Sentiments Collection. I don’t know about you, but I often struggle with picking out color combinations. Whilst there are different ways to combat this (like using a color wheel), I often like to forget about combinations and go monochrome instead. Or in this case mainly monochrome, as I did add in green for the leaves! FULL OF HUGS For my first card, I am using the This Card is Full of Hugs Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.

Direct-to-Paper Backgrounds & Glimmer Cardfront Sentiments by Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! I’m Joan Bardee and I hope you are ready for some fun! Today I’m sharing some easy and colorful cards using the unique Glimmer Cardfront Sentiments collection.

In this technique, you hold the ink pad in your hand and apply it directly to the paper. I decided on somewhat abstract versions of circles, stripes, and plaid.…
