Valentine Index Cards + VIDEO

Welcome back to Day 4 of our brand new blog event! We have the first ever "5 for 5" holiday event... 5 designers will bring you inspiration for 5 days in a row, for 5 big holidays throughout 2015! Each day we have a different theme, and today the theme is GLITTER. Some of the designers are offering prizes so leave your comments to be entered to win!

Index cards are my way of trying new techniques and just playing around, without having to commit to a full journal page or card. I have a rolodex full of these little things, so I thought it'd be fun to make some for this Valentine's event.


 These two index cards use the exact same products and materials but turned out completely different. It was fun to see them transform in such opposite directions!

I used a lot of gorgeous new papers from DCWV that are available now at Joann's. They have new Premium Paper Packs which hold a collection of 5 sheets of very high quality paper, including glitter, vellum, embossed, and even laser cut! I also used the fabulous BLING SHEETS (!!!) they are like shiny crystals on adhesive paper. They're amazing!

Of course I needed to finish these off with some Faber Castell Design Memory Craft Glass Bead Glitter Gel! It IS a glitter theme, after all! I also have yet another PROCESS VIDEO! So you can watch how these two cards turned into two very different pieces!


Make sure to visit the rest of the designers in this hop!
