Hello there!

Today I get to bring a stunning, sparkly card to the blog! Nami is a creative genius when it comes to cardmaking. She always has such great ideas and blows me away with her amazing card designs. For this glitter-filled card, Nami used Crystal Lacquer as her adhesive for the glitter. For those who don't know, Crystal Lacquer can be used for adhering glitter, but it can also be used by itself to create a glossy, raised effect. Below is a sample of that look.



Isn't it amazing how one product can achieve two completely different effects? The glitter look can create such an elegant look while the glossy look creates a fun, playful effect. When choosing products for our accessory line, we look for versatility and also value. We know that your crafting space (and budget) can be limited and we keep these factors, in addition to our line-up of stamps, in mind when adding new products.


I hope you enjoyed today's cards and also the stamping tip! We have learned lots over the years and we like to share our little tidbits of information. :) Hopefully they are helpful!
