I shared an anniversary card the other day (see link below) with die cuts and shimmer paint and promised I would share how I stumbled across the shimmer technique.

(By the way – this would make a great wedding card as well – just use one of the other greetings in the set!!)
Continue readingI often say on my posts that the card I am sharing that day will work for more than one type of celebration, today I am doing just that.

As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2023, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2026 ……….. already!
