My oldest niece and nephews want cash this year for Christmas. They are growing up too fast. It was only 14 years ago that my niece was a flower girl at my wedding and now she's learning how to drive.
Today's Gypsy Spot challenge was to create something with a snowman and/or snowflake. Well since I'm giving cash this year, I thought this challenge was a perfect time to make money card holders.
I love using UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) on my projects and not too long ago I found a great video tutorial at apieceofcraftdotcom on how to add glitter to UTEE. Her technique was on Prima flowers, but you can certainly do this on anything you cut out from your Cricut.
I'm sure you all need a video fix, so here you go.....
Thanks for watching and I hope to be back later this week with a Wild Card Series video.
Hugs,
Awesome! Very handy, indeed! TFS!
ReplyDeletecool video, i'd like to give that embossing powder a try, where did you get it??

Thanks for the video yes I needed a video fix really bad. I need to make gift card holders and was just thinking about them today and now I know how to decorate them. Thanks once again for sharing. Chris
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Christina! Thanks for the great videos you make.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great video Christina.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to get on with the gift card holders I need to make. I have been making some calendars with the Designer Calendar cart and I was getting "crafted out".
Thanks for getting me back on track :)
So cute! Those snowflakes are gorgeous! Thanks for another great video. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your card and I will have to use this one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just love this and will be making some shortly.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what kind of corner rounder you used? I need to get a new one and that looked like it works well.
Thanks for sharing.

The one I used in this video is by Fiskars. However, I want the We R Memory keepers corner rounder.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great idea.
ReplyDeleteAnother great card.
ReplyDeleteYou were right I was in need of a video fix.

Love this one. Great colors and snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteLove your card. I think I have seen the UTEE process before, but I believe the product was melted and poured. I like this method better.
ReplyDeleteThank you

ReplyDeleteNice video and money holder. Thanks Kathie

ReplyDeleteTHANKS! I bet those snowflakes turned out very pretty. I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteChristina you rock! Thanks for the inspiration. I haven't tried embossing yet, but now I see that it's a must. The money card is great. Thanks also for sharing the great link to the flower video.

I love this project! My dad is so hard to shop for. I do handmade for Christmas, but not his birthday, and this would be a GREAT way to dress up a gift of that nature!
ReplyDeleteI just adore your blog! You are such an inspiration to me! Watching creative and talented people like you has inspired me to blog, and to craft WAY more often. I use new techniques and am constantly inspired because of gals like you! Thanks for all you do!!!!
Check out my blog for my take of the gift card. Thanks Christina for the idea.
