Elizabeth Crafts Glitter is Here!

I am so happy to announce that the Elizabeth Craft Designs glitter has arrived!!! And just in time for Demo Day this Saturday, April 23.  Come and see how to make those fabulous cards with this micro fine glitter. You are going to love the way this glitter looks; it's so very sparkly, there are so many wonderful colors and it really sticks.  This glitter does not fall or flake off like the others.  When you run your fingers over it, it doesn't even feel like glitter;  it is soooo smooth.  And hence the name of the technique -  burnished velvet technique.

I know you must be thinking......... OK, glitter is glitter.  What can you show me?

I know, I and all the store owners were thinking the same thing when we were at the Trade Show in Boston.  And then Elizabeth showed us the samples and we took her classes.  AND all of us were hooked!!! It was like nothing else!  We just LOVED everything.  And of course wanted all of the beautiful colors so that we could start making these outstanding and stunning cards!

At the Demo, I will show you how to use many of the supplies you already have to make these cards.  You'll learn how to use your punches, peel offs, Copics, cutting dies and more. Isn't it just great to get more use out of your tools and supplies?


This is a new sample I made today.  Just another way to use peel offs!


And here is the display of all of the wonderful colors that are in stock!

Stop by on Saturday and see for yourself.......you will not be disappointed!

Glitter, glitter and more glitter!


Barbara, Soni and I are back from Boston, where we attended the Collins Group Trade Show. We had a great time taking LOTS of classes, learning new techniques, seeing lots of new product, making plenty of samples and meeting such talented people in our industry.

One of the things that WOWED everyone was this new, micro fine glitter. It was the hit of the show.
And here is Els van de Burgt, owner of Elizabeth Craft Designs with a sample board of the beautiful cards she made with this fabulous glitter.

I took her class and made the following two cards. Unfortunately, the pictures do not do the cards justice. The technique is quite simple and you end up with a gorgeous card that sparkles to the hilt yet feels so smooth to the touch! And so the name of the technique - the burnished velvet technique. You end up with a truly elegant card.


Stop by the shop and see these cards in person - you will not be disappointed.


I can't wait for the glitter to arrive so we can have some classes in making these stunning cards!

Thanks for stopping by,
Anna
