Warning: the following post will be messy, but fun!
Have you ever wanted to try a new technique, but needed some inspiration to help you get started? Or felt clueless about where to start when making a card? I feel that way every year when I start to work on my holiday cards.
I’m constantly turning through old issues of Holiday Card & More, clicking through Pinterest or watching videos on YouTube.
But today I got a few ideas by perusing Paper Crafts’ new online instructional videos. You can find them at on our the Paper Crafts website by clicking the “Videos” tab in the toolbar.
I was happy because I came away from it with a list full of ideas for techniques that I can use in my own way on future projects. Want to see what I created today for you?
Susan’s video All About Adhesive – Adhering Glitter with Super-Tack Tape inspired me to make a few special cards. Take a look at it.
The video reminded me of all of the Super-Tack Tape and glitter that I had sitting in a drawer and I decided that they would be great materials to use for a holiday card.
What do you think? Don’t you love how that tinsel glitter looks like a garland?
So let’s have a video scavenger hunt for a sparkly prize. Who can find another Paper Crafts video where Susan uses glitter on a project? (Hint: it would be a technique that I’d use to make cute Christmas ornaments). Leave a comment here by Friday, December 7th at 5 pm MST telling me what Susan covered with glitter in the video and I’ll pick a winner to receive an assortment of glitter from American Crafts and the Snowflake Greetings holiday stamp set that I used from Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.
Here’s to some glittery fun!

Great card ideas! I love the look of the different sizes of glitter. Susan covered a wooden heart with glitter in the Oct 23 video “All About Adhesive – Covering Chipboard with Glitter”.
A chipboard heart. Thanks!
the glitter cihpboard hearts
I love how festive your cards are!!! Absolutely beautiful Windy!!! Susan sure does wonderful and instructive videos. Must be the teacher part of her!!! The one in question was adhering glitter to chipboard. I love the “Ho Ho Ho” on your card! Mind if I “borrow” the idea??!! gee thanks!
Boy, I am sliping. Why did I not know that you have videos on your website. Thanks for bringing it to my attention because I love watching them to learn new techniques.
I would say the wood chipboard heart would be a cute ornament…..or any other shape too. Thanks for the chance to win.
Beautiful cards! Thanks for inspiring me – I have the tape & the glitter!
A fabulous chipboard heart!
Love the glitters on these cards!
In the video Susan covered the chipboard heart with glitters.
yep, glitter heart. thanks!
Those cards are beautiful! I can see this is something I will need to try. Susan glittered a heart.
I’m sure it’s Covering Chipboard with Glitter. It’s a great technique for making ornaments. I’m going to give it a try myself. Love your glittery cards, especially the tinsel-y glitter.
A chipboard heart!!!
Your cards are really festive and glittery, Windy! Love this technique for Christmas cards, thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the inspiration! I really like your cards. Susan cover a heart with glitter. Thanks for the chance.
Super cute, I used the same technique to make some ornaments for a new wreath.in the video Susan made a black tag with glitter and is stunning. Thanks for the chance to win!
Susan covered a chipboard heart in glitter using Mod Podge. I love these videos – thanks for telling us about them, they are informative and not too long (short and sweet!).
Beautiful cards. I love how the glitter sticks so well with the super tack tape. I need to get some more glitter and some of this tape so I can do this. The only other video is the chipboard heart made with decoupage to seal the glitter in. What a great way to do that. I will be trying this one as well. Thanks for the chance to win some glitter to play with.
Love those cards! She put glitter on a wooden heart in the Covering Chipboard with glitter video.

How inspiring! I love your cards. I’m excited to know about the videos too. Susan used a chipboard heart with the adhesive technique. Can’t wait to try this!
Very pretty cards, Windy! I like the different types of glitter…the tinsel glitter is so cool! I love a scavenger hunt, too–it’s Susan’s Covering Chipboard with Glitter.
Susan showed how to use Mod Podge to adhere glitter to a chipboard heart shape.
