Three Ways to Use Bold Color Mix Numbers
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Color Mix Celebrations Collection. This collection features two BetterPress sets, one with large numbers and a die set with numbers that can cut out the BetterPress numbers or be used on their own. Separating the numbers worked for the 2025 card but with the other cards or most with fewer numbers, I think they look great when overlapped. I also enjoyed placing one higher than the other. On Porcelain BetterPress A2 Cotton Card, impress first number from Bold Color Mix Numbers Press Plates with Cosmic BetterPress Ink. Do not remove the number. Using the first number as a guide,…

Three Interactive Cards With Rocky The Dancin’ Yeti
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Rocky The Dancin’ Yeti Etched Die Set. This die set is absolutely adorable and comes with a variety of accessories. Each card I’ve created features a different interactive technique. No need to be intimidated by interactive cards! These three cards are simple to assemble.

On a piece of teal cardstock, trace the outer edge of the Arch Shaker Dome then blend navy ink in the outlined area, from top switching to a teal ink to end. Splatter with white acrylic paint. Die…

I’m definitely going to use lots of sparkle on these cards. How could I not? The disco balls inspired a…

Rainbows and Shine with the Shine Bright Collection
Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Shine Bright Collection by Carissa Wiley. This is such a fun collection featuring disco balls and amazing sentiments. I paired this up with the Silver Assortment Treasured Cardstock Pack for some bright and shiny cards. When I use press plate or glimmer sentiments, I usually create all of them multiple times. For these instructions I’ve said to create the sentiment but usually, I had the sentiments ready to go. Hot foil the Sparkle Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate on Onyx Cardstock using Speckled Prism Hot Foil Roll. Rotate glimmer plate and repeat of other half of panel. Hot foil the…
