Card Camp Close-Ups

Hello!

Have you heard about our Micheggy Card Camp coming up in June? Michelle James and I have teamed together (thus the name "Micheggy"...get it?) to bring you an incredible technique-based card camp! Card Camp will be on Saturday, June 18th OR Saturday, June 25th at The Craft Spot in Emmetsburg from 8 am - 5 pm. (We will break for lunch on your own from noon to 1 pm.) In the other 8 hours, we will teach you 8 different techniques, making 3 cards/projects per technique. Yes, that means you will leave with 24 cards/tags/projects and 8 new ideas for making your own at home!

If you are a Craft Spot member, this just got better: The cost for members is $45, and the cost for non-members is $50. That means, if you are a member, the average cost per card is only $1.88, and non-members' average cost is $2.08. Not too bad, eh?

The techniques we will be covering are:

Glimmer Mist

Punches

Ribbon

Folding

Flocking

Textures

Digital

Flowers

We hope to show you some new and exciting ways to use these products on your projects. I think everyone will learn a few new things for sure!

Michelle sent out an email for The Craft Spot, highlighting some of the cards and techniques. We thought it would be fun to create a blog hop for you to get more information, so I started here! I am going to give you some more detail about the Glimmer Misting class!

Let's start with what Glimmer Mists are, just in case you're not sure. Glimmer Mists are a product made by Tattered Angels. It is a water based spray that has tiny particles of glitter in it, so when you spray it on, adds a shimmery effect. They can be used on a wide variety of surfaces to achieve different results. Here are the 3 cards we are making in this class, where we will use 8 different misting techniques!




Do you see the pretty orangeish-pink color on the left side? That's done using Glimmer Mists! We are also using a product called Smooch Inks on this card to give it a little more shimmer-oomph!


This card is probably my favorite of the 3 we are making in this class. I used 3 different colors of mists in 4 different ways! It's really pretty, and rather vintage-looking, which is not my usual style. (Uh-oh! Do I feel a new style coming on? Perhaps...)


This third card uses two more techniques for the Glimmer Mists. See that orangeish-pink color again? Ah, wait til you see WHY it matches the first card! It's a cool bit of information!


That's all I have for you today, but I'm thinking there will be some more info coming to you shortly on one of the following blogs:

I can't wait to read your thoughts on these, and your anticipations of the rest! Please leave a comment. You know, there might actually be a prize at Micheggy Card Camp for one random commenter...Just sayin'.
