Hello, Crafters.
Yesterday
I made my video showing how to spritz Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper
to change the colour and I have to say it’s one of my favourite videos.
Before I made this video, I made a second card using the same technique,
which is something I always do.
It’s a bit like doing revision before
an exam but much more fun!
Crumb Cake
– this is the card I made during the video.
I hadn’t planned for the
Crumb Cake flowers but when I had completed the card, I said I felt it
was rather pale and needed something.
I promised I’d add the flowers
after I’d finished the video and post photographs here on my blog today.
If you watch the video, please let me know if you agree that this card
needed these flowers.
I used the half inch circle punch to round odd the
ends of the Congratulations.
Real Red
– this is the spritzer I made on the video. Spritzing is very much like
the bleaching technique in as much as you don’t really know what colour
you’re going to get.
To a certain extent, I think the Real Red Glimmer
Paper actually looks a bit pink.
I’m surprised it blends in so well with
the Real Red Cardstock, Ink, and Sending Love Designer Series Paper
Stack!
I used the three quarter inch circle punch to round the ends of
the Happy Birthday!
I think I need to play with this punch technique!
Island Indigo – this is the card I made before I made the video and I
was exceptionally pleased with how it turned out.
The blue Glimmer
Paper would be ideal for a new baby boy card.
In fact, this card would make a
great new baby card – it just needs a change of sentiment!
Pink Pirouette
– this is the card I shared yesterday morning.
I thought it was going
to be my favourite out of all four cards but it isn’t – I love them all!
I shall definitely be ordering more Spritzer bttles soon, so I can play
with other colours.
I use
rubbing alcohol to make my spritzers because the cardstock dries
quicker, but it does have a smell and I don’t think it should be used in
a confined space!
It doesn’t have a warning on the bottle but it’s
definitely one of those smells.
Another
good aspect of todays video is that I was able to use the spray
catcher I shared here on my blog on 7th. March 2017.
Before I started
the video, I tried moving the camera so I could get it on the screen,
but it was just too big!
I think that’s about it
for today.
I’m off to the hairdressers this morning, so until tomorrow, happy
crafting.

Wonderful video tutorial, as always, Jan. It strike me that this spritzing would be wonderful to doing Christmas cards also. I do think I like the addition of the little flowers on the Crumb Cake version, although in the video, it looked lovely as it was … loved the hint shared for rounding your corners on the sentiments also. Lots of good show & share on this video and thank you so much!!
Hi, Geraldine. I had so much fun with this technique. It's a bit like bleaching in as much as you never really know what colour you're going to end up with. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this, too. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
I do prefer the card with the flowers on the heart. Thanks for providing us with so much inspiration. Love watching your videos..you are so precise and clear!
Hi, Patty. I'm so pleased you enjoy my videos. Many thanks for your support. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
Love the spritzing on glimmer paper. Will have to give it a try. Thanks for your inspiration!!
Hi, Helen. It's a fun technique because you never know what colour your Glimmer Paper will become! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
i like all the colors but my favorite is the one you made on the video. i will have to get some reinkers to do this technique as i only have black. 🙁 the background paper is gorgeous too. cheers
Hi, Pearl. This really is a great technique, but even more so when it's used on the Glimmer Paper! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
