For me, the easiest and most fun way to make a quick card is to create some kind of an amazing background and then add a die cut sentiment or sentiment strip.
Also, when I’m struggling creatively, especially when I’m trying to come up with ideas for new videos, sometimes I just grab a product and start playing with it. That’s what started this. So, I have a tub of products that I’ve purchased but not used in a video yet. I grabbed the first stencil I could find and started playing. I thought I’d share all the messy goodness with ya’ll. 😁
Let’s use a few stencils to create some neat backgrounds and play with some of the supplies that I’ve been collecting, like: modeling paste, glitter and glitter paste, and some sparkly dry powders. Here’s the link to re-watch if you missed it live: https://fb.me/e/2fLz9Tkel

Also, if you visit a store and what you want is out of stock, be sure and ask to be notified by email when the item is back in stock. It’s usually quite quick and always worth the wait. 😉
Thanks for hanging out with me!
Remember, if mailing a card with layers and embellishments in the United States, be sure and buy “non-machinable” postage so your cards don’t get smooshed in the USPS postal machines.
If you try this technique, be sure and share your artwork with us on the @ladymichellecreates Facebook page.
Thanks for spending time with me!
Blessings & Hugs,
