Retro Christmas- Day 2
It’s Day 2 of card sneak peeks over on Courtney’s blog. Today we are sharing cards/ projects featuring GLIMMER MIST. If you follow blogs, you know that this product is super popular. There are so many different ways to use it; you’ll see that in the the PCD design team posts and those of our guest designers.
I have to confess, Glimmer Mist has scared me from the very beginning. I don’t particularly enjoy getting my hands dirty, so this product wasn’t very enticing to me. However, there are ways you can use it where you don’t get your TOO messy. ;) I used the Starfish Glimmer Mist for my card today…..here’s how I chose to use it:
- Created shimmer paper. I laid down a piece of cardstock on a mat and went to town. You can determine exactly show shimmery you want your paper by the amount of squirts you use. It did take a little while for it to try, but the results are SO worth it!
- Added it to the lightbulbs to create shine. If you have lots of Glimmer Mist, you could use other colors for the different colored lightbulbs.
- Sprayed it to a white Prima flower! Again, you’ll want to be sure you have a mat underneath for this one. I first colored the flower with a Copic then added the Glimmer Mist. Since there are so many Glimmer Mist colors, you can have a large array of colored flowers! :)

This is really cute. I love glimmer mist and I love the subtle ways you used them on your adorable card! When I glanced at this on the PC website, I knew this was a Paulina card. I love your style.
Love that strand of lights and the cute little deer! Your stamped background looks fantastic and I’m sure the glimmer looks wonderful in person!
This is adorable!! I love the bling nose on the reindeer and the string of lights in the corner. The color combo is awesome too!
What an adorable card….I love that new background stamp!
I ‘need’ that deer…such a darling card Paulina!
Awesome way to combine both sets, and that bow/flower combo is gorgeous!
Adorable card!
This card is so darn cute!!
OK…that curly string of lights is melting my heart—-soooo stinkin’ cute!
This is adorable! Lovin that background!!!!
Paulina you always make me see stamps in a new way! I was thinking, “Now why didn’t I think of that?” after seeing this adorable card of yours.
So, so cute.
Super cute card, love it!
Oh how cute! I’m Terrified of Glimmer Mist. I’m have no idea what to do with it and I’m even more afraid that if I try it, I’ll get hooked and have to have it in every color! LOL! See, Terrifying!! ;)
A real nice card. Thanks for all those tips. I must try this technique.
I love this card! My favorite part is the lights hanging on top! BTW I am going to say it. Where did your photo go? I miss seeing it on the right!
