Our Shimmer Mists are a great way to create quick backgrounds using stencils. Today I've used the Pink Metallic Shimmer Mist along with the Spiral Petals Stencil to create a background that I used for two different cards. The traditional way to use the stencil is to lay it on your cardstock and spritz the Shimmer Mist over the top. But while doing this, I...

It’s a new year which means twelve months of new opportunities for sending cards to friends and family. For me, it also means that I’ll be looking for multiple ways to use my favorite stamps on my cards.
