Good News, Everyone!

I finally have some cards in my Etsy shop!!! They all look so pretty in their little thumbnails, waiting to be purchased.






Woohoo!!

Just search Dena's Arts and Designs on Etsy, and browse some colorful, handmade Valentine's day cards.

New Classes

Hey there everyone! My class coming up in February features a product I've always wanted to try. I used Glitter Ritz by Elizabeth Crafts. I found three techniques to try, each involving a different way to use the glitter.






This was really fun to experiment with! I used the glitter on die cuts and punches, stamped and colored on it, then used the Elizabeth Craft peel-off stickers to make the daisy card. It took some getting used to, but I think I found a good method for keeping the glitter contained and uncontaminated. (Note- not spilling half a container of purple glitter on your craft table is a good place to start.)

For those interested in the class, it will be at The Craft Retreat on Saturday, February 15th from 10:30-1:30, and costs $26. Supplies needed are the basics, an x-acto blade, alcohol based markers, and gloves if you have a sensitivity to glitter. It comes off easily with water, but you will probably get a little bit of glitter on your clothes.
