A Tutorial in Papers and Pixels....AND a giveaway!

Happy Friday to you! I have so much to share with you today! I hope you can stick around for a few minutes! ; ) First off, I have had the honor of contributing to a fabulous on-line magazine called Papers and Pixels. I have a tutorial over there on how I created this card with step by step instructions. If you haven't been there yet, I would recommend checking it out and becoming a member. It costs nothing and it is a fabulous place to make friends and be inspired!


I have a fun giveway that will end on July 29th, 10 P.M. EST. The winner will be announced on August 1st. I have a Gypsy and 2 cartridges, Tinkerbell and Friends and Fabulous Finds, to offer to all of you Cricut lovers! All 3 items retails for about $170.00.


So what do you have to do? Take a peek at my tutorial over at Papers and Pixels, come back here and tell me what specific tutorials you would like to see from me. I would love to create more, but I need a bit of direction! ; ) And last but not least, you don't have to become a follower of my blog, but I sure would love it if you did! : )
And that's it! : ) Easy right?

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!! : )

  3. I love your tutorial. The card is just beautiful. I never thought of using glossy accents on the paper as a base for glitter. You learn something new every day on the blogs. TFS!

  4. I forgot to write what tutorials I would like to see. I agree with Jocelyn and would love to see shading techniques. I am not very good with that and could use some help.

  6. You are so kind and so generous and so talented. I am inspired by your sense of creativity. Your blog rocks. Thanks for sharing.

    Time is always a problem for me or I should say the lack there of. A tutorial on time saving techniques would be beneficial. Maybe some techniques on preparation.

    I too must say I would love seeing "coloring" like w/ copics, and/or colored pencil.

  10. Good morning Michele~ First of all thank you for introducing me to Paper and Pixels. I had never heard of the site or the magazine. I can't wait to read the whole thing. I love digital projects as well as traditional scrapping. As for tutorials, I would love to see some on inking. I don't do much of this because I never seem to get it right. I could use your help!

  15. As a grandmother of 11 I would love to see children's (young and old) birthday cards. So much more fun for both me and them to make them rather than buy them. I love the card you made as a gumball machine with a shaker insert. Keep up the good work. A Cricut Gypsy would be a wonderful addition to my craft room. Thanks, Nancy Hill

  16. LOVE LOVE LOVE this card tutorial !!

    I have a few ideas, hope you don't mind me listing a couple :)

    1) Basic shapes - choosing a shape and highlighting different ideas you could use that shape for.
    2) Colour - help on choosing colours or patterns that go well together.
    3) How to create your own back grounds.
    4Punch Art - I love punch art so anything in that field is always fun to learn.
    5) A challenge - alot of magazines will always set the tutorials for intermediate crafters, which is great because it covers all levels of ability, but what about a tutorial to really challenge the more experienced crafter, something that you can really sink your teeth into ( i hope not to offend anyone with this idea,would just be nice to see ;) )

    Cheers Sam

  17. Yes, this card is positively stunning. I love all tutorials. I have learned almost everything in my card making from tutorials. I especially enjoy a tutorial that a "famous" card maker does on a new technique they just discovered. Oh, and the Gypsy!!!! I am very new to the Cricut world (two weeks) and already I have a Gypsy on my wish list. Keep up the good work Michelle ~ one of my favorite blogs!

    ReplyDelete
  18. That is a gorgeous card!!!! My sister doesn't have these carts or a Gypsy, so I'd love a chance to win them for her :D.

  19. Hello Michele,
    I am a new scrapbooker(empapelarci.wordpress.com)and I am enjoying every step while learning this fabulous art, but I have many questions still to ask and details to unveil.
    I agree with Jocelyn about the tutorial, I would like to see how to shade the corners and edges on papers, and to learn different techniques on paper treatment to get different looks or textures.
    I look forward to see who the winner is ;) and to learn from the most experienced.

    Marci ;D

  20. Love this card. Great tutorial.

    I would love to see a tutorial on "colouring in" stamps. I'm fairly new to stamping and have never attempted colours!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Love your card, have a few ideas, but would love to see some tutorials for boy cards. I am always at a loss and with 2 grandsons and a couple of nephews. I feel like I am cheating them when the nieces get really pretty cards and theirs are, well, kinda sad looking :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wow...the card is beautiful and you are certainly very talented in creating it. I'm great at copying but not usually the initial creating process.

    Sam listed the one thing that I would love to see more tuturials on. Punch Art. It fascinates me and I love seeing what can be made from basic punch shapes.

    Thanks so much for being so generous with your giveaway as well! Have a great day.

  25. Happy Friday Michele! And Wow, thank you for introducing me to Paper and Pixels. I love it! As for tutorials, I would love to see some on flowers, I can never seem to create all of those amazing layers flowers I see on projects. That would be a fantastic help to me!

    ReplyDelete
  26. There are two things that I struggle with and would love to see a tutorial for either.

    Selecting different patterns that work well together (outside of a "kit") and creating blog buttons and headers.

    The card is beautiful!

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  60. Beautiful card. I would love to see tutorials on Design Studio. There is so many tutorials out there on youtube on using the gypsy and not everyone can afford or has one, Design Studio is more of an affordable thing. I would love to see more manly cards, I struggle with them.
    Have not had time to look at the Paper and Pixels yet, I get that in my email normally. But, will look when I get a chance.
    Thanks for the chance at the gypsy.

  70. Thanks for sharing your lovely wedding card Michele! I am fairly new to Cricuts and cardmaking but would love to see more tutorials for pop up and even three dimensional cards. These just go so far beyond what you can find in the average selection at your stationery stores. Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

  71. What I would love to see is a tutorial on 3d cards. There seems to be a shortage of true 3d card tutorials that I can find. Another thing I would love to see is shaped card tutorials.
    I am completely new to Card Making and just trying to collect what I need to get started. This includes as many tutorials as possible. Your tutorial was great and so pretty.
    I am playing around with the idea of incorporating my love of fabric manipulation into card making.

  80. Love your blog and directing me to Papers and Pixels. I posted to my blog about your blog and the Paper and Pixels blog. Since I didn't know about your blog or PP, I figured others didn't either. I would love to see a tutorial on making boxes out of chipboard. I see so many of the pretty boxes at Joann's and would love to recreate them myself. Thanks for sharing!

Maybe even "the cricut meets mixed media"? Thanks for your generosity in sharing your tutorials and this giveaway. My dear daughter (age 6) and I spend hours with our cricut and would love to be able to share the gypsy as well.

  83. Love all of your work and love the pics of your kids too. My sister is a special needs kid, now aged 53! She's taught us love and understanding and not looking at the outside of people, but the inside :) A true blessing for our family.

    On what to see, I like technique type learning - so any kind of iridescent techniques for textures, backgrounds, etc. would be fun to learn. I'm a glitzy type person who likes a lot of bling - glitter is my friend :)

  85. Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much for providing such a great resource with Papers and Pixels. Your tutorial was highlight because I just love your card. You were clear and detailed - not an easy thing to do on paper. I was looking through your blog and noticed you used Tattered Angels. I would love to find out how you use Tattered Angels products on your Cricut creations. I have the misting sprays, too, but somehow it just doesn't look as polished as your Born to Fly card.

  88. The wedding card is lovely. I would love to learn how to apply small dimensional objects, i.e. rhinestones, flowers etc. without dropping them! Also I would like to know how to make layers "pop" out from the layers beneath and the layers above for greater visual delight.

  89. I love your wedding creation and all the detail you added. I'm like a lot of the other gals needing help in shading and tips using Copics, pencils, etc....different mediums. I really enjoy making cards with lots of little touches of detail.

  99. Came from PaP. Nice card and great blog. I read the recent post using the copic airbrush system. I just broke down last year and have started to very slowly collect the pens. Now I'm thinking I might need to branch out to airbrushing as well. Any tutorials using copics would be great as I certainly haven't used them effectively yet.

    ReplyDelete
  102. First, Thanks for the AWESOME giveaway!! You have such beautiful cards! I am also a scrapbooker who turned to cardmaking. Too much paper too little time. lol I love your tutorials, they have good pictures and simple directions. I love to see tutorials on new techniques or a new take on an old technique. Sometimes we forget some of the things we loved to do when we first started crafting and need a refresher on it. I also need direction when making cards, a favorite color, something a person collects or is interested in, that is why I love blog challenges, they help to focus me.

  113. Wow, this is a very elegant card. TFS.

    What I would love to see more is copic coloring. I want to get into copics but seeing that they are pricey, I want to see tutorials on it before I take the plunge.

  114. P&P brought me to your website after going through the July posting. Usually I just browse and this time I seen your wedding card and decided to see how it was made. I got married this July 4th and was thinking about using the wedding dress/veil in a scrapbook page layout. Your article in P&P really made me give my husband sitting beside me a hug. So many things can get dwelled on, but they should not be, especially after being reminded of all we have.

    I would love more tutorials on punch arts. They can be used on so many things! If you made one for a card it could be eaisly used as scrapbooking, decoration or a freestanding embellishment. I love punch arts because of that, however fall short in knowing how to make one without the tutorial.

    Anyway thanks for the giveaway, I know there will be one very happy crafter in a few weeks!

  115. Fabulous card. One thing I certainly struggle with is mixing and matching yummy patterned papers with an image that needs copic or whatever kind of colored. I always seem to stay with mostly cardstock or just one patterned paper.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  127. I love everything that you do and this is no exception. I didn't find the tutorial but will go back again to see if I can locate it. I should never check something out when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. I love to use inks on my projects and would love to see tutorials on using inks as well as your signature use of glitter. I'm not sure what you do different but you do glitter like no other.

    Hi Michelle.

    I loved this card, it is such an innovative idea and I also love glitter, so I am going to use this inspiration ad the basis of a card that I have to make for my friend's birthday. Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to enter in order to have a chance to win this give away! Keep up with the tutorials, most of the times I learn much more from a tutorial than when I pay money for a class!

    Cariños,
