It’s been at least a couple of weeks since I shared a Glitter Ritz card. Lest you think I’m losing my touch, I’ve made a couple more. But this time, instead of using Peel-Off Stickers, I’ve used die cuts from Dee’s Distinctively Dies.

Screen Printing 101
I finally got a chance to bust out my screen printing kit from Jacquard Products today. Of course, as always when I set out with a plan, Murphy’s Law kicked in and I haven’t gotten nearly as much done as I expected.
