Very nice video. I was at a crop all weekend and the gal next to me distressed quite a few things on her layouts. Nice reminders to use all our goods.
Lori Winters says
I am loving the Make it Monday series and getting to see all the designers make cards. I especially like the comments they make about the different sets they are using and techniques. Each one has done a great job and I look forward to Monday’s these days…. Lisa, thank you for showing us such a fun card and technique that we can all do without buying extra tools… I will always think of you every time I peel potatoes!! : )

Another great Make-It Monday video. I think I will be posting every Monday telling you how much I love these. Aside from the wonderful ideas and techniques, it’s so much fun hearing the designer’s voices and the little asides that make which are as informative as the technique they are demoing. Thank you so much!

This is a fabulous card, Lisa! It can be used for almost any occasion by changing colors and sentiments. That is always a plus. You helped me to understand the difference between distressed and vintage distressing, I appreciate that. TFS.

I am so in love with your Make It Monday videos! The team always inspires me with new ways to use my stamps and today is no exception. I love your color combo Lisa and how you thought “outside the box” with the dressing up the stars.I’m with you, why buy more tools when I can use what’s on hand…that way I have more money for stamps!! Clever Girlie:)

thanks for the great video Lisa. More great ideas to try and have fun with: I haven’t done much distressing, so this made it look easy and I’ll give it a try!

This video was sooo much fun! Love the colors of the stars together and such a fun way to make a birthday card! Ha ha, gotta add those star dies to my wish list now as well, ha ha! The distressing looks great on the stars! I’ll do my best to try as well and join the challenge, it’s a fun one!
Hugs, Wendy

I love this card with the neutral background and bright pops of color. By adding the distressing to the shapes it just pulls it all together so well. Thank you Lisa for taking the time to inspire creativity.
