Great tutorial Betsy!!! Cannot wait to try it…Wish you could let me know the name of the glue you used (in the black bottle). I am still using a glue stick and would really love to change to the kind you used as it looks so easy! Thanks again for the tutorial!!
Oh boy! Do I ever like the Tissue Paper cards. What a great way to add some texture or change the look of printed paper. Thanks for the video.
Very cool technique! Thanks!
What a great technique! Thanks for sharing it Betsy! I LOVE all your cards! 🙂
GORGEOUS!!
Thanks for the video ..loved it and wanted to know how to do this since you made another card with this technique.
I will def. try it and use some tissue paper from my PTI wraping and color it with glimmermist.
Wow! It’s so nice)
Oh Betsy, I love your videos! So informative and clear, and you have a very soothing voice 🙂
Thank you, Betsy! 🙂
Incredibly wonderful video…
and technique!
Such an interesting texture…
love it!
And btw…
love the bling too! 🙂
I created two cards for this fun challenge, I hope that is okay. It was a lot of fun, thank you for the inspiration!!!
Wow Betsy I love this technique I have to try it out!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Great technique video! One question -where do you get your vintage tissue paper? It reminds me of the tissue paper used in old sewing patterns.
Great tutorial and video! I definitely want to try this but also was wondering where I can find the vintage tissue paper. It reminds me of old patterns.
Thank you for a very useful technique. I have an old sewing box full of patterns. I never thought to use these as vintage or craft tissue. Really enjoyed the video.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful technique!! I love the effect the tissue leaves on the patterned paper.
Just loved this one! And thoroughly enjoyed seeing Betsy build a card and listen to her “process”. Fabulous!
This is a great idea. I am going to try this, since my PTI order just arrived i’ll have plenty of tissue paper to use. The make monday series has been a great new addition to your blog, i love all the new ideas and seeing other ways to use some of my stamps. thanks… oh and i LOVE my anniversary set, you guys are the best.
I love make it Mondays, thanks for the tutorial.
It’s my first time leaving a comment…and this was the card to make me do it. Absolutely love this idea and that card is beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration, Betsy!
Made my card today and absolutely love the look of the tissue paper! I tried several types of glue before settling on good ol’ Mod Podge…I know, old school. But it seems to be thin enough to spread well over the surface and absorbs so that your tissue becomes a bit more translucent than when I used my usual generic liquid glue. I plan on using this technique often!
How simply divine. I enjoy muted colors so much and this is just a great way to use up some of my bold prints that I was not so sure how to use. Thanks for sharing.
I am always so inspired by Michelle! I love the vintage style notebooks she made using Happy Trails. She always sends my mind racing with ideas! Thanks Michelle!
BEAUTIFUL card, this technique is so easy yet adds sooooo much! TFS!!!
