Supplies you'll need for this project
 
Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Tissa asked: "Can other shapes be used for the telescoping card? I'm thinking of some new items coming from Stampin' Up! that are different shapes such as hearts and they can be "nested.""
A: You can use any shape you like, as long as you like the way they look stacked on top of each other.
 
Feedback From Past Tutorials
Lazymoo has a suggestion for the Glitter Painting tutorial:"This method also works with low tack spray adhesive, which saves on the expense of the adhesive sheets. To stabilize the glitter afterwards spray with a sealer. You don't need the soap for this technique."
