Wow, how generous of you to share so many card ideas. Compartmental creating is something I strive for and watching you helped me focus and stay on task. You do have some great ideas that everyone can put into practice. Happy December!!!!

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it so helpful!

[@JamieRoseDesigns]

This was very timely-thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@JulianaMichaels]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@dianemendoza3010]

Thanks for the beautiful card ideas and help with the mass making. Happy Thanksgiving

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you! You too!

[@iliketocutandpaste]

Beautiful cards! :)

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks so much!

[@barbarawoodard4731]

Copic opaque white and a little water does amazing splatter. I also like white gouache with a little water. I’ve tried and now using Dr PH Martin bleed proof white for white splatters and Dr PH Martin black star for black splatters.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Several have mentioned the Dr PH Martin. Just curious if it will bleed when layered on top of Distress Inks. Guess I'll have to do some testing! TFS!!!

[@franciemontgomery2935]

Thank you for all the great tips!❤

[@JulianaMichaels]

You are so welcome!

[@3723tina]

Always love your videos, Juliana. I actually have a suggestion for you. Maybe daughter is an artist and was having the same issues with white bleeding. We tried, Dr. Phil Martins Bleed Proof White. We got it at Michael’s and works like a charm! 😉

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks so much for sharing this! Several other people have mentioned it and I’m going to look into it!

[@TheresaPetermann]

copic ink, see Kelly Taylor for how she uses it and it works amazing to get your whites. mines on order, great card ideas. getting going with one today. thanks as always for sharing and all the inspiration.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks for the tip! I'm curious how it does when applied over Distress Ink backgrounds? Will have to check into it.

[@kimbontrager9456]

I can't thank you enough for this video!! To see it step by step was so helpful. The little hints and details are what make your cards so beautiful. I truly appreciate you!

[@kimbontrager9456]

BTW.... I think that Tim said he likes to use white Gesso for splatters.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks for such kind words! I’m so glad you found it helpful!

[@maryvandenberge]

I also struggle with finding the right white paint to splatter. Love the cards!

[@claudiaveltrie1532]

I just received my candle set I'm so happy to see this tutorial today!! oh and I love the other cards as well, Thank you so much

[@JulianaMichaels]

Yay! Happy crafting!!!

[@doreencogar8451]

Nichol Spohr uses white gouache mixed with a little water. I haven’t tried yet. Beautiful cards!

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks for sharing that. I’ll have to look into it!

[@cindyhenry1410]

Love these cards!! I was already planning on using the candle dies for my cards. I will be doing all the same (I don’t have that many to make). What size are your cards? For white splatter, picket fence Distress paint.....TYFS! ❤️🦋💜

[@JulianaMichaels]

THanks! They are all standard A2 size (4.25 x 5.5 inches) except the candle card which is 5x7. I've tried the Distress Paint and it always seems to absorb the ink below it. Several here have mentioned the Dr. PH Martin so I'm going to give that try.

[@jaynefosbery7517]

Can you let me know where the big Merry Christmas came from?

[@JulianaMichaels]

I was lucky enough to find it on Ebay. It’s a retired die called Christmas Ribbons by Tim Holtz. Happy hunting!

[@maryh1317]

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing - yours will be one of the first I've ever created myself for my cards this year! I'm having trouble knowing what my card size should be - I've just made the mistake and learned that the size of my cards will be limited to the size of the embossing folder :o. What size cards should I get for the blue and white Joy card you made (which I'm duplicating - thank you!) - I see the Holiday Knit embossing folder is 6.5x4.25. TIA! Happy Holidays!

[@JulianaMichaels]

You can make the cards any size you like! If an embossing folder is not the size you want, just trim it and then create a mat or 2 for it to get the size you do want. Most of my cards are standard A2, which is 4.25 x 5.5 inches. The candle card in this video is 5x7 and all of the rest of them are 4.25 x 5.5. Hope that helps!
