Shimmer and shine for easy handmade cards!
Learn to create simple die-cut card embellishments with versatile Shimmer Sheetz!
Shimmer Sheetz are lightweight sheets of iridescent Mylar from Elizabeth Craft Designs. They’re high-shine, high-reflection and while they’re really quite sturdy, they’re also flexible and easy to cut with scissors or die-cut with a machine. I love them for die-cutting because it’s a great way to create easy embellishments that add a lot of style to your card.
