Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Everyday Items - Rolling Marbles

 Hi Everybody,

Many years ago I did a video for YouTube on the Rolling Marble Technique and I thought it was time to bring it more up to date and show it again.

The background for this card has been created with that idea and the difference with this video is that I have used Distress Oxide Refills instead of alcohol inks.

They are easier to clean up as everything can be washed off in warm soapy water once you are finished. 

And the box you used can be kept for the next time you want to try this, or indeed for anything else you may want to have a go at.

I used Blueprint Sketch for the featured card and you can add in two or three colours if you wished.

 But be careful of the colours you choose  as you don't want a muddy effect on your cards. 

I used nesting labels dies to cut out the shapes, but again use anything that you already have  in your stash rather than going to buy even more. 

The heart dies in the second card are some are some from an older set, as are both of the 3-D embossing folders that I have used  ... in fact I think one of them was free with a magazine.

So sit back and relax while you view this short video and I hope you enjoy it and will give it a try.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  1. Oh Christina this is memories for me when working in a first school many
    years ago and doing this with the little ones. It was so much fun to see all
    the different coloured cards that they made. Lovely card and so was yesterday's.
    Hoping Ruby is better and can have some nice walk in the sunshine that we have. xx

  2. That's brilliant, Christina. I do love 'messy' card making. Now I need to see if I can remember where I put my marbles. I was silly enough to text my sister telling her I'd lost them and she told me I'd lost them years ago...cheeky big sis.. I'm going to have fun trying this technique out along with the card inlays you showed us last week I think. Bejay xx
