It’s been a comfortable fall so far, love getting out the sweatshirts and making stews! Pot Dots are a staple in my tool bag, and hopefully they are, or will be in your bag too! (See the information at the end of this blog to learn how you could win all 35 of these technique tags in this series.)
If you would like a copy of my technique instructions file, leave a comment with your email and I will send it to you.
Love using Pop Dots on cards especially. Gives some dimension to the card, but still ships without extra postage. I’ve also been know to use pop dots to keep the wings of my butterfly away from the page and look more like they are ready to take off and fly.
On the club night sample hopefully you can see what I mean with the butterfly wings.
Using the window pane technique is a great way to fill a little more space if your image is just a tad smaller than you would like it to be. I’ve also found that it can make a quick stunning card too. (I’ve taken a flower and cut it into a window pane and voila a card.)
You don’t have to back it with another color, but it does make it easier to dry fit in the window pane part is already glued down to another paper.
Here is the club night sample.
Here are the stamp sets I’ve used in this example, and many of the other tags that we will be looking at in the upcoming posts:
I also used Seaside papers (X7192B)
Our awesome markers were also put to use throughout this process of creating the technique tags.

Pop dotting has become such a “go to” technique that I don’t even think about it any more. However, I can see where windowpanes are going to become part of my future. I’m thinking especially of a series of winter cards . A “scene” all glittered up with that new pen CTMH has, looking out the window of a cozy cabin. Christmas cards are dancing in my head!
Thanks for all the great examples of how to use pop dots. My favorite has to be the way you placed them under the butterfly wings to make it look as if the butterfly is ready to take flight. Beautiful!
