I am sure I have said in past – but it is always worth repeating….. I LOVE heat embossing. The magic of that powder melting down and creating a fantastic background or focal point on the card – such a WOW factor, and to be honest almost a right of passage for any card-crafter.
I use this technique in a lot of my classes – in fact in my August Christmas/Holiday Card Stamp Camp on August 18th & 19th one of the cards will feature heat embossing. Check out on the calendar tab above for more details
I love to take candy (sweets) and make them into something a little bit special. I have been decorating Hershey’s Nuggets for several years now – giving them as thank you’s and selling them at craft fairs in the run up to Christmas. They are very quick and easy to do, taking just a few supplies……. and you can use them for just about any occasion you can think of. The ones I am sharing today were for a July 4th dinner we were invited to a couple of weeks ago. Continue reading
The two cards I decided to share today shows of even more of the Eastern Palace suite of products. The opportunities are practically endless and it is so difficult to just pick one or two examples – so I am going to run with some today and then a couple more next week.
Earlier this week I posted a card made with the Eastern Beauty stamp set and promised to share some more cards to show how versatile this stamp set is. I have used most of the products from the Eastern Palace Suite (which can be found on pages 18 and 19 of the 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalog; and also showcased 4 of the 5 new ‘in-colors’ Continue reading
Back in early May, Stampin’ Up! did an early release on one of the new bundles from the 2017 – 2018 Annual catalog. The Eastern Beauty Bundle included the stamp set, coordinating thinlet dies, card and ink pads in three of the new in-colors. Needless to say I, like many other demonstrators fell on this set – it is beautiful and so very versatile and the rich tones of the new colors were a perfect foil for the stamps. I have some I will be sharing in the coming days.
I was planning to make some cards for July 4th and the stamp set was sitting on my workbench so I picked it up with some Real Red and Night of Navy ink and this was the result!

Yesterday was our 16th Wedding Anniversary – it seems incredible ~ those years have flown by so fast. I made a card for my husband and tried very hard to give it a bit of a masculine twist, I think I captured it in the colors but perhaps the bow was a little too ‘girly’ – but he took it very well.

Flowers are my weakness, I am always drawn to those stamp sets with flowers, but as I explained in a post the other day – I ration myself otherwise I would have nothing but flowers in my stash. So when I ordered a set the other week I deliberately chose a set that had flowers but other things as well – Grown with Love has a little cart, flower-pot and watering can as well as flowers and best yet it has coordinating dies which make it a snap to cut everything out with my Big Shot.

I don’t know about you but my ink pads see a lot of service, whether in classes, stamp camps or me designing projects or making cards for sale – they get a lot of use. So like everything we treasure, they need a little TLC from time to time. Continue reading
