Today I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink & Share blog hop again. You will have either arrived from Shirley Merker’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is Anything but a Card ~ I love to do 3D and Home Decor items and have been really looking forward to this one.

Yesterday I shared Stampin’ UP!’s Bonus Days ~ spend $50 in August to get a $5 coupon to redeem in September – so my thought was – what could you buy for around that amount and be able to create some pretty cards.

Stampin’ UP! have put together a group of supplies, notecards with envelopes, Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy Punch, 2 full size ink pads and a clear block ~ perfect for creating cards straight out of the box!

I was tidying my workbench (it happens….. rarely but it does happen!) and there was the pot of Embossing Paste waiting patiently for my attention. What fun I have had with this product, as I explored what could be done with it I thought a few video’s would be fun to share. Here is the second of my series where I will share how to Heat Emboss your Embossing Paste! Continue reading
