Continue readingHappy Halloween Everyone! We love to see the ‘teeny tinies’ and ‘littles’ from the neighbourhood coming around in their costumes to collect candy.
Today’s card is my final Halloween theme for this year and has some quick and easy techniques to create a ‘Spooktacular’ card. Featuring the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set with the Essential Tag Punch building up a spooky mosaic of halloween images.
Continue readingThis card started with a piece of Purple Posy card, which was sitting next to my paper trimmer, I ran it thru my cut and embossing machine with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders which is one of the new folders in the 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalog. All the decorative parts are attached to this patch then attached to the base card with 4 – 5 Stampin Dimensionals.
So who says sunflowers have to be yellow? Misty Moonlight turned out to be a perfect combination with Purple Posy and Seaside Spray.
I think today’s card would work for just about any occasion so I did not put any greeting on it at all. To be honest I don’t think it needed it – there is such a lot going on a greeting would have been just too much!
I am featuring a double embossed technique – starting with an embossing folder – sometimes known as ‘dry embossing’ then followed up with heat embossing where embossing powder is melted onto your card using a heat gun! I am waving a fond farewell to a several products that are retiring at the end of May (available while stocks last) Copper Embossing Powder , Parisian Beauty Bundle, 1 5/8 Scalloped Circle, 1 1/8 Scalloped Circle and 1″ Circle Punches.
Oh my gosh…………… it is very nearly 3 weeks since the 2018 – 2019 Annual Stampin’ UP! catalog went live!!!
I have shared a number of projects using some of the new products in the catalog – and today is going to be no different.
As you may know, being a demonstrator allows me to have early access to some of the products and one of those was the delicious Share What You Love suite – which included a brand new embossing folder, Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – mouthful to say, I know, but oh so very pretty.
I have paired this with the Love What You Do stamp set and one of the new core colors, Mango Melody. Continue reading
Another favorite Stamp Set is Daisy Delight and usually I grab that beautiful big daisy when I open the stamp box but if you look closer there are some really pretty, little delicate flowers that I used to build up this card for my younger sister.
I chose Peekaboo Peach because it is about to retire and it is another of those colors I think are bright a summery!

Tax season is over, I’m back at my work bench and normal service is about to resume!!!!!
I apologize for not posting very much in the last 5 – 6 weeks, been very busy helping the nation file their taxes ( did not actually get ours filed until late on the night of the 14th ~ bit too close for my liking, prefer to get them done by mid-March!)
But while I have not had time to post I have had some time to make and have some things to share with you over the coming days………………
This was one of the cards from my October card class earlier this week. I used a tri-color technique for the image and then sprinked it with clear embossing powder before applying the heat tool. It gave the image a very subtle shine.
