I am using embossing techniques for my club this month and one way to use embossing powder is to highlight an area to make it shine. I versamarked the cardstock after I stamped Dasher in Mellow Moss ink. Then I covered the entire piece of cardstock with Iridescent Ice embossing powder and heat set it. The small snowflake at the top is made to shine by using the versamark pen to just parts of the snowflake and then adding the embossing powder and heat setting it. Thanks for stopping by…..
Trying out the emboss resist technique for my club project. It is very simple. All you need to do is versamark the snowflakes on the whisper white cardstock and the emboss it with any color powder. I used clear since I wanted the white to show through for the flakes. Then you simply add another color over the top of the embossing powder. I used a sponge loading with Brocade Blue and sponged all over it and then used a tissue to remove the ink from the embossed areas.
I think Fall is my favorite time of year!! I love the changing of the leaves and the warm colors that they inspire. I made this with my club in October. We used the shimmer paint for the leaves punched out at the bottom of the page, they are from the stamp set called Falling Leaves. The die cut leaves we used the Big Shot on with the Designer Series paper, Razzleberry Lemonade. The cardstock colors are the in colors: Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Dusty Durango. The ribbon slide is from the Hodgepodge Hardware. And lastly, the stamp set that I used the “Give Thanks” is from a hostess set called Holiday Best.
The card we made this month at my club was this shimmery medallion. The shimmer paint is so easy to use and looks really cool on the Always Artichoke cardstock.
After we stamped the Medallion we used Basic Brown to stamp the center of the medallion and punched it out with the large circle punch and then layered it with dimensionals. The rhinestone brad in the center finished it off.
This is one of the new stamp sets from the Holiday Mini Catalog that we can now order from. It is called Sweet Treats. The card is also a new in color called Dusty Durango, a perfect color for Halloween. The treat cup is also available in the mini cattie. They are a really cute way to give the gift of chocolate. The green is called Old Olive.
The inside of the card is a case (copy and share with everyone) from a great blog called craftdoc. She has some neat ideas on her blog!
The design is so the card won’t be ripped apart when someone tries to get out the candy. The Basic Black cardstock is slipped under another piece of cardstock and it hides the opening of the treat cup so the candy can be poured out easily, it can also be refilled to regift it wanted.
This is the scrapbook page my stamp club will be making this month. The Perfect Plum cardstock is put on a piece of
8 1/2x11 Basic Black. I cut a strip of the designer series paper (dsp) called Cast-a –Spell and glued it down on the left side of the page.
The little skeleton with the doggie having him for a snack is a stamp set in the mini called Twick or Tweet. I sponged a little Pumpkin Pie ink around the skeleton to soften it up a little. The green dsp is also from Cast-a Spell. I finished it off with a couple of More Mustard brads. Love it!!
And the final project for my club is an adorable little box called a pillow box. This is made using a die from Stampin’ Up! called a Pillow Box die. Who would of guessed. The stamp set is called Pumpkin Patch and it is really cute and easy to use.
I will find some little goodie to put inside .
Thank you for checking all of this out, please leave me a comment or two and let me know what you think!!
I finally made a banner from the pennant die !!!
It was my daughter’s birthday and I wanted her to have a cool banner for her party. Her colors were purple, white and silver. I used whisper white, plum and cottage wall dsp. I used the sticky cuts letters and spelled her name out using the silver glitter. And to add some more bling… I used the ice rhinestone brads to top it off. I figured out how to hang it using the silver cord and it turned out pretty cute. She loved it!!! So of course I had to make her a card to match…………… Yes it is upside down, we did not notice until now; but oh well, what can you do?
I hope you get the idea. And she was so excited to get her first official stamp set of her own!! It was on my wish list so I guess now I will have to borrow it from her!!
I used the Friendly Words jumbo wheel and the punch is called Heart to Heart. I used Pretty in Pink for the cardstock and the ink. The base of the card is Always Artichoke.
Thanks for looking....
I used the new Razzleb
erry textured cardstock and the crown from the Definitely Decorative catalog.
