Emboss Resist

Morning blogland.  There was a time a few years ago that our internet was a bell hub.  This ment that we were very limited on what we could do.  The biggest no no was videos (using up to much of our limited data).  I saved all the videos I wanted to watch.  So now that we have unlimited internet I am slowly going back to catch up on some technique videos.  This week I have managed to produce two cards.

Using my background stamp I heat embossed with white powder.  I then took distress inks and blended the background. Wiping with a dry towel when finished to brighten up the white emboss.  Then I cut out the front panel with a scalloped die.  Placing the card base with the cut front panel in my Misti I positioned my flower stamp, removing the front panel before stamping.  The image was colored with pencil crayons. I added little yellow pearls to the centre of the flowers and a little jute bow to the stems.  The sentiment was cute with a die three times and layered altogether to make them dimentional.

Thanks for stopping by.  And hope you enjoy my little creations.

happy crafting

Three Simple Cards

Evening blog land.  The other night while going through stock and rearranging product I came across a pack of paper by imaginisce.  The All Occasion Build-a-Card.  What a great way to get the creative juices flowin'.  To take a simple card and add too it.  Ok, so I couldn't see a vision for one, but two of the cards I did manage to  put add-ons on.


The little penguin was my first attempt.  I folded the card, stuck the sticker on the mat.  I used two way tape around the border of the mat and add glitter.  To the little penguins on the card I put enamel accents on his eyes, wink of stella on his cheeks and scarf, and little pearls on the white snowflakes.  

The blue one was quit simple.  When I went to stick the sticker on it accidently slipped. When lifting it up it peels some of the paper.  I cut the sticker down in size, and placed flowers over my little boo boo.  

So looking forward to the weekend.  One more day and I'll see my little girl.  It's been almost two weeks since we dropped her off at college.  One week of just first years, and this week she started classes.  We have text everyday, keeping up on what she's doing.  But I miss her so much.  Can't wait till I'm done work tomorrow night, she should be home.  

happy crafting
