Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I haven't done heat embossing for the longest time, so here are some cards using silver, gold and clear embossing powders + retired stamp sets...

Card #1 Floral Get Well

(Floral stamp: SOTM Happiness Never Grows Olde - Dec 2020)

Card #2 Dress

(I entered this card in CASology #381: Memories...memories of when I used to wear dresses...not recently for sure! lol!)

Card #3 Drink

I stamped a second cup, cut the top to make a mask out of it, so I could stamp the marshmallows "inside" the cup.

For Card #2 and #3, I used some trimmed card panels from my Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit Subscriptions...this way, I can make 2 cards out of 1 card base! 

How-to:

1. Stamp the images with Versamark ink pad and sprinkle embossing powder of choice. Tap off the excess. If you have powder in places you don't want, use a fine paintbrush to brush it off.

2. Use the Heat Tool to melt the powder ( I blow it on the image to blow off some excess powder, then I heat from the back first)

3. You can use color pigment ink pads to stamp your image and sprinkle clear embossing powder for a glossy look (Card #3).

4. You can add different colors on one image (From the CTMH Blog: Embossing with 2 Powders)

I love watching the powder melt!

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I've been sick for a couple of weeks now! It's the cold...or the flu...or both! =)

Bundled Up Scrapbook Layout

This 12 x 12 2-page layout is for the Scrapbooking challenge at H2H!
The theme is Cozy & Cuddly and it needs CTMH Dimensional Elements on it...

It was cold that day, but "baby" B really wanted to go outside for a walk...he grabbed his shoes and jacket himself! =)
Grandma watched him while mommy (a.k.a. me) took pictures. I HAD to go inside after a while because of the cold...but he didn't want to at all!

I used the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge for the cuts and Dimensional Elements Signage (Z1902) - arrow (on the left page) and circle (on the right page).

Stamp sets:
C1506 Flakey Friends
2 stamp sets that come with the Artbooking Collection
Frosted WOTG Cardmaking Kit stamp set (retired)

All supplies are CTMH, except for the patterned paper (The Paper Studio) and ink pads (Memento and VersaMagic/Imagine Crafts).

Thanks for stopping by!
