Stampin' Up's Hardwood, Painted Petals and From My Heart stamps with more Heat Embossing!!

Hi there,

 I was playing with the Blushing Bride embossing powder (making THIS CARD) and wanted to see what results I would get when I teamed it with the Hardwood Background stamp and Painted Petals stamps. I love how when you heat emboss the stamping behind doesn't show through so gives a totally different look to the just stamped version, take a look...

 I stamped the Hardwood background first in Crumb Cake; then added the leaves, finishing by heat embossing the flowers and then the sentiment.

This gorgeous sentiment is from the From The Heart stamp set, I heat embossed it using white powder and went over it with a sponge dauber and crumb cake ink to highlight.

 I was happy with this little card, I like how stamping onto white card makes it fresh and spring like too :-)

Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's card/post too?

Thanks as ever for looking today,

Stampin' Hugs,

From My Heart by Stampin' up! Chalkboard Teachers Card

Hello!

So, I'm working on the Shabby Chic flower tutorial today, I have tried to film it (several times) but have just had to delete some data on my SD card and will go and try again! I'm thinking news anchor or camera-man (woman) is not going to be on my list of potential jobs ;-)

So anyway, today's card is a thank-you card we made at class last week. I didn't design it to be but I think it would make a great card for teachers, including male teachers as there isn't too much 'fluff' on it ;-)

I started with a Wild Wasabi base and added a layer of white before sticking with Wasabi again and embossing both layers with the Chevron folder....

 this very pretty sentiment from 'From My Heart' was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder and then die cut using the Labels Collection framelits before going over with a sponge and white craft ink to make the chalk board effect

 and finally we added a piece of Pistachio Pudding Twine, I love this thick twine and have used it tons already ;-)

OK, I'm off to try filming this video again so that the hubs can edit it tonight while I'm at work :-)

Must remember to tell him that later..... ha ha ha ha!

Remember to pop over to MY FACEBOOK page for extras and sneak peeks when I'm not on here plus see the magazines I've designed for there too :-) 

Thanks for looking today

Chalkboard Heat Embossing using From the Heart by Stampin' Up! Teachers Thanks.

Hello!

I am going to share my last Heat Embossing class with you over the next 3 days starting with this Chalkboard embossed card we made. This would make a great teachers card don't you think?

To achieve this look simply stamp with Versamark on black card (I find an elaborate/old fashioned font style stamp works well, this is From My Heart), heat emboss with white powder and add "smudges" with white craft ink using a  sponge dauber, simples!

 I used the woodgrain background stamp on the crumb cake layer

 the banner across the bottom was made with the 1+1/4" scallop circle punch and added punched stars to each flag.

Right, that's today's card

Back soon with more heat embossed cards :-))))

Stampin' hugs,

More hearts a Flutter!

Hello there,

I hope you are all enjoying the lovely bank holiday weekend, I have had a very enjoyable day crafting and relaxing a little, it's been lovely and I have felt very inspired!

So, I have a couple more card to share with you today using the Hearts a Flutter bundle again. Please excuse the dark spot on the pics, hubs has now cleaned the lens on my camera so it should be OK in the future ;-)

Anyway, these were more I made for my team newsletter, the same as the last post. I really wanted to just do lots of different things with just one set. For this first card I used the Easter(ish) themed papers Birds of a Feather, to make a very Non-Easter style card!

I added a Silver button, an In Colour Dahlia in Primrose Petals, and a little bit of Victoria Crochet Trim  between these pennants,

 moving along you'll see some white stitched grosgrain, some (more) Vintage Faceted Buttons and some Primrose Petals ribbon...

 and a close up of the smallest sized Soda Pop Top which I added a punched circle of the paper in the centre of adding a rhinestone, filled it with Crystal Effects and sprinkled it with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Leave flat to dry before adding to the pennant with glue dots.

 I like that this card has has plenty going on and lots of depth already so I glued the pennants straight down along the bakers twine and onto the card panel at the front of the card.

 Next up I have a card which could be used for a Wedding, Anniversary or simply a card to send someone you love!

It was a really quick card to make even allowing time to stamp and die cut the extra hearts, you simply stamp the heart outlines along the centre first and go back and fill in each with a different element :-)

 I added the patterned hearts with dimensionals and the silver punched hearts were glued using Tombow. Finishing with more of  the fantastic Flower Trim ribbon which was added using glue dots.

 I loved this second card so much I made a similar version for class this week, with a choice of sentiments too, the first is the single stamp Mr and Mrs and the second is from the set called From My Heart, I love the vintage look of this sentiment :-)

and here are all the Hearts a Flutter bundle cards again to finish for today.

I hope that I have inspired you and shared a few new ways to get the most from this really lovely bundle.

If you would like to order this or any other goodies from the current catalogues then please feel free to email me with your order or any questions or queries you may have too :-)

Thanks as ever for looking today and enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend!

Stampin' Hugs,
