Challenge Time

Hello Friends :) I played along with a  couple challenges this week.

Here is where I entered my card:



(although, this was my first time playing along with them and I was unable to find the rules section. I only used 4 of the 5 colors and not really sure if that is "allowed" but I am still entering it in.

Here is my card. I stamped the silhouette couple from Kiss Me set from Sweet Stamp Shop and the feathers and banner are from the Dia De Los Muertos set from Sweet Stamp Shop. The Frame is from Freckled Fawn and the enamel dots are from My Minds Eye.

I embossed the background with the Triangles embossing folder from Cuttlebug.


And just for fun here is another card I made using the the Kiss Me set along with SRM stickers, flowers, pearls, and ribbon.

Here are the sets I used on my cards:
Dia De Los Muertos


Kiss Me

Thanks for stopping in. Will see you soon :)

Birthday 'Stache

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Hope your week has been going fabulous...

I decided to mess around with my distress inks, I just love the seasonal ink pads from Tim Holtz. They are so bright and vibrant and so different then the rest of his inks. I didn't have any thing in mind when creating this and wound up making a birthday card. I had the perfect numbers to match the ink colors (Lemonade, Cut Grass, and Peacock).

Here is the "Birthday Stache" card!






 Just add a little money to the inside and you are sure to please anyone ;)

Have a wonderful day!
XOXO

Fun with Clear Embossing Powder

One of my favorite things to do is heat emboss when I stamp. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE heat embossing on unlikely surfaces, such as picture frames, home decor wood pieces, and more. I also love to emboss even when  I am not stamping. You can make a fun distressed edges to your cards, mini albums, or page layouts...pretty much heat embossing is the COOLEST and you should be doing it too. But, this could be quite the investment if you are new to this, so my recommendation: Buy a bottle of fine clear embossing powder. You can use it with any color ink you own and it will show that color, like below, use pink ink and emboss with clear you get pink embossed! That is what is so AWESOME about it, you don't have to go out and buy tons and tons of different colors right away just a clear and that's it.
Here is some fun I had with my clear
 I used the Sparkle N Sprinkle clear embossing powder (they make great embossing powders! The fine powder doesn't blur the image and keeps it crisp and clean.)



I then stamped my image using the Pattern Craze set from Sweet Stamp Shop in various colors and embossed them using the clear. See how cool that is, the color just pops


Just for fun, to finish it off I  sprayed it with some glimmer mist, wrapped some twine and added a brad.
Here is another card I did using black ink and clear embossing.

Well hoped you enjoyed the glorious reason why you should now invest in clear embossing powder.

Until next time :)
