This is a plate that I did for my mom. Every year at this time she makes her famous Christmas cookies. Her grandkids can't get enough of them...ok, neither can the adults.
It has been a while since I have posted anything. So sorry. Here are 3 candles that I stamped on. This technique is very easy. Take a piece of tissue paper (same color as your candle) and stamp your image onto it. Next color, emboss, glitter to finish your image. Cut around the image and position it on the candle where you would like it. You then take a piece of wax paper and wrap it around the candle holding it tight. Take your heat gun and heat wear the image is until you see it clearly. (Keep the gun moving if you stay in on spot you will melt too much of the candle.) Next just peel off the wax paper slowly and viola! You can add ribbon or other embellishments if you like.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Today I am showing you a couple of treat holders that I made. One is a very simple sucker holder and the other is a matchbook that holds the little bags of M&M's. I love doing things for the Holidays and then giving them out. I hope everyone has a wonderful and SAFE weekend.
This week's card is a Tri-shutter card that my friend Pam did for our shoebox swap. I love how she used the twine with the leaves. She used Autumn Meadows DSP & the Autumn Splendor stamp set. Pam has been a blessing in my life. She is always making sure I am smiling. She is a gracious host of many events and ALWAYS has a TAB soda with her! She is addicted to TAB. Thanks Pam for making me smile!
Today's technique is very "magical". The image will slowly appear. The snowflake on this card was done using this technique. To do this technique - Remembering to use the embossing buddy, emboss a white snowflake or image onto glossy cardstock. Heat set & set aside. Put rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball and put 2 different colored drops of reinkers onto cotton ball. Dab cotton ball onto the ENTIRE piece of cardstock. Heat with embossing gun again starting at embossed area and working your way out. The image will magically appear. Hope you like this technique!
Only 1 more week before Halloween! Has everyone got their costumes? Today's card is a gate card that I did at a meeting. The tree and owl on front were embossed in black. The stamp set used was the House of Haunts along with the Frightful Fence. A brayer was used to get the night effect behind the tree. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Today's card is one that I received from my Upline during a swap that we did. I love the color combination. She used the Falling Leaves stamp set. I would like to dedicate this card to my husband. Today we have been married for 26 years! Thank you babe for sticking by me!
Today's technique is split negative. The best thing about this technique is that when you do the image you end up with two so you can make two cards. This technique is normally done in black and white but try substituting contrasting colors of your choice. 1. Stamp image in VersaMark™ onto a black piece of cardstock, add white embossing powder, tap off excess, and heat set. 2. Repeat the process on a piece of white cardstock & emboss with black embossing powder. Note: you can substitute VersaMark with a colored craft ink pad and use clear embossing powder. 3. Determine the exact midpoint of each piece of cardstock and cut both images in half. There will be four half images at this point. 4. Adhere two opposite images to a coordinating or complimentary piece of cardstock.
Have a great day!
This is a Halloween card that we did at my upline's house. I love this stamp set, probably because I love candy corn! The stamp set is the Tasty Sweet stamp set. Colors used were: Basic Black, Summer Sun, Only Orange, Whisper White and some Close to Cocoa on the candy corn. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
