A Quick Tip: Very Vintage Buttons

I thought I would share a quick tip with you today, you may have already seen this on Pinterest or in fact on a blog, I love the Very Vintage Buttons in our Catalogue but I also love to heat emboss my Very Vintage Buttons so far I have heat embossed them with Gold and Silver and will try a few other colours as well, This is the one I embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I have also coloured the Rhinestone with our Blendibilities. All you have to do is place your Button onto the Versamark Ink Pad push it down so it gets covered in Versamark then place the button into your pot or container off Embossing Powder remove it and place onto a board, hold it down by placing a toothpick through one of the holes and heat with your Embossing Tool. then add to your project with a Glue Dot.

I Love Lace Pool Party

I love Basic Black cardstock heat embossed with Pool Party Embossing which I have used on this card, we made this card in class last week, someone did say to me that the lace embossed background reminded her of the lace net stockings she used to wear when she was young at first I wasn't sure what to add to the card then decided on the Oval Framelits I used the flowers from Petite Petals, this sentiment is one of my favourites and is in the Perfect Pennants set. This photo is a bit pale as the card in RIL is so pretty.

Stamps: I love lace, Perfect Pennants

Ink: Versamark, Pool Party

Cardstock:  Basic Black, Pool Party, Very Vanilla

Other: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Oval Framelits, Pool Party Embossing Powder, Petite Petals Punch, Itty Bitty Punch, heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Basic Rhinestones, Tombow Adhesive,
