Now onto my project I have made 4 cards, The two below are in traditional Christmas Colours  Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla with some Gold added. I have sponged the Embossed Very Vanilla mat with Crumb Cake, the Cherry Cobbler piece under the Snowflakes is embossed with the Snowflake Flurry Embossing Folder.
Each card has two pieces of the Venetian Lace to give the impression that it is wider.

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,

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers day to all the Dads, as it is Fathers day I thought I would share a quick and easy card today which (I cased this card from one on Pinterest but it used the For All seasons stamp set) the background is so effective but easy all you have to do is add ink to your embossing folder by gently tapping your ink pad over the side with the ridges. You then place your piece of card stock over the inked up side and gently rub over it or use a brayer. We then stamped one of the images from Work of Art and a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. The Dad was cut out using the fabulous new Little Letters Thinlets, We added some Burlap Ribbon and a Basic Metal Button (which was coloured using the Early Espresso Marker) just make sure you leave the button to dry.





Stamps: Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Work Of Art,
Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso marker
Cardstock: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Other: Big Shot, Magnetic Plate, Little letters Thinlits,
Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Basic Metal Button, Burlap Ribbon, Linen Thread
Glue Dots, Tombow Multi Adhesive
