HELLO Blendabilities

This card was made in this month's Blendabilities class.  This is a favorite technique of mine.  I stamped the flower border image from Bordering Blooms stamp set with VersaMark and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder.  Once it cooled down I used the darkest Rich Razzleberry and the medium Old Olive Blendabilities to color over the white embosses image.

Colored EmbossingThis technique kind of reminds me of my kids playing with a Lite Brite.  I'm not sure why but the colored image on the black background just reminds of that.  We then colored the Rhinestones with the darkest Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities.  Hello from the Hi There stamp set is stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink.

If you haven't tried the Blendabilities yet, I highly recommend them — they are loads of fun to use.

Mingle All the Way

This is the last of September's Christmas Stamp-a-Stack cards.  The All is Calm designer paper is definitely my favorite and the ladies all loved it too.

Mingle All the WayWe stamped the Mingle All the Way stamp with VersaMark ink and the heat embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder.  The shapes are cut with the Deco Labels Framelits. 

Everyone made two cards of each of the five designs I have shown — 10 cards in one evening.  By the middle of November they will have 30 cards to mail out to family and friends.  Are you ready to join me for October's Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Class??

Baby It’s Cold Outside

Baby's It's Cold Outside — though that's not really true right now — we are still enjoying fall — this card is a quick, easy holiday card.  It features the All is Calm designer paper and the 2" circle punch.

Baby It's ColdThe Christmas Tree and the words are from the Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.
