Holly Sprigs

 Hi Crafters,

Two weeks have passed and it's time to share my second Guest Designer card for the current challenge at

Christmas Craft Creations

The theme for the challenge is Heat Embossing and I have heat embossed everything on this card. The Holly leaves and sentiment are from the stamp and die set that I won from this challenge last month and the background stamp is by Paula Pascual.

Here it is again tilted to the light to show the embossing

You still have plenty of time to enter the challenge so get those embossing powders out and have some fun!

Bye for now,

Christmas Card Club Challenge #13 - Music

 Hi Crafters,

I'm a little behind with posting my Christmas card club makes today but here we are now.

Our theme this week is

MUSIC

I managed to make two cards this time.

The embossed background is a Crafters Companion Embossing Folder and I have added dark gold gilding wax to highlight the notes. Both sentiments are from Sue Wilson, I do love her dies, they cut so beautifully. Then lastly, but of course most importantly are the 'Scandi Gnomes' I love these cute tree carrying gnomes which are Tattered Lace dies and Charisma layered up to make lovely 3D toppers.

Allsorts Challenge #628 - Butterflies & Bugs

 Hi Crafters,

It's time to bring you my DT project for the new challenge at Allsorts.

We hope you will join in with us and create your Butterfly and Bugs projects.

I have used a Woodware Stamp and created two different cards. Both were heat embossed in white, I used Distress Oxides on one and stamped and paper pieced the other using some of my pixie powder backgrounds from other projects.

I even managed to use one of my Martha Stewart punches along the edge, these haven't been used for such a long time :o/

I dry embossed the background with a Tattered Lace Alphabet Folder and used a Tonic Sentiment stamp which was heat embossed on to vellum.

Here they are together.

Heat Embossing

 Hi Crafters,

I won the challenge at Christmas Craft Creations a few weeks ago and was so pleased to be asked to join them as a Guest Designer for the month of June.

Their theme this month is

HEAT EMBOSSING

I thought I would use the prize that I won on that challenge to create my card as it was a lovely set of Christmas stamps and dies.

I have tried a CAS design this time.

Here it is again but tilted towards the light to hopefully show up all of the gold heat embossed details.

Everything has been heat embossed, the lovely poinsettia outline stamp, then I stamped again and used the dies to cut out the poinsettia layers. These have been coloured using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Little Red Wagon - #605 Make It CAS

Aud Sentiments - #276 ATG + Sentiment

Alphabet Challenge - E is for Easy, Simple Card

My Time To Craft - #458 Floral

CHNC Every Saturday - #545 ATG Christmas

Thank you for visiting, I will be sharing my second card as Guest Designer using these lovely stamps and dies in a couple of weeks time, hope to see you again.
