Embossing Paste with Stencils

 Hello again, 

We are enjoying some lovely Autumn weather here in Australia, clear blue skies, and great weather for the local fire brigades to do some preventative burn-offs of the undergrowth. We currently have three fires burning in the valley on the north side of the village, in our case the Grose Valley, which is more fire prone at least in our area due to wind and conditions in summer months. 

I am again joining in with the lovely ladies at Group of Seven this month's product is Embossing Paste, I have one art store nearby who knows how to charge accordingly, Christine had a recipe to make your own embossing paste which is very similar to the one from Shaz in Oz.

I mixed embossing paste

20g Baby powder
20g White Paint
10g PVA glue

mixed in an empty yoghurt cup until smooth, adding water as it thickened slightly. I used old plastic gift cards to spread the embossing paste over the stencil.

I did not plan on storing this so used it until it was gone. I managed to make 13 pieces and used some plain as is, and others used Distress Oxide re-inkers to add colour.

My first card has a mix of three distress oxide colours added over a leaf stencil from a magazine set called fabulous foliage. I added clear embossing powder after removing the stencil and heat set it a couple of hours later.  Sentiment layered in black and the same dark green cardstock.

What I used:

White 12.6x17.8cm card blank
Fabulous Foliage Stencil set from Magazine
Homemade embossing paste
Distress Oxide re-inkers, Mustard Seed, Festive Berries and Ripe Persimmon
Elizabeth Crafts Happy Birthday sentiments
Black, Orange leather-grained and Dark green cardstock
Green flat backed gem
PVA Glue, Double sided tape


I would like to enter this card in: 
Creative Knockouts 544 Embossing Delights (Heat embossed over the texture paste)

Thank you for looking in...
Have a wonderful week...

Dry Embossed highlights

 Hello again,

Our weather has settled back down to our usual summer temperatures here, warm enough for us, as we get few extremely hot days, a visitor once asked us to put the air-con on, we may get 10-15 of the really hot days where I live so we and most homes in our region don't own air-conditioners... 

We have had a family of King Parrot's coming to visit, the male will eat from my hand... I will try to take a photo the next time they stop by...

I am joining in with the lovely ladies over at Group of Seven Cardmakers, this month the technique is Dry Embossed Highlights over ink blending. 

Here is my card:

What I used:

White 14cm cardblank
Black paper
Lisa Horton 3D embossing folder 'Fancy Foliage' (Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine)
White Cardstock (American Crafts)
Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Luck Clover Distress Oxide inks
Versamark clear and white ink pads
Fern Die cut (magazine)
MFT Essential Sentiments
White embossing powder
MFT pierced Fishtail flags
Silver glitter paper scrap
(edit) Adhesives Double sided tape, PVA glue

I have a Cuttlebug, if anyone else wonders what 'sandwich', white base plate, 3D folder and cardstock and 'C' plate... 


Thank you for looking in...
Have a wonderful week...

Ombre in Pinks

 Hello again,

Well, the last day of 2024 has arrived and here I am with a new Christmas card to start off my new stash of cards for Christmas 2025. I only just managed to get my skates on to join in with the last months challenge with the lovely ladies at Group of Seven, this time I have managed to get going and making my card early this month using the design element of Ombre. 

I have used three of my Distress Oxide inks on plain cardstock starting in the middle with Picked Raspberry ink allowing the edges to soften as I move away from the centre, adding Spun Sugar ink to one end and blending over the top of the softened edge of picked raspberry, finally I opted for using Seedless Preserves starting at the edge of the card and working inwards to the softened edge of picked raspberry, ending up with variations from light to dark from the top down.

I have used Darkroom Door stamp set 'Brushed Christmas Vol.1' tree and star stamp which are heat embossed in Wow! Superfine Silver glitter powder adding a sentiment from LOTV 'Large Christmas Greetings' in White embossing powder. Adding a doodled border around the piece before adhering to the card base. The embossing ink was drying quickly in the heat, and we are expecting a cool change in a couple of days, before another return to mid 30C's

Here is my card:


What I used:

White 12.6x17.8cm card blank
White cardstock
Distress Oxide inks Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves
Darkroom Door Brushed Christmas Vol.1 
LOTV Large Christmas 
Clear embossing ink 
Embossing powders White and silver glitter
Black fine line pen

I need to print off some gift tags today as I have run out and so has the local store, I made this card for a friend who is travelling to see his parents for Christmas at the beach... the top seems to lean a little forward and perhaps the sentiment should have been placed down one side...

 Hello again, 

Summer is definitely on its way, we are currently being serenaded (deafened) by thousands of Cicadas, I have seen several of the different varieties all (males) of which are noisy.... maybe not as loud as a few years ago when there was an abundance of double drummers, the local electricity company was around pruning plants away from overhead wires and stopped long enough to complain about the noise. I am off this week for my scans which will hopefully see my ankle repaired for the second time. 

Today brings us to an all new Anything goes challenge with my teammates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Polkadoodles who kindly allowed two of our team to choose images for us to use.

 Hello again,

I am again joining the ladies at Group of Seven Card makers with their most recent gallery calling for torn edges, I have used two of the Woodware Clear Nativity Silhouette set and a Distress Oxide blend from Kristina Werner, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves, with Black Soot to stamp and ink in the torn edge. My torn edge is from the back of an old Christmas card, having used a tag die to re-use the card front for gift tags. 

Stamped images and sentiment are clear heat embossed, sprayed with a mini mister from Crafts-4-U from one of the big craft stores at the Aussie Shows, a few larger dots added.

Here is my card


What I used

We have been busy, the ceiling inside my built-in-robe got a large back flow from the roof gutters, resulting in the too high to reach shelf being infested with mould. Ceiling is down and the roofing people are coming in a fortnight to repair the outside issues, before we can even attempt to replace the plasterboard ceiling.

Two of a Kind

Hello Again,

 

I am back with another pair of cards, this time using unusual colours for Christmas, I inked an A4 sheet with Distress oxides, I used a scrunched up nappy wipe to add interest to the ink before over doing the water spray over a star stencil. Large stars are supplies I bought from a toy/craft supply store while working in a preschool, I think there must be about 5 of each of the five colours left to use up... added a doodled border in metallic purple, the silver pen appears to have dried out, stored in the same packet. 

What I used:

MFT Sentiment stamp
Prize Ribbon, Wilted Violet and Peacock Feathers
Clear embossing ink
Silver sparkle Embossing powder
Star Stencil
Purple Gel Ink pen

Twin Trees

 Hello again,

Well, I am back with a pair of Christmas cards, to join in with some of the current challenges, getting ready for Christmas. 

I followed the instructions with the Group of Seven Cardmakers ladies to make this pair of cards, heat embossing the background using Kaisercraft 'script' stamp (5cmx13cm) four times for each card, I did this on a cooler night as the days before have been more like Summer, placed the Christmas tree stencil from a magazine over, inked with Mowed Lawn, Candied Apple and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink. Sentiment stamped onto scraps of red card stock and heat embossed in white powder. 



What I used:
Kaisercraft 'Script' clear stamp
Christmas Tree Stencil
Stitched rectangle die
MFT Christmas Stamps (sentiment)
2 white 12.6x17.8cm card blank (5x7")
Clear and White Embossing powders 
Distress Oxide Inks, Candied Apple, Fossilized Amber, Mowed Lawn, 
Red cardstock
Adhesives:- Double sided tape

I would like to enter these cards in:

Two visitors in the garden, Australian Magpies, adult bird at the front, baby bird at the back. As sweet as some Magpies are others are extremely territorial and these birds are known to swoop, sometimes causing severe injuries to those who wander, ride, play too close to their nests. 

Have a wonderful week...

Couple of Cards

 Hello again, 

I'm enjoying a couple of much cooler days after a week long heat wave 33C+, my poor budgies are all fluffed up trying to keep warm (14C) and have started moulting... while running back-up on my computer this morning I decided to make another Christmas card for my stash. This one is number 8 for the year... 


This card is a total scrap/snippet job I stamped the dog onto a snippet of white card stock and heat embossed in black powder before scribbling with watercolour pencils on another scrap of card and painting them onto the image. I die cut the sentiment from a scrap of silver paper and on the photo the Christmas looks a little lost against the background, not so bad IRL. The holly and berries were cut from some more scraps from Doodlebug papers.. the green leaves are from a different paper pad there are flowers on the back.... 

MFT Deck the Howls stamp set
Doodlebug North Pole/Santa Express Papers
Scrap silver paper with Adhesive sheet on back
Spellbinders 'Christmas' sentiment die
MFT 'Wishes' sentiment die
MFT Stitched inner/outer rounded rectangle die
Cottage Cutz Holly and berries die
Wink of Stella on ornaments

I would like to enter this card in:

I have also made one birthday card using my distress oxide inks smooshing them on my gelli plate, spritzing with water, heat drying before moving on to the next colour. I then using the same colours to paint the heat embossed butterfly adding a tiny drop of water so the colours are brighter inside the stamped image.

edit... not sure how but forgot to add the watermark over my card...

Katzelkraft Daisy Butterfly
Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet and Fossilised Amber
Clear embossing ink
Whispers Opaque and black Embossing powder
Pink, white, silver card 
MFT Essential Sentiments stamp
