E is for Embossing


Hello again,


I had a very quick tidy of my desk and found the scrap of distress oxide background that I used on these two cards and decided to use it up rather than file it away for later, where I would undoubtedly forget about it completely. I have used a new stamp I bought last year at a craft show from Crafty Individuals which I inked up in clear embossing ink and then heat embossed it in white embossing powder, I used the other end of the scrap to heat emboss both the large and small holly from Kaisercraft ‘Holly’ stamp and die cut the sentiment panel out before layering it on some silver embossed paper. 


Here is my card:-


What I used:-

White 12.6x17.8cm (5x7”) card blank

Distress oxide background (wilted violet, picked raspberry and peacock feathers) (scrap)

White cardstock (large scrap)

Silver embossed paper (scrap box)

Memento tuxedo black and clear embossing ink pads

White embossing powder
MFT Cross Stitched rectangle dies

Kaisercraft ‘Holly’ clear stamp

Crafty Individuals sentiment stamp

Clearly Besotted simple saying stamp

Black fine line pen

Clear sequins

Adhesives Double sided tape and foam tape

Beary Christmas

Hello again,

A beautiful sunny spring day today, all of our fruit trees are in full bloom and we are looking forward to a crop of peaches and cherries over the next few months. I’m still going on my Christmas cards, perhaps I should check in on how many more I have actually made now. Todays card features a cute little bear from Bugaboo. Confession time, I couldn’t bring myself to cut into a whole square of paper just for the thin brown strip and used the patterned waste edge from the paper pad…. I am joining in with Beccy's Place month of Holiday cards this one being 'B' is for Bear
