I love the new in-colour, Orchid Oasis. It’s beautiful!! This card was created using second and first-generation stamping. It creates this lovely tonal variation in colour in the background. The hydrangea is heat embossed in white embossing powder so that it pops from the background.

I adore this Hello Ladybug stamp set and have used it a number of times already. This little ladybird is just so cute. I’ve heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder so that it can be seen against the red patterned paper. Hopefully, this ladybird will make your wishes come true.

I don’t think I’ve ever shared a mini slimline card with you before. They are a cute size. There is much less space to fill up so they are perfect for fast and easy cards.

I’ve stepped this card by gold heat embossing the sentiment. Heat embossing always makes a card something special. There is something magical about the dull powder turning gold and shiny.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of May we are looking at using designer series paper (DSP) in different ways. Today I am using the gorgeous Hugs of Happiness DSP to make lots of die cuts to use on my card. They are the focal image for this floral birthday card.

The Hugs of Happiness DSP is simply gorgeous. I absolutely love it!! I’m already planning to my a second pack. Paper-like this is so useful. You can fussy cut these florals if you want but the dies that match the stamp set also cut out the flowers in this DSP. Super useful!! It really stretches this paper and gives you a ton of die cuts.

This is a companion card to the gift box that I made in the previous blog post. They both use the “You’re a Peach” designer series paper (DSP). This is a really easy card to make but still has that wow factor due to the heat embossed sentiment. It’s heat embossed in gold embossing powder to match the gold metallic sheet that I’ve used a mat for both the sentiment and DSP.

Welcome to another Focus Friday post. Every month I chose a particular area of crafting. Each Friday in that month we explore a different technique in that area. Today we are looking at using heat embossing with your stencils or masks.

This is actually a very easy technique. I just have a few tips to share with you. Firstly clean your mask/stencil of Versarmark ink well so that it doesn’t dry on the stencil. Secondly, make sure you tape your stencil down to your cardstock with a low tack tape so that it doesn’t move around. Thirdly have a little paintbrush handy to brush off any excess powder.

How to White Heat Emboss on Black Card

This is a really simple card but so effective. I always love the magic of heat embossing. The dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful. The only real way to get the sentiment to show bright white on dark cardstock is to white heat emboss it.

I’ve matted the black on a lovely piece of patterned paper from the Sunshine & Rainbows stack. I love the bright and saturated colours.

How is everyone doing? Only a few weeks until Christmas. Are you excited? Yes, I am. I love the build-up to Christmas with all the lovely music, pretty lights and of course Christmas movies.

Here is a snowflake card I have to share with you today. I heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder. They look so vibrant against the Night of Navy background. If you use a white craft ink it will never look as bright as white heat embossing. I used rhinestones in the centre of each snowflake for that extra bling effect!!

Using a Sentiment to Make a Background – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I just used one simple sentiment, repeatedly stamped to make this background. It’s quite effective. I stamped using versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This gives a tone on tone effect but also some dimension to the background. The focal image is a journalling card from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Memory & More pack. Easy card to make and easy to repeat.

This is a really easy Christmas card to make. The Evergreen Elegance stamp set has a few trees of different sizes and heights to make your own forest. I stamped in Shaded Spruce as I love the lovely vibrant, saturated green it gives. The top of the card looked a little bare so I heat embossed the sentiment and stars in gold embossing powder. It wasn’t always easy to see the versamark ink for the stars, I can tell you.
