Didn’t this turn out well? I love it. I heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder. This is the best way to get a bright white colour on a coloured background. If you use white craft ink the effect is still muted and not bright white. The snowflake stamp is one little stamp that I stamped and stamped again. Just make sure you keep turning the stamp around to change the orientation. This makes sure it doesn’t look repetitive.

This card is stunning. I love heat embossing. It never loses its magic. This dull powder turning into something glossy and shiny. So pretty!! The sentiment is from the fabulous Holly Jolly Wishes which I am using a lot. I love all the sentiments. They are so versatile for an array of cards, bags, boxes and other projects.

I gutted the green foil sheet with a small stitched rectangular die so that I could save the spare for a future project. As crafters we hate to waste such gorgeous paper, don’t we?

This turned out so well. I used the snowflake stencil from the Adorning pack of stencils. I used the blending brushes with Balmy Blue and then Pacific Point to make this background. The snowflakes are then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

When I was a child I used to play a game with my father. I would yell “I’m the gingerbread man and you can’t catch me” and then run. A gave of tag if you will. This card reminds me of that silly children’s game.

These gingerbread shapes are heat embossed with white embossing powder on Cinamon cider cardstock. They really look like iced gingerbread. So darling!! I took my inspiration from the matching Gingerbread and Peppermint designer series paper (DSP).

  • Cinamon Cider Cardstock A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP – Half a sheet – 3″ X 6″.

Candy Canes – How to Heat Emboss a Background

Gosh, I’m so pleased with how this turned out. I wanted to make this card ever since I first saw the Candy Canes stamp set in the catalogue. The contrast between the white heat embossing and the red background is so striking.

Heat embossing is very easy to do but always feels like magic to me. This dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful as it melts under the heat tool. To make this card I used a larger panel than I needed of real red so that I could cut it down to get or of any imperfections around the edges. Please do watch the video and try it yourself. Enjoy the magic!!!

Who has dreamt of flying into space? Those of you of a certain age will remember making rockets with Fairy washing up liquid bottles. Unfortunately they have now changed the shape but many a child impatiently waited for the bottle to finish to make a rocket. I loved playing like that, we didn’t need lots of toys as a good imagination did the trick.

I love anything that has a mixed-media vibe to it. So much fun to play with colours, different textures and techniques. This background started off as a plain piece of basic white cardstock, can you believe it?

I’ve combined the embossed heat resist technique and blending brushes. It creates this gorgeous card. The butterflies are all one stamp set; Butterfly Brilliance.

There are no other words for it, this paper is simply gorgeous. It is the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (DSP). The paper is busy and therefore if you did too much to it I feel it would detract from the beauty of the paper. I finished the card off with a simple white heat embossed sentiment from the accompanying stamp set, Art Gallery. It is matted on a strip of gold foil sheet for that elegant feel.

I’ve been having fun playing with my new blending brushes. Initially I ordered one pack which has three brushes but recently order two more packs I now a brush for each colour in the colour wheel as well as grey and brown. I just clean them off after use on a towel and they are good to go.

I used three different blues to create this background starting with lightest, Balmy Blue, then Pacific Point and finally Night of Navy. Layering the colours always creates extra depth and interest in the background I feel.

  • Basic White – Quarter A4 sheet.
