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.

This is a very simple bag to make. The sentiment is actually a journaling card from the Hand Penned Memory & More cards. I fussy cut the sentiment out and stuck it on at an angle for a little sass. You can leave the base open and store the bag flat, just sticking it when you want to use it.

I love how this turned out. The little clip closure is from my stash. I have a ton of them as I love pretty stationery stuff. Who doesn’t? This paper is the new Heart & Home designer series paper (DSP). It reminds me of Spring which is hopefully on its way soon. I have a ton of these boxes in the craft room, just waiting to be gifted out.

Delicate Dahlias – How to Make Stamping Easy

Dahlias are beautiful flowers. I love going to our local nursery and seeing the sea of blooms. It’s so difficult to resist buying them all!! My favourite are the Waterfly style ones as opposed to the PomPom and Cactus styles. The bees also prefer the more open flowers as it’s easier to reach the pollen.

The background seemed too plain to me so I embossed it with the Bloom 3D embossing folder to give it some added interest. It works well without taking anything away from the focal image.

I love making thank you cards. We don’t send enough of them I feel. Such a little gesture can mean so much to someone. This one is very simple and has quite a few layers that pop from each other. The black and white designer series paper (DSP) is a freebie I got in Sale-a-bration. I love getting free paper but then what crafter wouldn’t?

Autumn Style Thank You Card – Made Easy

Autumn Style Thank You Card – Made Easy – Beauty of Friendship – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card is so simple but so effective. I used the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper (DSP) to cut out the canopy of the tree. It is the same paper I’ve used in the background. I gutted the centre of the paper to make the tree canopy. This means I cut out the centre and then still use the outer shell. The basic white layer on top hides all the mess. This is a great way to make your DSP stretch further.

Colour me Beautiful – Grateful Card – Beautiful Penned DSP – Ornate Thanks – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card uses only one colour, Polished Pink, I don’t count black and white as colours and doesn’t it look fabulous. I love pink flowers they are so bold and happy. These flowers are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. A firm favourite of mine to colour with as they make shading so easy.

  • Beautifull Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 13.85cm X 10cm cut in three pannells.

I love these flowers from the Art Gallery stamp set. I’ve used them a number of times and they are always the star of the show. In and around Lincoln I’ve been seeing lots of red poppies. This inspired me to do some red flowers for this card. The gilded gems for the flower centres are the perfect finishing touch.
