Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I made some cards with the Heat Embossing technique - one of my favorites.

I heat embossed Hero Arts pot (in gold) and succulent (in silver), watercolored them with diluted dye inks, and fussy cut them. I die cut and dry embossed a panel, stamped a sentiment and added some metallic paint. Then, adhered the panel on card base, and stamped images on with Foam Tape.

Tip: Use Heat Embossing to cover up mistakes (or patterns you don't like)...lol!

Not going to lie...I die cut the "gloves", dry embossed and colored them with alcohol-based markers, but did not like the end result, so I heat embossed them in gold and silver! Then just layered some scrap papers, stamped a sentiment and added a ScanNCut heart with Foam Tape.

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

This is a metal die from CTMH Daisy Meadows Cardmaking Workshop Kit and ever since I saw it, I had this idea...to make it into a...

The arch on top makes for perfect handles! The stamps and flower die cuts come with the Kit. You get 4 of those, so you don't have to run 1 die a bunch of times. I embossed the sides with a floral embossing folder from my stash. You can fill it with small treats!

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I made a Pop-Up Box Card a long time ago (click HERE to see the post)...so, thought it was time to make similar cards with the same concept, but different designs...

These cards were inspired by Challenges that are using Book covers as inspiration...

The first one is very easy, since I used a Die Cut Set (Card In a Box - Christmas by Sizzix) plus other dies by Spellbinders...do you see a camouflaged birdie?

The second one was inspired by a card I saw on the homepage of SplitCoastStampers.com + me trying to make the most out of double-sided papers (I plan to make a video soon once I recover my voice...who knows when that will happen! lol!)

I used double-sided PP and some die cuts from Spellbinders, others are Sizzix and SU!, CTMH Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set, alcohol-based markers, Blue Belle Sequins, and an embossing folder from my stash. I made the box myself (unlike the previous box, which was die cut).

I was inspired by the "There's a Tiger in the Garden" cover...the plants, butterfly and flowers...just don't have a tiger on it...but I used the color orange!
