cute carton.

Hi every one,

Been having a play with the  "cute carton template`s"  from create and craft, by stamps away, you got the large and small template, this one is the large 9" tall.
well you can make them for  all sort`s of occasions, mine is a keepsake one.


 
love this embossing folder, oldish one by Couture Creations  Fresh and Fun Collection  "hyper Magical" 5x7  here oyster stamps    I ink the folder to give a bit of colour.
I also  embossed the card piece separate the adhered to the carton.
I put Velcro fastening in the top, rather than threading the ribbon through, easier that keep untying the bow.

blue and white chistmas card

Good Morning everyone,

Warm welcome to new follower,  welcome to all followers and visitors.
 lovely day here beautiful sunshine & breeze,  in the middle of a good clean and washing.

Christmas card, another technique I have not tried before, using a embossing folder and heat embossing with glitter embossing powder, just on the raised design.
I found this technique on U-Tube.. sorry lost the link.



close up of the embossing, sorry white on white, hope you can see the effect.
 
I stamped the sentiment first, then die cut the card, with memory box "Landscape border" die, then embossed in the folder Couture Creations "Jolly Christmas".
next rub over your embossing with a antistatic bag!!!, using a roller, roll over the raised design, with versamark ink, next sprinkle with glitter embossing powder and heat with you tool.
If you do not use the antistatic bag , your powder does stick to the background as well.

pearl flourish useing stamps

hi Everyone,

warm welcome to all followers and visitors.
miserable here today, Warm but raining.

This is how I did my the doeflex off cuts to make  my pearl flourish on the last card,

I did see the idea on blog land somewhere, but sorry I cannot find you a link, all it was the stamps she had used.

this is what I used..     Fiskars stamp press (best thing I ever purchased)   oyster stamps



you could use your own pearls or gems, do large or small gaps inbetween the dots



these are the eyelet setters Fiskars think they are still about.
this is the Inkadinkado stamp I used, you could use any flourish, the dots do help.
 
thank you for calling by my blog today .  pam.

Pearl flourish... Made a template from a flourish stamp, I stamped onto  doeflex of cuts, made holes in this, put  in potion, where I wanted my pearl flourish then marked with pencil through the holes, used liquid pearls..(These are so expensive to by)LOL.

Hi everyone,
Back at last,  sorry been very busy doing ..birthday and DT cards, cannot blog  some of them till next week.
 Thank you to new followers and followers, hope you get some inspiration from your visit, if you would like to comment, I`ll return the complement and visit you in return.lol.



Today's card uses  new Couture Creations embossing folder "Moonlit Berries" 5x7 size,  you can the folder collection "Wrapped in Joy" in 5x7 and A2.   here at   oyster stamps  
I have embossed the papers Graphic45   "Twelve days of Christmas" oysters again, as yet not on the web site.
Also the red card, learnt something new here...I use my  xyron  ..so after I embossed the card ran it through the xyron machine, when I turned the sticky side up (Deboss) the sticky  had only stuck the raised embossing,  so I glittered it. just think of all the things that stick to glue..will use this again.
Enough waffling from me this is the card. 7x7.
