H is for Heat Embossing

I am on letter H for my alphabet series. I used heat embossing on this card. Heat embossing is what got me hooked on stamping and I have been stamping now for 3 decades! I love to heat emboss on patterned paper because the embossing makes the stamp stand out better than just stamping with ink. I was thrilled the other day when I went into Dollar Tree and found this beautiful bicycle stamp! I had to use it right away.


Stamp:  Bicycle - Crafter's Square
             Saying - Crafter's Square
Embossing Powder:  Concord - Sparkle N Sprinkle
Patterned Paper and Butterfly:  Art Options - 49 and Market
Label Sticker - American Crafts

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

G is for Gilding Flakes

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am showing another card in my alphabet series and today the letter is G. I used gilding flakes on my card. I do not use these often, but I love how they add so much to the card. I daubed alcohol inks on yupo paper and then while the alcohol ink was still tacky I added the copper and gold gilding flakes. 


Stamps:  Seashells Stamp Set - Art Gone Wild
Saying:  Special Seahorse - Petticoat Parlor
Alchol Inks - Ranger
Gilding Flakes - Unknown
Blue Sparkle Enamel Dots

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
