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.

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.

F is for Foil
I am back with another card for my alphabet series. This time the letter is F and I used a foil background on this card. I have bought several packs of ink jet backgrounds to foil. I chose the hexagon shapes background, using a rainbow foil. I ran it through my laminator and it came out so pretty. My grandson turns 3 in June and he loves our cat, so I thought this would be a card that he would like.
Stamp: UnknownThanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

E is for Embossing Powder
Hi and welcome to my blog. I am showing a card today for my alphabet series and today the letter is E. On this card I used embossing powder. Embossing powder is what got me into the stamping world many years ago. When I saw the powder magically change when heated, I was hooked! I must say that I have not used embossing powder for a long time now. I found some marbling embossing powder in my stash and decided to "paint" the flower with it. I used a Versa Marker to color in the areas of the flower, added the embossing powder over it and heat set it. You can see some of the marbling on both the petals and leaf.

D is for Doily
Hi and welcome to my blog! I am showing another card for my Alphabet series and today is the letter D. I found some doilies in my stash where I had used punches to make the doily. I used some tissue paper, cut out a circle shape using a die and then folded the tissue paper into a small triangle - much like the fold to make a snowflake. I used 3 punches - the pansy on the large end of the tirangle, then a heart and small circle punch. I remember making these a long time ago and just found them while I was moving!

Alphabet Soup - B is for bokeh
Hi and welcome to my blog. I am going through the alphabet this year and using a craft item or doing a card technique that starts with a letter of the alphabet. Today is the letter B and I have used the bokeh technique on this card. Instead of using circles like normal, I used flowers for the technique. If you are not familiar with what the bokeh technique is, here is a link.
I sponged on several colors of Oxide inks and then used a flower stencil and sponged through the stencil using white pigment ink.
