Border stamp & Heat Embossing

I am a big fan of heat embossing! It did take me a while to get a heat gun and it’s not even a craft heat gun. I couldn’t find one locally within a reasonable price. While searching online, someone said they used a DIY heat tool for their art project and it worked well so I finally got a DIY heatgun.

All About Food

We all love food, right? Whether they are healthy or sinful option, there’s something for everybody.  Who can resist a card filled with all sorts of foods! 

I made this card for a friend who really enjoys food, be it cooking, eating or even critique about it.

I looked through all my stamps and took out all those with food images. There were images from a variety of companies on this card; Sweet Stamp Shop Fruity, Bacon Break, Just Icons, Fall into Christmas (discontinued), Mama Elephant Lunar Extras, Lawn Fawn Just for You and MFTStamps Mon Cherie. 

The images were then coloured with glitter gel pens to give it shine and interest. The sentiment strip was cut from white card stock and stamp with a sentiment from MFT Beary HappyBirthday.

This card was easy to pull together and made use of small images that you have in your stash. Hope this card inspires you to use some of the less used stamps you have.

The Greeting Farm Little Mermaids

These little mermaids from The Greeting Farm was so, sooo cute I can’t believe it took me so long to play with them. I finally got round to colouring them last September and made 3 cards with them last month. Yes, I am a very slow card maker. I have a demanding day job so I craft whenever I have the energy and time.

Rainbow series 4 - cut out shaker card

Hi there!  I hope you are enjoying my series of posts on using scraps useful. As crafters, we not only generate a lot of scraps, we also had rejects or cards that we messed up. Today I am sharing how I messed up a card I was working on and what I did to make the most out of it. I try not to discard things without knowing I had done what I could to salvage it.

Just a little note...

Hello and welcome again. If you are here for the first time, thanks for coming over, I hope you will find the blog useful and help to inspire you.

For this card, I used the stamp set from Mama Elephant FairFeathers. I find this stamp set very classy and suitable for most occasion. It would be very useful for masculine card, which was always challenging for me.

Christmas 2017 - Holiday Floral Background

Hello and Happy New Year! Today I am sharing another Christmas card design. I know Christmas is long over but I had some technical problem with my laptop a week before Christmas and I only got it fixed just before New Year and could only post after then. For 2017, I decided to choose 2 products and see what I could made from them. This is the second product and it is using the Hero Arts Holiday Floral Bold Prints.
