CHRISTMAS CARDS

oh my !!!! seems like forever since I made my last blog post.

Have been super busy at work and that doesn't leave a lot of time for creating !

BUT I have been able to make some Christmas cards using the lovely range 

of Kaszazz Christmas papers and stamps.

hope everyone is gearing up for Christmas in a stress free way !!

Until next time, which will hopefully be soon,

Remember to take some time out for YOU !

EMBEDDED IMAGE TECHNIQUE

Finally got some ME time to play in my craft room.

I've been away for 2 weeks staying with a crafting friend <smiles> and we shopped till we dropped, including going to Paperific Expo in Melbourne.

Also am now back working fulltime, Monday - Friday !

Anyways I came across this technique on Splitcoast Stampers

called the Embedded Image technique

and decided it looked interesting and something I wanted to try

So here's my take on it - I must admit I did add a "step" to the instructions - 

in overstamping with Stazon ink at the end of the technique 

SUPPLIES USED:

Nestabilities - Lacey Ovales

StampIt  - Butterfly

Clear inkpad ; Stazon - black inkpad

Clear and red embossing powers

Heat gun

Martha Stewart - lacy border punch

Pink cardstock

Cuttlebug

Flowers embossing folder

Green and pink background papers

Pink rhinestones

Kaszazz - pink ribbon

Doubleside tape and glue dots

With love tag

Till next time, keep smiling
