Country Home - No DSP

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy Friday.....yipeeeeee!!! Hope you had a great week and have a fabulous weekend planned.  The Country Home stamp set is my stamp of choice for today's card.


This card (like many of my cards) does not use any DSP. I have chosen to use the Tufted Embossing Folder for a subtle background. A vellum die cut shape and Black Bakers twine have been added over the Soft Sea Foam card front. The tile image has been stamped onto Soft Sea Foam card in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut.

The images have been coloured using Stampin' Blends and fussy cut. Mini dimensionals were used to adhere all the images over the stamped tile panel and vellum.

The card front has been adhered to a layer of black card stock which was then adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty x

Just Add Ink #422 - Embossing - First Frost

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope you have had a great week. Its challenge time over at Just Add Ink, and this week, Rochelle has challenged us to Just Add Embossing. This could be Heat Embossing, Embossing Paste or Embossing Folders.

Image may contain: text

I chose to use Heat Embossing and a couple of different Embossing Folders - I have run out of Embossing Paste! Bugga it! Lol I probably would have added a teeny weeny bit of that too if I still had some.

I have used a stunning stamp set from the new HOLIDAY CATALOGUE, called First Frost. The floral images were stamped and sponged and then with a paint brush, I have painted Tombow and then applied Dazzling Diamonds. 

The three panels that the stamped images rest on, have been embossed using two folders - Subtle and Tufted. The other Embossed element in my card is the sentiment, which has been stamped in Soft Sea Foam and then Clear Heat Embossed.

The Soft Sea Foam foliage has been adhered with Tombow and the Flowers over the top with mini dimensionals.
