Mystery Stamping with Jaimie

 I am so far behind in posting my cards but here is one that I made yesterday with my SU upline & team. She called it Mystery Stamping. We were given the basic supplies & paper dimensions that we needed but she did not tell us the final sketch/layout of the card. It was fun to see what everyone came up in the end. Here is my card.

It's a pretty straight forward card.  I recently bought some liquid appliqué and I wanted to try it out so I added it to the tree branches to look like snow.  It's interesting stuff. You apply it, let it dry & then heat it with a heat tool. When it gets hot it puffs up. Very fun!

Dimensions of cardstock pieces:

White: 3-5/8 x 4-5/8”

Cherry Cobbler: 2-1/2 x 4-1/2”

dsp: 1 x 4-1/2”

All Is Calm

Another card for the Wednesday Simon Says Stamp Challenge to use a clear stamp.

I don't do much embossing, probably because I never like how it turns out, but I had this idea and wanted to give it a go. Well I still like the idea but as you can see the embossing did have issues.

Everything is stamped with VersaMark and then embossed with white. I used an embossing buddy and still got little speckles plus the trees just didn't quite emboss all the way.  And this was the third try. Do I need a new embossing buddy, a new VersaMark pad, new embossing powder, clean the stamp better???  Couldn't be my technique, right :-)   Any advice out there?  Maybe I'll give it one more try.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Snow Drifts

Good Morning!  I have a card today that uses Papertrey Ink's new Cover Plate: Snow Drifts die.

Here you can see how a couple of the little trees are popped up. I then added the sentiment and also stamped some falling snow with VersaMark and then embossed with white.  Finally some twine finished it off.

A pretty easy card using the cover plate. Thanks for stopping by!
