YOUR NEXT STOP ON THE HOP ——>>>>> Tania Ridgwell. <<<<———-

One thing I like to do is create my own glitter paste with Transparent Gloss texture paste and mix it up with the WOW! Embossing Powder Sparkles or Earth Sparkles. I like making my own for the projects that I need so I don’t have to buy a whole jar of glitter paste and just make my own as I need it. For my first card I have used the Holiday Bliss pattern paper for the card base. For the coloured inked panel I have swiped the the navy panel around the edges to create a matted panel which I have also done the same for the layered die cut sentiment. For all my projects I have used both the Merry and Bright stencil and the Holly stencil.

For a different effect but still playing with pastes as a medium I have used embossing paste. Instead of mixing the sparkles within the paste I place the paste through the Holly stencil and while wet and tacky pour the Oh Dorothy sparkle over the top. I set aside to dry the panel. Now as the sparkle is sitting on top and not embedded into the the paste you will get some fall out. What I recommend is get a light fluffy brush and brush over the top gently to swipe away any excess. The embossing paste works pretty well however it is a tip I recommend to do to prevent you wearing the sparkles LOL.

For this card I have pressed my WOW! ultra slow drying ink pad through the stencil on white cardstock and have generously poured the Cranberry Sparkle over the top to heat set. For the sentiment I have die cut and heat set the first layer with Metallic Rich Gold. This gold in super fine is one of my go to powders. It is a staple in my stash and it has such a beautiful sheen and regal effect to the type of finish gold result.

This card I have done the same technique as card 1. The only thing differently I did is the sentiment where I created my own embossed glitter card stock. I heat embossed a whole panel by pressing my ink to my card stock and generously pouring the embossing glitter and heat setting it. I then die cut the sentiment out and adhere it down to the card front. This particular card design is the size of a standard slimline card.

Now as this is a blog hop don’t forget to comment along each of the design teams creations for a chance to win a $25 gift card to WOW! Embossing Powder AND Paper Roses online stores. As mentioned above your next hopper is ——>>>>> Tania Ridgwell. <<<<———-. The full line up is listed below. At any stage you get lost you can head over to the WOW!

Coffee Lovers Blog Link – https://tinyurl.com/yyoofztp

I have kept both my card designs quite clean and simple. For my first card I have heat embossed the reverse part of the Uniquely Creative Stitched 3 windows die cut outs. I have heat embossed the panels only with the Seth Apter Cosmic Trios “Blue Moon”. I had already had these panels die cut out where I had used the main piece on another project. Do you have left over die cuts that you keep hand? I like keeping mine for later use and it came in handy for today’s card.

I have stamped with the Altenew Friends Forever stampset where I have stamped the coffee cup with the Altenew Obsidian Ink on white cardstock. I also stamped the same image on pattern paper from Uniquely Creative and paper pierced on the coffee cup. For the heart I die cut with the Catherine Pooler heart stackables and heat embossed with Razzleberry embossing glitter from the brand NEW Summer Scoops Trios. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of white card stock and to finish the card off I have embellished with Catherine Pooler crater lake sequin.

For the second card I have heat embossed over some pattern paper from Uniquely Creative where I have masked off a triangle section with with masking tape and heat embossed with Metallic Gold embossing powder. I love creating my own background designs with the masking heat embossed technique. Can you image doing this with shapes ?!?!? I have kept the rest rather simple by stamping and lightly watercolour the coffee cup. I added some glitter and embellishments and we are done. For a full supply list used please see at the end of my post.

I would also love it if you left a comment and let me know if you have done any of the above techniques mentioned.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to visit my blog.

Happy Paper crafting

Happy World Card Making Day

Card Making Day reminds us that the best gifts come from the heart, and the hands and vision of the people we love, so get out there and try making a card of your own! Nowadays, with the advancements in technology and the rise of the Internet, some people have stopped sending cards altogether. Instead, they send email cards. While there is nothing wrong with this, no one can deny that receiving a beautiful card feels a lot nicer. This is especially the case when the other person has gone to the effort of making the card!

To make sure your personalised, handmade card is met with a beam of delight rather than a sigh of regret, here are some mistakes to avoid.

History of Card Making Day

Cards have played an important role in social circles for hundreds of years, playing a role as a thoughtful gift all the way to a necessary part of proper etiquette. Consider, if you will, the calling card of the Victorian era, a term that has become so ubiquitous that the signature element of a bomb-maker or a criminal is said to be their ‘calling card’.

A small piece of paper bearing one’s name and often a decoration of some kind, the calling card (Also known as a visiting card) was presented to the servants of a household that it might be delivered to the masters of the house to announce visitors.

It was this era of propriety that also developed the concept of a dance card, a card specifically carried by women to fill out with the names of the men they intended to dance with that evening. After all, with so many interested parties it just made sense to keep track of them so that you could, in earnest, indicate that your dance card was full and thus politely decline an interested suitor.

Calling Cards, Dance Cards, Business Cards, Greeting Cards, RSVP Cards, there are a million and more types of cards and could there be anything more exciting than learning to make your own? Card Making Day encourages you to do just that.

Emboss it all with WOW! Embossing Powder

Ok, so you all know me I love love love my heat embossing and most of all my Metallic Rich Gold embossing powder from WOW! Embossing Powder. Without a doubt my favourite type of embossing powders to use.

For the background I have covered a whole card panel with the Bang! embossing powder from the Confetti Trios set. I love this is has a combination of translucent red, ultra high particles in gold and white which gives it that Christmas feel don’t you think? Over the top of that panel I have die cut with the diagonal stripe cover die which I have adhere directly down on top.

I then heat embossed the trees and the die cut Merry Christmas sentiment with Metallic Rich gold embossing powder. The sentiment I adhere straight down however the trees I added an extra inked up layer with the new Cranberry Fizz to add a little contrast between the card front and die cuts. It didn’t make too much of a difference but I loved the layering anyways. I hope you liked todays card creation and look forward to reading your comments.

Happy Paper crafting hug

Catherine Pooler Jolly Holiday New Release

Who is excited to get their christmas creations happening? And what is even more exciting is playing with some fun, trendy and fabulous goodies. Catherine Pooler has certainly delivered and brings to you an array of new inks, stamps, dies, stencils, sequins, papers AND a slimline collection of dies and papers!!!

For today’s card I have made a fun shaker card with the new “Caroling Sentiments” stampset. I know it is not a traditional Christmas colour pallet however sometimes I like to go out of the norm and go with colours that I know the recipient would like.

Another detail I like to add is using a a tone on tone heat embossing effect. This time I used the White pearl embossing powder. This adds a subtle effect that is elegant, shimmery and fun all at once.

Shop here – http://shop.catherinepooler.com?aff=101 (affiliate link)

As something different I have made my own shaker panel with the nested oval dies. It is a fairly simple card but fun to make all the same. Check out my step by step youtube tutorial below.

To get the glittery shoe effect I added wanderlust embossing glitter which I heat set. I fussy cut the shoes out and adhere down on the ink blended panel.

Catherine Pooler New Release | One Plus One | His and Hers Stampset

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by and visiting me today. Today I am show-casing a couple of cards from the new Catherine Pooler “One Plus One” release. The stampset used is the brand new “His & Hers” Stampset along with the new Polka Dot cover plate background die.

The above card I created a panel where I heat embossed the sentiment with WOW! Embossing Powder Metallic Rich Gold Powder on white cardstock. I stamped both images in Rouge & Midnight Inks and to finish the panel off I matted it on black cardstock.

I kept the rest of the card rather simple adhering down a die cut polka dot piece on a side folding card base.

For the above card I created my own background by alternate stamping both glasses with Rouge and Aquatini Inks on white cardstock which I have mounted on a black mat panel.
I have stamped the sentiment with Midnight Ink on a square piece of white cardstock and matted on black cardstock. To finish the card off I added a heart shaped die cut from kraft.
Hope you enjoyed today’s card creation.

Papercrafters Unite Against Racism Blog Hop

Hi all, thank you for stopping by. I feel very honored to be very part of this very special hop. The goal of this hop is to come together to stand behind our crafty sisters and brothers of colour not just in the art industry, but also to show our support in the never-ending fight for equality all over the world.

All details of this hop and the line up of sponsors are up on Justine Hovey’s Blog .

As this is a hop don’t forget to visit your next hopper – Nandini Karmarkar.

For my first two card creations I bought digital stamps from Angie Bloom Digital Designs and Graciellie Designs to support small business that convey important messages with gorgeous designs. I felt both companies offered an array of images and sentiments that were fitting for today’s hop.

The first two cards I have incorporated an array of ink blended panels with Catherine Pooler inks and sprinkles of WOW! Embossing Powder Ultra High powders.

To see how have created these cards you can watch my tutorial up on my youtube channel.

The next card below has been inspired from my home country Australia where I reside. I first want to start of by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the lands on which I reside today and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

I have carefully chosen the stamps from Hero Arts as the images reminded of the indigenous illustrations from the local Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders people here in Australia. The tones are a reflection of the earth as the indigenous use the land of natural tones, colours and earth materials to make their colours with.

WOW! Embossing Powder Blog

Now onto my card creations. Today, I have made 3 cards using a variation of WOW! Embossing Powder products – Sparkles, Embossing Glitters and straight-up super fine powders.  I have used the same stampset from Gerda Steiner Designs – Carol Puppies Stampset and watercoloured them in with the Altenew paint pan pallet.

I first stamped the images using my MISTI with Versafine Onyx black ink which I then watercoloured the images in. I set aside to dry then I restamped the image over the top of the watercolour images to get a good crisp black image over the top.

For the first card I used Coconut Ice embossing glitter on the die-cut diagonal frame by pressing the clear ultra slow drying ink direct on the diecut. It is hard to capture the embossing glitter in a photo but it really makes for a fabulous die glitter cardstock panel. The sentiment has been heat embossed with Angel Eyes from the Ferryman Trios set.

Second card  I have heat embossed a scalloped circle die cut with Salsa embossing glitter. I have also roughly swiped  the pennant edge with ultra slow drying ink and poured neptune embossing glitter. 

For the last card I have used the Flamingo Sparkles and created my own paste with Texture Gloss paste. Using a plastic spatula I have mixed the sparkles and texture paste and spread it like butter over a poinsettia stencil. 

I hope you enjoyed today’s card creations for the hop.

Holiday Blog Hop with Catherine Pooler & WOW! Embossing Powder

I have to say I have been having a ball playing with the Catherine Pooler Holidays release.
Today I am playing with the Angel Wings die and Merry Christmas Angel stampset in my first card set.

Now becuase today is a hop you most likely have come from Catherine Pooler Desgns Blog your next hop is to the very talented Daniel West.
I have a full list of the line up towards the end of my blog post for you all just in case you get lost in the hop.

Did I mention there are PRIZES for this collaborative hop?
Both Catherine Pooler Designs & WOW! Embossing Powder are each giving away a $25 gift card to their stores just by you leaving a comment on each of the designers blog posts. Each comment gets an entry to the hop so comment away so us some crafty kindness as we are super excited to read your comments along the way.

For the Angel wings dies card I have done some really light ink blending with some distress oxide inks.
The card on the left I have used Black soot and Hickory Smoke oxide inks and the card on the right I have used Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar. The key to get a smooth inkblending I have used the make up blending brushes. To get the glittery wings I have used Iced Silver & Aladdin Embossing Glitter.

These trio of cards I have masked the labels dies with some purple tape and heat embossed in selected sections. I found doing this technique really show cases the new Catherine Pooler Bundle Up Trios embossing powder really well. There is such a fabulous array of sparkly texture .

The above card I have used the Sage Embossing Glitter & below I have used Peppermint Scrub from the Bundle Up Trios – Inspired by Catherine Pooler.

Lastly but not the least the above card I used the Skylight Embossing Glitter.
I hope you enjoyed today’s blog collaboration and please visit each of the Designers blogs.

Alpine Village Christmas Card

I love playing with Catherine Pooler inks and I especially love ink blending with them. All week I have been playing adding depth by shading with the Black Jack Ink to almost get another colour blend.

I have mixed a previous release christmas stampset “Making Spirits Bright” for the sentiment and dainty snowflake and have paired it with the new Alpine Village stampset.

I first ink blended on watercolour cardstock with the Sugared lavender Ink with a mini ink blending tool starting from the outside and working my way to the centre of the panel. I then work with the grape crush ink in the same manner working towards the centre and having a light ink blending touch as I work my way in. Now for the added depth I used the Black Jack Ink and working with a light ink blending touch towards the outter side of the panel only.

I have heat embossed the sentiment with Opaque Bright White embossing powder and heat set with my WOW! Embossing Powder heat tool.

I stamped the Alpine Villages with Sangria, Grape Crush and Sugared Lavender and die cut them out with coordinating dies which I then adhere down with either liquid adhesive or foam squares.

I added a light mist of pearlescent sheen with Shimmer craft sparkle spray. To finish it off I added some clear squins from the crater lake mix.

Pinecone Greetings

Hi all just in case you missed my most recent youtube tutorial I showcased an array of ink blended panels with Catherine Pooler Inks and added extra depth and shading with the Black Jack ink.

Today, I have played with the Pinecone Greeting stampset where I have used Icing on the Cake ink to stamp the pinecone images. For an added layer I have stamped with the Pinecones with the WOW! Embossing Powder Ultra Slow drying ink and heat embossed with Metallic Brass.

For the sentiment I heat embossed with Opaque Bright White. To finish the card off I used a team sparkly ribbon from my ribbon hoard vault. That’s right I have a hoard fault with ribbon and I struggle to part with it. LOL Does anyone else have one of those?

Hope you like my second card creation playing with the ink blended panels.

Catherine Pooler – Jolly Holiday Slimline card

Hi All, I have been absolutely been loving the new Jolly Holiday release and particularly how lovely the Jolly Trees stampset. This stampset has been so versatile and awesome for layering ink colours. For today I have done a quick and simple card of straight stamping with Eucalyptus and Green Tea ink. For the Christmas centre tree I have heat embossed with Metallic Rich Gold embossing powder and die cut out and placed on Cranberry Fizz ink panel and cut closely around to foam mount on.

I place and stamped the trees on the bottom of the slimline panel. Cut a panel of pattern paper and mount on a Cranberry Fizz ink blended panel. Die cut the new Merry Christmas word die three times. Press the top word die into the cranberry ink and adhere all down on the pattern paper strip.

Place the whole card panel on a navy slimline card panel.
