More Double Embossing

After yesterday's discovery I wanted another go at the double embossing technique. This time I've used the Elegant Bouquet Big Shot embossing folder and Tempting Turquoise card:

I can see me buying a lot of Versamark re-fill ink and black embossing powder as I really do like the effect it creates. It doesn't do any harm to the embossing folder either as the Versamark ink washes off easily. I've added a sentiment from Sweetheart and layered it up using circle and scallop circle punches.

Look at the lovely shiny card it creates. It's interesting to know that as you're heat embossing most of the card, it doesn't tend to curl at the edges or distort at all. I chose to layer this card as I didn't want to make a replica of yesterday's card.

My Baby Blossoms classes this weekend are now full. I do have places available in my all day class on Sunday 12 June and spaces in my charity stamping event on Saturday 4th June. Booking closes soon for both of these events so please conact me ASAP to book your place.

Feeling the lurve

I said I'd be back today to get you loved up and I wasn't kidding! I thought I'd should show you some valentines themed projects now so that you don't forget to order your supplies in time!

I really enjoyed making these, even though it was a bit tough resisting eating those jelly bellies! OK, first up is a Crumb Cake card decorated with patterned paper from the In Colour Designer Series level one hostess pack, isn't the large spot pattern gorgeous? I've used the large Heart Punch and Heart Treat Cup to make a sweetie gift card. I think this might be for hubby as ahem a little confession.......he was given a huge tub of jelly bellies for Christmas and I may have picked all the pink, red and white ones out!

Here's a close up of the fabulous heart treat cup filled with yummy goodness! Such a baragin at just £2.95 for a pack of 12.

Then a card made using the Sweetheart stamp set which co-ordinates with the Heart Punch and Treat Cups too!

I like to make use of my leftovers so I mounted the punched out heart from the card before on to some dimensionals for a bit of depth. The OXOX stamp is from Basic Phrases. Finally a treat pouch:

This time I've used a 6" square of paper from the Subtles DSP paper pack (12x12) and the heart is stamped from the I Heart Hearts set. I've cut this heart out by hand and stuck it on the pouch with dimensionals. The bag inside is a small treat bag tied off with a bit of Pretty in Pink Grosgrain ribbon.

Now I must thank Anne for the fabby award she has given me:

I need to tell you three things that make me different and then nominate another five bloggers to receive the award so......five things that make me different:

1. I absolutely have to sleep with my feet out of the bed even in winter. Hotels annoy me with their tightly tucked in sheets and I have a battle to free myself a gap to poke my feet out of!
2. I can't wear natural wool clothes - they make me itch and scratch like a monkey. Actually I can't stand the smell of wet wool either!
3. I adore bright pink and bribed hubby into letting me have a few items in said colour in our white kitchen. I'm still bribing him to this day and am slowly turning my kitchen pink!

I'll pass this award on to:

1. Tracy
2. Louise
3. Susie
4. Donna
5. Fluff

Off to put my feet up for a bit now, it's been a hectic day in the house of Jelly.
