Creating a Tribal Pattern Using Heat Embossing

By Cards

Tribal-Card

Hi everyone!

I’m back with an all new card and video to share with you today. This card is very simple but packs quite a punch with the amount of gold and shimmer it has. I used some stamp making paper and a ruler to create some triangle shapes and cut them out to create this pattern on the background. I then used one of my favorite embossing powders (Ranger Liquid Platinum), and heat embossed the entire panel. What gorgeous results?! To finish the card I used this elegant card from project life.

Here’s how it all came together.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Bazzil Basics

Embossing Powder: Ranger Liquid Platinum

Masking: Inkadinkado Stamp Masking Paper

Kit to Cards featuring Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit

Hi all,

For this project, I wanted to challenge myself into using a good portion of a card kit to see just how many cards I could make. I have been a long time subscriber to the Simon Says Stamp card kit and love the quality of products they include in those kits. I wanted to dive into this month’s kit and create some cards to share with you. As I state in the video, there are a TON of supplies left over and this is just a few of the cards I created. Working with a kit is great in that you really don’t have to worry about coordinating colors and patterns — that part is already done for you!

You may wonder how long it took me to create these cards? I created these over the course of 3 days and had about 6 hours of footage to work through. A majority of that time was spent brainstorming, and clearly, I have edited that down to a shorter video for you!

Here’s a look at 10 cards I made. Enjoy!

Organization Tip on Floss Storage

Hi All,

I’ve been working away at reorganizing my craft room and destashing some items. Things are looking pretty awesome but along the way I found that I needed to get a little resourceful on the way I was organizing some items. When it comes to ribbon, threads or yarns in a craftroom it is so easy for me to have a big ‘ol tangled mess of fibers. To clean up this area in my craftroom I grabbed just 2 simple supplies and it is by far one of my favorite storage solutions now!

Here’s what I used:
Clear rubber bands
Traditional wooden clothes pin
Clear Jar

Here’s a quick look at how quickly this storage solution comes together.

Mother’s Day Postage Stamp Greeting Card

Hi all,

I’m back with an all new mother’s day card to share. For this card, I wanted to create a postage stamp as the main focal point of the card. At first I thought I wondered how I could find a postage stamp large enough to feature, then I realized how simple it could be to create one in silhouette studio.

To break things down think of the postage stamp as a rectangle and the edge is created by welding in a row of circles. I added in some various sizes of words for the sentiment and a beautiful die-cut of roses.

Here’s a closeup of those roses – look at all that sparkle!
