October Stamp Group Project - Fall Colors Card/Embossed Metal

There are lots of different steps to this project so instead of typing them all out I'm going to highlight the newest technique - Embossed metal... With your Versamark Pad stamp on white (any color really) cardstock. Then emboss with gold metallic powder. Repeat. 4 times total. Then, warm the melted powder. Press your stamp on Versamark then on the metallic paper. Hold there for a few seconds then remove. Your stamped impression should look like embossed metal. warm the melted powder then repeat as many times as you want. If you want more detailed instructions on the whole card, etc. let me know and I'll email them to you. Smooches, Enjoy!

2008 World Card Making Day Contest

I've had a little bit of time to get into the craft room within the last few weeks. I made some cards for entry into the World Card Making Day Contest for Paper Crafts Magazine. I'm super excited about my entries. One of my goals is to be a published artist so, I'm hoping that this is where it begins. How amazing to open one of my favorite magazines and see my creations! I can't wait! The first card is my Mom's Birthday card made in her new favorite colors with a Sassy "Spoil Me" girl from my latest goodies from http://www.artchixstudio.com/ (Love their vintage art!) The next 3 cards are my entries. I tried to use various techniques but, I have a few favorites that I use often. I'm an edge rougher. I love the texture and dimension it gives. I used a few different punches on the cards. My new favorite addition to my cards and projects though is crepe paper. I'm having so much fun folding, attaching, fanning, etc. with it. Try it on your next foo fee card. My Stampin' Up! Group meets this week so, I should have some fun pics to post from that. Smooches!
