My card today features the Joy of Noel bundle and some colouring with Stampin’ Blends.

The accent colour in this design is Wild Wheat, which I am using as a substitute for gold. It looks great against the Shaded Spruce card base.

The Noel sentiment is popped up on some mini dimensionals and I have added some sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

This version uses a Real Red card base. I had originally stamped the panel for the bottom of the card with black ink, but I prefer the softer look using Crumb Cake. Thinking about it now, I probably could have used Wild Wheat too.

Tone on Tone Metallic Heat Embossing!

Hello Everyone,

It’s been a while since I did any heat embossing. This idea came about as I have been using a lot of Wild Wheat cardstock as a substitute for gold, so I extended that to copper and silver…

I have used Medley Mix and the coordinating Inked and Tiled punches to create the background panel.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial

Here is the original card with Wild Wheat and gold heat embossing.

And finally, I also used copper embossing powder on Copper Clay cardstock.

This isn’t a theme that sits my usual comfort zone so I turned to the Stampin’ Up! catalogue for some inspiration.

I’ve used Very Vanilla and Copper Clay to make my card.

A blending brush was used to add colour to highlight the edges of the die cuts and texture from the embossing folder.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The design also works with the other die in the set.

One Sheet Wonder with the Textured Floral Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t done a one sheet wonder for a while so here we go with the Textured Floral Stamp Set!

You can see how I made these cards in my video tutorial…

The Lasting Label punch was perfect for the sentiment….

The combo is really punchy on the Lemon Lime Twist card base…

I was pleased with the finished cards. I wasn’t so sure it was going to work out at the halfway point….

My original sample cards used the purples and cool pinks….

This time I used Soft Sea Foam and Bubble Bath for the card bases…

I think this set is my favourite!
