Heat Embossing Tips-Easter Card

3/4/2016

Hi everybody! I'm sharing heat embossing tips and techniques up on the CardMaker Blog where I created a sample board to show you how to keep it all straight. Because with so many different inks and embossing powders it can be overwhelming. So hopefully I cleared up some of the confusion.
Easter is Sunday, March 27th and I wanted to get a jump on making some cards. On this Easter card I used two different heat embossed techniques. Can you tell which ones?
See a sample board I created that breaks it down for you up on the
CardMaker Blog. And get a complete supply list to make this Easter card. Thanks for stopping by today!

Valentines Birthday Card

2/1/2016

Love is in the air...but first I needed to make a February Birthday card for somebody special. And having three sons and one daughter, I rarely get
to make anything girly. So, when I do, I go all out. I wanted it pink and pretty. And I LOVE to mix and match pattern papers.

Winter Time Layout or Home Decor

1/9/2016

2 Comments

It's winter time and once again our whole town is blanketed in fresh new snow. And my three sons are hoping for a snow day, so we can sleep in and then go sledding! I won't lie, I am too! lol. Anyhoo...before I go sledding, let me share my newest project. I've been wanting to create a home decor piece for a while now. So, over our holiday break I finally sat down and created this 12x12" piece that I could either scrapbook, put on a canvas, or frame it.

I started with these two gorgeous stamps from Eat Cake Graphics. Go check out their whole collection.They are all beautifully detailed. I stamped the house on white cardstock first, as to center it, then stamped the lake shoreline stamp twice on each side of the house to create the scene. Sprinkled it in metallic gold embossing powder, and heat set, to make it warm and inviting.

I used glossy accents to create 3D glass windows. Click the smaller pictures above for more detailed instructions. Once dry, I colored the windows with Copic markers to create warmth. Added some icicle glitter glue and shaved ice to really make it snowy all over. Tore the bottom edge, border punched the top with more snowflakes, adhered to blue snowflake paper, and then adhered the whole piece to this lighter 12x12 snowflake paper. Cut out a matching tag and adhere with a border at the bottom of the page. All the papers are from the same kit, which is great, because they all coordinate, and have coordinating stickers and tags too. I love kits!

I added stickers for the title, the large white snowflake border, and wintery words on the bottom. Adhered a few navy metal shimmery snowflakes. And scattered some adhesive rhinestones all over to make it sparkle some more. I hope I've inspired you to use your craft supplies in a different way. Enjoy the snow...we will! ~Kim

Supplies:
Eat Cake Graphics Stamps: 6040-Q, 52 Winters Lane (house) and 7068-P, Lake shoreline; Echo Park Wintertime paper kit & stickers; Fiskars Snowflake border punch or edger; Ranger Stickles icicle glitter glue and green xmas stickles on wreath; Shaved ice; Copic markers; Glossy accents; Glue painters tape; Creative Impressions blue metal snowflakes; Adhesive rhinestones; Versamark clear watermark ink; Ranger super fine detail metallic gold embossing powder; and a Heat gun.

Santa Stops Here-Holiday Card

12/23/2015

6 Comments

Santa Claus is coming to town! I found some time to fit in a few more cards to share with you all. I came across this pattern paper that had a lot of my favorite holiday prints in rows all on one sheet. And thought this is perfect for a holiday card. The sheet music reminds me of all the holiday songs we sing this time of year. The argyle print reminds me of holiday sweaters, and the candy cane stripes. And this detailed Santa and his eight reindeer is a wonderfully detailed stamp from Eat Cake Graphics. Go check out their whimsically detailed stamps. They are just precious...

Abagail is an adorable stamp from Eat Cake Graphics. When I saw her I knew I wanted to use her for a Mother’s Day card. What little kid doesn’t remember baking or cooking something for their moms? And this cute stamp can be used for many occasions...

My mother-in-law's birthday is on Oct 31st and she loves all things Halloween. This year's card I wanted to incorporate a patch work type pumpkin I've been seeing all over social media.

Holiday Treat Box

10/25/2014

1 Comment

A treat box for any occasion, right at your fingertips, even your kids will be excited to help too! Punch out nine circles with a 3" scallop circle punch and fold each circle in half. Take two circles, match them up, glue dot each side ( I used about 3 glue dots on each side), and repeat until you have a complete circle. You could use staples or eyelets and thread ribbon to hold the circles together too. Take your last circle, which will be the bottom circle, and hot glue your attached circles around the bottom edges and place on the bottom circle for stability. Hold in place until it cools and add "thanks" stickers. I added a sandwich baggie full of treats, tied a metallic ribbon around it, and added a gift card for one of my kids teachers. And there you have a fast, little project for Halloween treats, thank you gifts, holiday gifts, and so much more!
Supplies:
Echo Park "The Apothecary Emporium" printed paper
Graphic 45 "Olde Curiosity Shoppe" Alphabet Sticker sheet
3" scallop circle punch by Marvy Uchida
Glue dots small
Hot Glue Gun

Valentines Day is just around the corner...here are just a few Valentines Collections I found that I really like. I do make Valentines Day cards for my husband and kids every year along with a little treat. Sometimes, if I have time, I make cards for my parents, sisters, and kids at school too. I just love the pink, red, and black and all the hearts.
