Hi everyone! It’s been 10 days since I posted! eek! Wow, time flies!!! Just for fun I’m showing you the second stack of cards I sent off to PrintWorks the first of November… it reassures me that I can stamp and create! lol These cards are on sample boards in retail stamp and scrapbook stores.
It’s been ten days of setting up Tilda’s Town Design Team and spending time with family. yea! Love all the grand kiddos!
Here’s a close up of the reindeer card… the photo below is from the first set I made… regular gold embossing powder comes out bumpy… the second set, the photo above, I used the super fine gold embossing powder and the deer heated up smooth! Both are pretty, but I decided I am partial to how the super fine turns out! The sentiment embossed up really nice with the super fine also! I used to heat emboss everything but for the last decade I’ve only used embossing powder on rare occasions. It was fun to use it again and see the ‘magic’! : )
I wish I’d taken a picture of the inside… ugh… I forgot… I used one of PrintWorks Collection’s many sentiments for Christmas… F3157 Wonder of the Season…so many beautiful messages to choose from!
So thankful for you, my friends out there all over the world! Who’d a thunk we’d all be sharing via blogs… I love it! Thank you so much for stopping by and I’ll be talking to you again soon!!!!
P.S. have you been shopping? of course I would bring that up! I’m an addict! lol I just ordered the NEW Make it Merry Collection from October Afternoon!!!! I LOVE it! You’ll find it HERE at Blue Moon and HERE at Two Peas! Awesome! pp.ss. candy cane stripe washi tape with to: and from: on it!!!
