Heat embossing using stencils - part 2

Hey there crafty friends!

Here's another card I made using heat embossing 

along with a stencil:

So much shine!

Here's the finished inside:

This is such a fun way to use your stencils in a different way. 

(at least it was for me.) 

Another relatively CAS card for me. But I really like how this one looks.

That's it for tonight. Gonna relax and read for a bit now.

Have a great evening and thanks for visiting!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #347 - No Ink

Hello and welcome!

Today starts a new challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

This week, we challenge you to create something

without using any ink!

I used nothing but die cuts for my card:

I used scraps of DP from a collection that's at least 3 years old.

My sentiment is cut using my Slice die cutter.

The bunny die cuts are admittedly new, but I actually

used them instead of putting them away and forgetting that I have them.

Bonus!

So, now it's your turn to create something without any ink on it. We'd

love to see it, so please link up at Shopping Our Stash

so we can admire it! If you need more ideas, simply visit the blogs

of my teammies to see their ingenious creations without ink!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #325 - The Walking Dead

Hiya crafty peeps!

This week at

SHOPPING OUR STASH,

we challenge you to embrace your inner zombie!

That's right, we want to see your zombie creations.

Here's what I came up with:

 

and the inside:

My image is colored with SN markers, then I masked my zombie and bat balloon to stencil over the background in orange ink. I smudged black paint around the edges. The card base was stenciled in orange ink then I added the BOO alpha stickers. I added Glossy Accents to the zombie and bat eyes.

This guy is too cute to spook, wouldn't ya say?

Now it's your turn! Let's see those zombies! Just link up at Shopping Our Stash 

so we can admire your work! Need more inspiration? Then do check out what

my teammies came up with. You will be blown away!

Trick or Treat (or whatever)

Hello crafty friends!

Boy, it's been almost a month since I've blogged! Hubs and I went on vacation from August 19th

through September 3rd, driving back to Illinois and Wisconsin to visit with

both our families. In there was a 50th Wedding Anniversary party, my 

niece got married, and my great niece and nephew (twins) had a party to 

celebrate their 5th birthday. Lots to do!

Most of my posts from August until the beginning of September were scheduled.

This is a rare post: it will go live as soon as I hit the publish button - not scheduled!

While on vacation, I was able to get a little coloring in.

(I can't leave on vacation without SOME type of craft supplies, so I took

my pencils and markers along with a bunch of images to color)

Since it's getting on to my favorite holiday - Halloween, I took

along some Grumplings in Costume stamps. Here's one of

the images made into a card:

 and the inside:

This grumpy cat-o-lantern was colored with PrismaColor pencils on kraft card stock.

I used a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen to re-draw the outline, since

the pencils tend to make them fade.

You know what I realized? I don't have a Halloween

themed embossing folder. Not one.

I need to fix that.

And I will. (wink)

It was great to get back to my craft room again. So I'll

be making more cards soon.

But not sure when.

Hubby and I just started binge watching Game of Thrones so....

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fantastic day!
