Say it With...Embossing

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well and had a fab week and looking forward to the weekend, WooHoo lol!

Today is Friday and that means it's time for another fun Challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog and this weeks fun theme is 'say It With...Embossing'
I Love embossing, dry embossing, heat embossing, just LOVE it lol!

So here's my card

Here's The Yummy Goodies I Used On My Card
~Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla Card Stock
~Unknown Pattern Paper
~'Sentimental Bluebells' Stamp Set By AnnaBelle Stamps
~Opaque Vanilla Embossing Powder
~Tan Satin Ribbon
~Small Mix Cream Pearls
~Spellbinders Dies
~3D Mounting Tape
~Paper Piercer
~Apron Lace Border Punch

I wanted to do both dry and heat embossing on my card but it wasn't working for me. Like usual I left my card to the last minute and was pressed for time so I just stuck to heat embossing.
Now here's a Kylie tip lol, when you have finished with your heat gun do NOT place your hot heat gun onto a piece of acetate, trust me, the way I'm going with my crafting, I'm going to burn the house down, I'm so clueless roflol!
While I'm confessing my crafting sins, don't leave a pair of scissors around where your 5 year old can get to them to give a cat a hair cut or should I say a fur cut lol, my poor old cat cops a lot, getting glimmer misted, glittered and now his fur cut lol.
I hide my scissors as my craft desk is in the lounge so Connor must take notice where I keep them so I'll have to find another spot lol!

Do you want to play along with us this week? I do hope you will, just made your creation using embossing on your project and link your project from your blog or on-line gallery at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog so we can check out your creations, we love seeing what you make!

Our sketch challenge #26 is still going on for your chance to win a stamp Set from AnnaBelle Stamps, you can check out the sketch and all the details HERE!

Hi Guys,
I hope your all doing well and that you enjoyed your week!

Well it's Friday and that means it's time for another Say It In... challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog.
This week's 'Say It In' challenge is the AWESOME colour combo of Pink and Brown...LOVE IT lol!

So here's my creation for this week





I found THIS tutorial on Splitcoaststampers, it's a little 3 X 3 card tote but I put in some yummy Maltesers in a cello bag and tied with some ribbon instead lol!

My tote is made from Chocolate Chip and Close To Coca card stock from SU! I cut out my Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip and White squares using my nestabilities.
I stamped my sentiment 'Just Because' from the AnnaBelle Stamps, 'Flowers With Love' Stamp Set in Chocolate Chip ink and I decorated the front of my tote with my Pink Petals Kit also from AnnaBelle Stamps and placed some pretty gems that come with the kit in the center of my flowers.
I finished of my project by placing my yummy Maltesers in my cello bag and tieing some Pearl Pink with Hot Pink Dots Ribbon into a bow that also comes in the Petals Kit and placed that into my tote and presto you have a cute little gift!

So that's my project for this week's 'Say It In...Pink and Brown' I hope you can join in on the fun and make a creation using this AWESOME colour combo.

Say It With...Flowers

Hi Guys,
I hope everything is going wonderful for you all!

I'm just popping in to post my card for this week's challenge over at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog and the theme for this week is 'Say It With...Flowers' and I used some yummy new products that have been newly released this week at AnnaBelle Stamps.

So here's my card, Can you guess the new products lol!



So have you guessed, do you need a little more time, do you give up? O.K. I'll tell you, I'm so excited about these new products, love, love, LOVE them all, can't you tell I'm excited roflol! I'm just bursting with excitement lol!

The pretty flowers that you see are from AnnaBelle Stamps, they come in packs of various sizes and in three colours.
If you guess ribbons, then your right lol, AnnaBelle Stamps now stock Ribbons, in the most beautiful colours that match the Petals and Sprinkles. The ribbons come in different patterns and plain colours that are wrapped on handy storage cards, the ribbons are so stunning!
There's one more new product on my card, can you see it?, do you know what it is? If your saying the Gems in the centre of my flowers and the ones under my sentiment, then your absolutely right lol!

On my card I have used the Pink Petal Kit that includes 1 Petals Pack in two shades of Pink and White in various sizes, 1 meter of three different ribbons, 1 Jar of Gem mix of different sizes and colours that coordinate. These Gem and Pearl mix are sooooooooooooooo pretty!

Here's a pic of the Pink Petals Kit I used on my card



For the sparkle on my flowers I have used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl and Marshmallow.
My sentiment reads 'Birthday Wishes' and is from another favourite AnnaBelle Stamps, stamp set 'Flowers With Love' and I have stamped this onto my White Circle which has been layered onto a pink larger circle in Black ink.
I then popped my sentiment circle onto my larger White and Pink scallop circle with 3D foam then placed this onto my White card base.

The Petal Kits come in three different colours with the ribbons and the jar of Gem and Pearl mix. Whats more exciting is Andrea, Owner of AnnaBelle Stamps is now stocking COPIC, how AWESOME is that lol!

So that's my card for this week's 'Say It With..' and my exciting news lol! Check out the other AnnaBelle Stamps Design Team Members cards, they will knock your socks off lol!
