You Melt My Heart snowflake card made using the Christmas Wish Imagine cartridge and the Art Philosophy cartridge.

Hello, friends!

Today is the last day to get the Holiday Wishes stamp set and the November stamp of the month. If you are interested, make sure you order it today before it is gone forever and at $5 each it won't break the bank! See the end of this post for details. 

I have a card  today that is made using the Imagine and my Expression. I printed the pattern papers using the Christmas Wish Imagine cartridge. This cartridge has some BEAUTIFUL papers and I love that I can print as many as I want. The snowflakes were cut out using the Art Philosophy cartridge and I stamped on them using the Snowflakes cartridge again. I just cannot resist a beautiful snowflake.

The heat embossing technique was used on this card similarly to yesterday's. I noticed a question in yesterday's comments about embossing without all of the little bits that stick to the paper out of place. I gently rub the oaoer with a dryer sheet before I stamp it with the Versamark. I am not sure why it works, but it does!

This is the stamp set I used. It is called Snowflakes and it coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge.

The ribbon is Papertrey Ink. The pearls, ink, and cardstock are from Close To My Heart.
I cut the snowflake out at 1 3/4" with white cardstock. Then I stamped on the snowflake with the first stamp using ocean ink. Then I stamped the second stamp on top using versamark ink, sprinkled the white embossing powder on it, and heated t using the heat tool. The edges were then inked using a chalk ink.
Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure you pop in tomorrow to check for more inspiration!

Snowflake Winter Wonderland card using Art Philosophy

Hello, friends!

I was cleaning out a drawer in my crafting room today and I found all my embossing powders. I cannot tell you the last time I used that technique, so I felt it was time to dust it off and use it. For today's card, I used that technique in tandem with my beloved Cricut. LOVE IT!

The stamp set that I used today in tandem with the Art Philosophy cartridge is call Snowflakes. I coordinates with cartridge and the pretty snowflakes stamp later beautifully as you will see below.

This is the stamp set I used. It is called Snowflakes.
I used Papertrey Ink paper and ribbon.
I cut the cream colored snowflake out at 3 1/4" using the Art Philosophy cartridge. Then stamped it using the olive green ink. I stamped the next layer using Versamark ink. Next I sprinkled embossing powder on top and heated it using my embossing heating tool. One of the best tips on successful embossing is use a quality embossing powder. It makes all the difference!
I cut this oval out using the Art Philosophy cartridge at 1".
See you all back here tomorrow!

One more thing, you only have 2 more days to get your hands on the November stamp of the month AND the Holiday Wishes stamp set. Make sure you check it out below because you are not going to want to miss out!
