Cool Black Magic technique with a free project sheet and video tutorial!

Oh my gosh, this Black Magic technique is super neat!  Look at these colorful cards!

Save

What's the Black Magic technique?  It's where you heat emboss on Black card stock with White embossing powder and color onto the embossing with Blends markers.  So easy and a great way to add color to your embossed image. The Layered Thoughts stamp set is perfect for this fun technique. See it here.

I also used the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper seen here and the coordinating Cheers & Sips stamp set for the inside images.

• Pretty Friends for Life card with video tutorial & free project sheet

  June 18, 2024

  ---

  Here's the 2nd card I made during last week's video with the Friends for Life bundle. 

  Save

  My colors include Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and White. I've always loved pink & orange together for some reason. The white circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. They are in low inventory right now.

  Isn't this Full of Life designer paper stunning?! 

  Save

  The pretty designer paper can be seen here. 

  There are two 'friend' die-cuts. One layers over the other.  I cut the larger layer from the designer paper – it's an ombre effect.

• Friends for Life card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  June 17, 2024

  On last week's video I shared two cards featuring the neat Friends for Life bundle and the Full of Life designer paper.  Here's the first card: 

  Save

  I love the bright colors here! The colors are inspired by the Full of Life DSP – Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue & Daffodil Delight. There is a layer of Shaded Spruce under the White layer to show off the heart die-cut. 

  This neat bundle is on sale in June; discounted by almost 20%. See the Friends for Life bundle here. 

  Save

  Notice the heart die-cut from the front layer? I saved it and added it inside the card. 

  Save

  I stamped the hearts on another part of the DSP and used the coordinating die to cut them out. The 'wishes' greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

  I kept the layout quite simple because the DSP, die-cuts and stamping are the star here. I die-cut the heart from the White layer before I stamped for ease of time during the video. I stamped the 'BEST' greeting first and then added the vertical highlight image in different colors, stamping off first for a lighter hue. I love the effect!

• Hello Hollyhocks kit – pretty AND easy!

  June 14, 2024

  I spent a few relaxing minutes putting together these pretty cards last weekend. It's the Hello Hollyhock kit from our Kit Collection. 

  Save

  They turned out beautifully! You can see this Hello Hollyhocks kit here.  It's a non-stamping kit that's all inclusive and would make a great gift or perfect for a relaxing crafting experience.

  My cat Jazz loves to hang out with me while I stamp.

  She wasn't much help but she did settle into the kit box somehow but was quite a tight fit!
