Make it Monday: Embossing

This week's MIM challenge was to use heat embossing. I decided to make a "Tim Holtz" inspired distressed tag, heat embossing the sentiment on last. I used BB:Text Style for the background and stamped a few floral images from Flower Garden (one of my fav's).

Make it Monday: Distressing Edges

This week's challenge was brought to us by the uber-talented Lisa Johnson...she reminded us of an often overlooked technique, distressing edges of paper with something as simple as a pair of scissors. I decided that instead of a traditional card, I made a little distressed gift holder which perfectly fits a bar of my homemade oatmeal soap.

Make It Mondays Challenge #4-Creating with Fun Foam

This week's MIM challenge was to use craft foam in a project. I decided to die cut out a bunch of buttons, which I then stamped with different PTI background stamps and image stamps like the flower bunch from Asian Fusion. I also used Owl Bellies, which worked PERFECTLY for the smaller buttons! The possibilities are endless!

Make it Mondays Challenge #2

This weeks challenge was to use vellum in a sentiment strip (here). I needed to make invitations for the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon at my daughter's school and decided to incorporate this week's challenge. I started by making the background paper using YOF:Violets, which I stamped in chocolate ink and then highlighted the centers of the flowers with a little yellow Stickles. I printed out the invitation on my printer, cut them out, scored them and attached them to the card base. I also made little felt rose pins for each teacher which I pinned to each invitation. Easy peasy! I hope they like it!
