Warm Wishes and Christmas Blessings

This is the first time I inked up these stamps. I'm a little embarrassed it took me this long. I love how they turned out.

I used my copic markers to color the image.

I added a product to this card that gives the appearance of snow. It comes in a tube and dispenses in a liquid form but when heat is applied the magic happens.

This photo gives you a better idea of what the "snow" looks like.

Here is a different angle to see how the "snow" brings interest and dimension to the card. 

These two designs can be found at The Market at 76067 in historic downtown Mineral Wells or contact me lightinmypathway@gmail.com.

Start to Finish "Joy" Card

Embossing is one of my favorite card making techniques. There are two types of embossing. "Dry"embossing and "wet" embossing. "Dry" embossing is imprinting a design in something. "Wet" embossing uses powder and heat creating a raised affect.

This blog will feature "wet" embossing technique.

I prepare the paper for embossing by using a "Embossing Buddy" a little pouch with powder that removes any static keeping the embossing powder only on the places ink is applied. 

Next  I place the stamp on the paper where I want it. This little device that the paper and stamp is on is a must have in my opinion if you do a lot of stamping. I will close the clear lid on the left and the stamp will stick. (The silver bar with blue tape is a magnet. The base is magnetic and this helps hold the paper in place for stamping a perfect image.

Next I apply VersaMark ink which is a translucent sticky ink that will allow the embossing powder to adhere to the image.

If you look closely you can see the image and sentiment.

The gray tray is for catching the powder so I can put any loose back in the container.

I am using gold embossing powder for this card.

I pour the embossing powder over the stamped image and shake the paper to cover all the areas with ink.

I am ready to apply heat. That is where the magic is!

Now to apply the embossed card front to the gold background paper using adhesive.

Finished card with matching envelope.

Happy Birthday

 

As you will see in a moment,  I couldn't get enough of using this new metal diecut from Kokorosa studio.

This is a great way to use up scrap pieces of paper and create great backgrounds for any card occasion.

I love the big "Happy Birthday" sentiment.

Both of these cards can be found at The Market at 76067 in historic downtown Mineral Wells.

Joy Girl

I made this card for a dear friend. The image is a rubber stamp created by artist Angie Blom and sold by Unity Stamp Company.

The background was created with a metal diecut made by Kokorosa Studio using different papers.

I decided to create a few more cards and make available for sale.

These cards are in The Market at 76067 in historic downtown Mineral Wells.

Eve Girl

This card was an inspiration from a card made for a daughter of friends birthday. This image is a rubber stamp called "Eve Girl" created by artist Angie Blom and sold by Unity Stamp Company. I colored the image with Copic markers. It's hard to tell in the photo but the snowflakes I used glitter glue.

This image reminded me of a  photo her dad had taken of her five years ago during our community's Christmas festival called "Merry Wells". 

Cards made with "Eve Girl" can be found at The Market at 76067 in historic downtown Mineral Wells.

Birthday Cards

This card was fun to create. It may surprise you that I used four stamp sets to make it!

It was actually inspired by a card I made for a custom order.

















I had several friends have milestone birthdays this year and that inspired me to create the next two cards for customers who have family or friends with milestone birthdays. In order to make the card more flexible I added 3 other options to easily change which milestone birthday needed. Each has adhesive with protective covering. Simply remove the covering and place on the card.

This card can be made in any color.

The next 3 cards were created right at the close of Father's Day. Two sentiments were created to make these cards more versatile. These sentiments like the milestone birthday cards have adhesive with protective covering on the back. Simply peel off the protective covering and place on the inside of the card.
