Heat Felt Event – Heat Tool

Hi Stampers

The ‘Scented Emboss Powder’ was available to play with and by now you probably have as well. So these following projects were all about the scent which you won’t get through the screen here, lol, but I’m sure you get the idea.

These two were scented with the ‘Sugar and Spice’

These next two were scented with the ‘Peppermint Sticks’.

 

So the ‘Peppermint Sticks’ scented Emboss Powder has some quality issues right now and if you are unsatisfied with your purchase of the Peppermint Sticks Scented Embossing powder then please contact your demonstrator for a refund or to exchange it for a different scented Stampin’ Emboss powder.

Thanks for stopping by.

Heart Felt Event – Heat Tool

Hi Stampers

The Heat Tool is a tool that you just need to have as it offers you a whole world of techniques.

For this next project I used the  Bigz Snow Furry Die (127813) from the Seasonal Catalogue, I cut out 1 large Snow Flurry and 2 of the others using the On Board sheets (114320). I then covered with VersaMark (102283) and covered with Silver Emboss powder (109131)and heat set with the Heat Tool. There are 3 layers on each Snow flurry. I put together the layers using Dimensionals (104430) and for added colour I went with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and bakers twine.

On the end circles of the lager snow flurry I used Dazzling details (124117). At the last minute when everything was assembled I decided to emboss the Pearl (119247) in the centre with Cherry Cobbler Emboss Powder (122949) so I pressed the Pearl into the VersaMark and then dipped into the Cherry Cobbler emboss powder then heat set with the Heat Tool. I should really have removed the Pearl to emboss  but I didn’t and it shows on the final product.

 

You can change the colour of the Pearls by using any of the coloured Emboss Powders on page 159 of the Annual Catalogue

Heart Felt Event – Heat Tool

Hi Stampers

Next up we have the ‘Double Embossing’ technique. Start by dry embossing your cardstock and then, here, the raised image was brayered over with VersaMark (or you can use the VersaMark direct to raised image), sprinkled on Emboss powder of your choice, on this card it was Iridescent Ice, heat set with the Heat Tool and you are done. This card is from page 7 of the Holiday Catalogue, well my version of it made with the product that I had available.

and here is a slightly different version.

Heart Felt Event - Heat Tool

Hi Stampers

My next project is Heat Embossing on ‘Window sheets’. The tip here is to keep the Heat Tool moving so as the window sheet (114323) doesn’t get to hot and melt.

So I first stamped the image with Stazon (101406) and then used the Embossing Buddy(103083) before stamping over the Stazon image with versa mark ink(102283) and covered in Silver Emboss Powder (109131). After heating the powder I then cut the image out and hung it in the window of this card

 

Here is another version of the technique however I fixed this one to be a window card, here is the front

This view is when the card is opened up. The centre of the rosette was Clear Embossed (109130). The Designer Series paper is the ‘Be of Good cheer' (126896). Check out page 159 of the Annual Catalogue for more Heat Tool products to help you create the prefect project.

Stamp Club Challenge for December

Hi Stampers

This year we tried something a little different and made Secret Santa gifts, it was so secret that nobody knew who they were making their gift for. It worked out really well and here are the creations. I will show you the second nights projects next.

This was Wendy’s gift – Wendy was in the middle of shifting house and her DH packed away her stamping things – how dare he when he was to specifically told to leave it ……… perhaps he didn’t hear her. The thought was there and that is all that anyone could wish for.

A Christmas Gift

Hi Stampers

The local playgroup were running their annual Christmas raffle early this year. This is the gift I made and donated to the raffle.

So this little bag was made with the idea that a gift could be placed in here but it also doubled as the holder for the 10 coordinating Christmas cards and envelopes.

Five each of these cards were inside

This was very much appreciated and I really hope the winner enjoys them.

Thanks for stopping by. If there is anything that you have seen here and would like to know more then please email me for details at mbeach@xtra.co.nz

Kids Christmas projects

Hi Stampers

Finally for the Christmas catch-up, the boys made their own Christmas cards and I did both the boys classes with a Christmas project.

Cory’s last week of homework needed him to create a New Zealand inspired Christmas card. This was a very cute card that he created and very NZ. Surfing cause it is very much Summer at Christmas, trees for the clean green image and the jandles along the bottom as that’s so what we wear at this time of year, well anytime really.

 

Mason created this cute Christmas card, the colours are not what I would have used but each to there own.

 

So these next projects are the projects that we did at School. Starting with the 5 to 6 year olds.

These little packages had 2 mini Christmas cards or tags both using Stampin’ Up Dasher and a candy cane. The packaging was a medium Cello bag with real red cardstock and a top note die topper. The kids loved it and they got to use the Big Shot.

This project was for the 7 to 8 year olds, man what a handful. but we got there in the end. most of them did look like these ones.

 

This last card is the card that my 3yr old created. He did the stamping himself and he sure did know what he wanted. The star was cut out with a little help from his mum.

Okay, so that is the Christmas round up. Hope you enjoyed even though we have passed the festive season. Hope your New years is going to plan. My you be stamping well.
