My last post was a week ago – oops!

The school holidays started a week ago and Rob has these two weeks at home. So, it was a perfect opportunity to order a second bookcase from Ikea and have him help me collect it, although I assembled it.

It was fun spending time rearranging my crafting supplies and need to get three more storage bins to finish.

I made a couple of cards over the weekend, so this morning I photographed the projects ready to post today and schedule another post for tomorrow.

It’s certainly a bit messy but this is my set up when I take photos. I use two tall table number stands and a length of textured wallpaper to create an endless background. There are two lights on adjustable stands – and, as you can see, a floor that needs to be vacuumed.

For the first one I decided to use the TASTEFUL TOUCHES BUNDLE.

I began by stamping the feather image onto the card front using Versamark and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder before using the heat tool. This gives it a glossy version same colour as the card stock – Soft Sea Foam.

The three Very Vanilla panels began as a 3.75″ square that I stamped using Versamark and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder again. When finished, I cut the piece into equal thirds.

I repeated the process using a 4″ x 2.25″ piece of card and die cut it with one of the TASTEFUL LABELS DIES. Then I stamped the feather over the heat embossed images.

As you can see, I have used the same die to cut the label that has the sentiment and feather stamped on it. I trimmed the right hand side to align with the edge of the card.

The flower was fussy cut and CLEAR WINK OF STELLA added. The final touch was to add a few embellishments.

This is a such a lovely card to send to someone to reach out and reconnect.

Who would you send it to?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

Some of the paper, in the IN GOOD TASTE DSP pack, looks like embossing paste spread roughly over a coloured background. One is a Rococo Rose shade and the other Night of Navy.

For this card I chose the Rococo Rose.

Using some Rococo Rose ink refill , I coloured some WHITE EMBOSSING PASTE and applied it to a piece of card stock using a BASIC PATTERN DECORATIVE MASK.

It’s fun to try something different! When was the last time you played with embossing paste on a project?
