Technique Tuesday: Week 2

Hi Everyone,

Have just realised that I missed my "Technique Tuesday" on the 12th June.

I had 2 x 10 hour night shifts and I honestly overlooked it.

Anyway, better late than never.

This week: "Embossing".

You will need:

• Anti-static pillow
• Stamp of choice
• Watermark Ink or Perfect Medium Ink
• Embossing Powder
• Cardstock
• Heat Gun

Technique:

• Using the anti-static pillow, wipe across the cardstock.
• Using your preferred ink, stamp your image on to your cardstock.
• While ink is still wet, sprinkle embossing powder over stamped image.
• Dry stamped image with the heat gun.

This card uses another idea for embossing. Instead of stamping an image with Watermark Ink or Perfect Medium, simply apply double-sided tape to your desired area and sprinkle with embossing powder. Heat set using the heat gun.

Yours in cardmaking,

Fiona.

SCRAPBOOKING LAYOUTS COMPLETED

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would share a couple of layouts that I have completed. I am happy with the finished results.

This layout is of my eldest son, Brian, at the St John Ambulance Camp held at Lake Burrendong.

This layout is of my daughter, Alice, at the St John Ambulance camp held at Lake Burrendong.

These layouts are great to use up scrap pieces of cardstock and patterned paper. The workshop was designed by Kellie Lopaz and Michelle Dawson.

Yours in scrapbooking,

Fiona.

HAPPY LONG WEEKEND TO EVERYONE

Hi Everyone,

Happy Long Weekend to you all. Hope you have enjoyed the extra day off.

I have organised the magnets for the car doors and printed loyalty cards. I just have to wait till they arrive. I can't wait to start sharing that new Kaszazz catalogue with everyone. The new papers are just divine and I must create a project with them very soon.

I am taking part in a cyper crop on the 23rd June. Instructions are posted every 15 minutes and by the end of 2 hours, I will have completed page 1 of a 2 page layout. This sounded very exciting and so I jumped at the chance to join it. I will share photos when the cyper crop has been completed.

Till tomorrow,

Fiona.

JULIE STORTI'S CARD

Hi Everyone,

Julie has allowed me to post a picture of her gorgeous masking tape card. Thanks for letting me share.

I love the simplicity of this card and plan to make it over the next week or so. I have an early shift tomorrow so must go to bed and get some sleep.

Till tomorrow,

Fiona.

NEW MASKING TAPE IN THE KASZAZZ RANGE

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would share a photo of the masking tape that Kaszazz now have in their range. It is great for scrapbookers and cardmakers alike. It is very easy to make up a quick card using the tape as the background embellishment. I have seen a card made by Julie Storti, a Kaszazz consultant but will ask her permission before I post a picture of the card on here. It is a gorgeous card.

Below is an example of a card using one of the new masking tapes as well as one of our lastest stamps.

Hope you enjoyed todays post,

Fiona.

UPDATE

Hi Everyone,

Well, I didn't get the card with the distress markers started or finished today. I had to go into work on my day off. Oh well, the bank balance will be looking healthier. That is, until I place another Kaszazz order.

I have a full day off tomorrow. Tomorrow's plan is to make the 27 Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) for a swap with other Kaszazz consultants. They are so much fun to make and I love seeing other consultants designs. Each ATC measures 2.5" x 3.5" and are like miniature works of art.

I must share a card that was made in a card swap for me by Carolyn Shaw. This is a really beautiful card and I love the colour purple that she chose.

 Till tomorrow,

Fiona.
