FUNKY BLOOMS CARDS

Hi Everyone,

After doing some housework today, I managed to still fit in a bit of card making. I had some Funky Blooms paper scraps leftover from a chipboard album kit. I added "Sticky Bling" to some cards and Ice Stickles as well. I left some cards blank so that people could put their own greeting on them.

I love the bright colours of this paper range. It also looks great when used on scrapbooking layouts.

Yours in Kaszazz, Fiona.

MY TIME IN MY CRAFT ROOM TODAY

Hi Everyone,

I had a very pleasant day in my craft room today. I tried a new technique that I had seen in a magazine and I had seen this at a craft camp.

Ingredients:

• Watercolour paper
• Stamp of your choice
• Distress Embossing Ink
• White or Black Embossing Powder
• 2 Distress Ink Refills
• Aquash Brush
• Anti-static pillow
• Heat tool
• Mini Mister filled with water

Method:

1. Wipe over the watercolour paper with the anti-static pillow.
2. Stamp your image using the Distress Embossing Ink.
3. Sprinkle either white or black embossing powder over the stamped image. Shake excess powder off the image.
4. Heat with heat tool.
5. Spritz water onto the embossed image. 
6. Dip aquash brush into desired colour of Distress Ink Refill and flood the colour into the area of the embossed image as desired.
7. Dry with the heat tool.

I added eyelets and ribbon to this card.

I added ribbon and dry embossed the white cardstock square.

These cards were made entirely from Kaszazz products. Please leave a comment if you wish.

Yours in Kaszazz, Fiona.

Cyber Crop - 27th December 2013

Hi Everyone,

I took part in a Cyber Crop on the 27th December, hosted by Amy Taylor. I love these Cyber Crops as you don't know what you are going to create. A bit like mystery scrapping.

With this crop, I learnt a new technique. Using your Distress Ink Pad as a stamp. We cut 2.5" squares from white cardstock and then pressed these squares onto a Distress Ink Pad leaving a white border on the square. Next we stamped an image that fitted onto the square. Next we used an Ink Blending Tool on the edges of each square.

Here is the layout, ready for the title, journaling and embellishing. I will post a photo later of the finished layout. I used photos of my great aunt and cousins. I love scrapbooking with a passion. I might try making cards using this technique. So simple but so effective.

Yours in Kaszazz, Fiona.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
