Our technique this week is Heat Embossing. I think heat embossing is a technique that wows new stampers. It is magical to see powder turn into a raised shiny image – magic for sure.
I searched my stamps for an image that would work as a white silhouette image on a dark cardstock color. Dragonfly Garden caught my eye, and I knew it would look stunning on Starry Sky cardstock. Layering it with Basic White makes the focus image pop.
Here is a close up so you can see the embossing.
Let’s hop on to see what everyone else has to share. Enjoy!

Hello from beautiful Brighton, Colorado. If you are already a subscriber welcome back. If you arrived from a blog link I am glad to have you here.
Today I am participating in the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop. This month it is a color challenge. Bright colors are some of my favorites, but my goodness, this one had me stumped. After trying several stamp sets and DSP… I decided to just go for it! This is what I finally came up with-a bright cup of tea
The bright colors make me smile and the sweet flower blossoms are a fun addition. I used a Poppy Parade Blend to color the orange flower blossom so it would look more like Melon Mambo and I used a blends and a blending brush to softly color the Bermuda Bay tea cup. Blends are so handy.

Stampin’ Dreams is blog hopping with Christmas in July.
Do you start your Christmas card crafty early? I love making my Christmas cards early so when the holidays come around, I am finished, and I can enjoy all the fun and celebrations.
The new 2022 July to January Mini catalog has a BUNCH of fabulous Christmas stamp sets. I chose to feature Trees for Sale stamp and the Tree Lot dies. The Tree Lot dies are free with a $50.00 (US) purchase during Sale-a-bration. Free is always good.
I paired the stamps set with Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. This paper may look familiar because it is returning from last year’s catalog. It is so pretty, I’m glad they brought it back.
The white snow on the tress is die cut from white glimmer paper. It is so sparkly. Little touches like this shiny paper make your cards pop. Of course, the sky is coated with Wink of Stella.
Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you hop on to the next blogger for even more Christmas inspiration.

It has been a busy spring and start of summer. I really am having trouble keeping up! LOL
I decided to try a Sketch Challenge to help me get back in the swing of things.
The Global Design Project is always one of my go-to sketches and I always get creative ideas from the team. Sketch #348 is so soft and simple. You know I adore simple.
I also kept my card clean and simple, but went with brighter colors.
I stamped ink splatters in the Pool Party card base, you only need to stamp around the edges.
Next, I took a dauber, Pool Party, and a mask from the new Artistic Mix Masks. This created the focal point in the center of the card.
I stamped the Polka Dot Bathing Suit with Real Red on a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut it with my snips. The sentiment is Real Red also.
Can you see how I gave a nod to the tiny heart? The new Heart Pearls are so fun.
I had so much fun creating this card. I smiled the entire time….

Stamptastic Friends are going to treat you extra special this month – weddings, parties, and summer events. Get ready to feel like you have been to a party!
Weddings and Anniversaries are some of the happiest special occasions. This simple card is created with the stunning Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper. The paper does all the work for you! Look how pretty the Copper Foil and the Gray Ribbon work together with the color of the DSP.
I also used the coordinating stamp set, Elegantly Said. This Anniversary card will be going to a very special couple.
The top layer is die cut with a cool new die, it sort of embosses and cuts at the same time. I hope we get more dies like this in the future.
I know I have been missing in action lately, so I truly appreciate you stopping by today.
Make sure you hop on to Carrie. She has a beautiful card to share with you..
