Hi everyone, Imelda here! Just wanted to share with you a little lot of scrappy goodness I picked up this past weekend. My husband needed to go to Quebec (we live in Ontario) to pick something up for work and so we decided to take the kids with us for a looooooong car ride. I made the most of the trip by looking up a scrapbook store in the area. I wasn't expecting to find much, especially because there doesn't seem to be much where I live, except for Michaels. I was so excited to find a store just 30 minutes from the hotel, in the direction of where we were headed!! My daughter and I went in and instantly fell in love with everything!! We went to Scrapbook Centrale. Click the video below for all the scrappy happiness I picked up for only $104 Enjoy!
Hi everyone! Here is a back-post on our very first process video featuring a card I made. I wanted to keep it simple and elegant... * I started with white card stock, but later in the video I decided to change to the caramel light brown. I think it looks better overall. * The embossing powder I used was Martha Stewarts - Gloss * The paper used were scraps that I had from left over projects - Paper colors - Caramel brown, white, black, and patterned white and black - Ribbon- The ribbon was a piece left over and it was a shiny black * The stamp used is one that I bought at my local craft store and I am not entirely sure the name or brand... Sorrry :( but it is a gorgeous stamp and I love it alot!! Heat embossing can be tricky, but brushing away extraneous bits of powder with a small, dry, paintbrush can really go a long way in improving the result! Be careful with your heat tool, many of them heat up quick! I usually use a paper piercer or craft tweezers to hold my material down and prevent it from blowing away. Share any of your projects you may have been inspired to make in the comment section, we'd love to see your work! Enjoy the video! xo Linda
