There are no mistakes in stamping...

only opportunities for creativity.

One of my favorite sayings!  This card is a variation of one designed by Kim Vale for a shoe box swap.  I gave myself an opportunity for creativity when I smudged some extra black ink on the main image.  To cover it up, I punched some Melon Mambo card stock with the Trio Flower punch.

Stamps: Wedding Sweet stamp set

Ink: Basic Black Classic Pad

Paper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Basic Black card stock; Groom specialty paper

Accessories: White taffeta ribbon, Trio Flower punch, Ticket Corner punch, Vintage brads, dimensionals

Why can't I use my hair dryer to emboss?

Hairdryers do not get hot enough to melt the embossing powder and generally blow too hard. They may blow the embossing powder right off the paper!

Stampin' Up!'s high-quality heat tool makes embossing quick and easy. You can also use this handy tool to heat set pigment inks on chipboard, glass and cloth.

To order the heat tool, visit My Online Stamping Store and click on 'Shop Now'.  Enter code 100005 in the search the store box.
