Friday's Cards!

The card above is a Lavinia Stamps card.  It is very sparkly irl.  Below is a photo of my neighbour's cat, his name is "Teddy", and he is beautiful! He was about roll on some catnip I had given him!  He's a bit shy, but has a very sweet nature!  I often get a visit from him!

Below is a bookmark I made, using another Lavinia Stamp. The rook on the house has lot's of Nuvo Crystal Drops on it.  
Another Lavinia Stamps card below.  All these cards are sparkly and glittery in real life. Sadly the camera doesn't show that.
I made the card below using a punch from Stampin' Up! I used a stencil for the stars.  I'm just waiting on a stamp that says something about 'please send squeaky toys for Christmas.'  It's coming from USA so may take awhile to get here.


 On the card above I have used 2 more Lavinia Stamps.  The snow is an embossing powder from Stampendous, called Chunky White Deep Impression" embossing powder.  You just sprinkle it on your card where you want it, (no embossing ink is needed) and then carefully heat it from underneath the card.  I have stopped using my Milwaukee heat tool because it was too heavy and chunky.  I bought a Ranger Heat Tool from the UK and re-wired the plug so I can use it here in New Zealand.  It is MUCH lighter and easier to use, and is also SO much quieter than the Milwaukee one. It is also much easier to use when I heat the embossing powder from underneath the card.  I have arthritis in both hands and the Milwaukee one was too challenging for me to use.  I am so glad I purchased the Ranger Heat Tool!!  I also use it for drying cards when I have either stamped on it, o used water colour ink. Ok, so thank you for dropping in!  Have a SUNSHINE day!  Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
