I wanted BLING BLING BLING and some gold 🙂 but I LOOOVED the interpretations this week .. the cards were absolutely PHENOMALISH!

Nickabella made a STUNNING card using our happy flowers (mini one). The purple layer is embossed with our new quickutz polka dot embossing folder. She also used our QUICKUTZ labels in polkadot.

And now for Nicky’s Nugget!
A great tool for controlling “flyaway” glitter and embossing powder is to use this BELLA STATIC BAG to treat your paper. I call it the “POOF AND SHMEAR” technique..LOL I am so professional.
start with your paper you are using before you emboss or glitter
POOF the static bag by pressing gently onto your paper and releasing some of it's special powDAH
A little bit less than this should come out (but it doesn't really matter)
now SHMEAR.. LOL.. all over the paper (spread the powdah)
this is now done! use a lint free cloth to "buff" .. very gently so it doesn't show
prepare versamark pad to stamp your image
stamp your image (wasabi's flower)
pour embossing powder on versamarked image
pour powder over image
pour back excess into jar so no waste!
emboss!
Voila! Crystal Clear! BEEYOOTIFUL!
I hope you enjoyed this post 🙂
Mwah to da sistahs who will enjoy a LONG WEEKEND here in Canada!
