Transform plain paper by embossing it

Having a few supplies and an embossing heat tool can transform a plain piece of paper to a gorgeous piece of paper. Embossing power comes in a great variety of colors.
Supplies to have on hand:
Embossing heat tool
Embossing powder
Paper
Rubber stamp(s)
Embossing ink
Soft paint brush


The how I made this heart:
I used my Sizzix and cut two sizes of hearts
and stamped the hearts using Inkadinkado Bold Damasks clear stamp and Stampabilities Polka Dot Background with embossing ink.

Sprinkle a layer of embossing power on freshly stamped heart. Tap excess power off and use a soft paint brush to remove excess.
Using embossing heat tool, carefully heat paper following manufacturers directions. This melts the power and adheres it to the paper. I continued stamping the paper till I had the desired results. I layered the heats and added flower embellishments.

blue papers a must have

I love paper. Yes, I have a scrapbooking paper problem. Sometimes I find it difficult to cut into those wonderful sheets even though it will be transformed into something much better displayed than in my paper bin. This doesn't seem to be a problem with purchased embellishments, just paper. 

Technology is wonderful. Now with printers and my Adobe products I can create all the paper I want. Here are two eri*doodle blue paper FREEBIES. One is a rough scalloped blue and the other is blue and white polka dot. These coordinate great with the baby boy rocket ship and sailboat from the last two blogs.

Owls are a hoot!

When the popularity of owls rose, I wasn't too fond of them. Memories of those ugly macramé owl wall hangings flooded back from my childhood. Mom made a few and I think I even helped, but that didn't make me like them any better.
  Today, owls are everywhere and I have grown to adore these big eyed birds of prey.

  Although I created mine in traditional colors, they would be adorable in non-traditional colors also. Thinking pinks, purples and greens.
 Included free in this eri*doodle blog is a hand drawn template. I was trying to avoid the perfect shapes to add character. Right mouse click and save image as for full resolution and size.

Inspired by fall colors

The warm autumn palette of papers in my stock seemed to be waiting for me to start designing. Yesterday I notice Mother Nature has just begun displaying a spectacular show of fall colors. Couldn't wait to start designing my fall tree. After finishing this paper piecing tree, I realized how versatile this design can be. I made flowers, leaves and soon hope to add an owl.
