On A Crafter's Companion Kick!

You are reading this wonderful post I've scheduled ahead of time, while I am packing up the camper and heading off to Maryland with a stop overnight in NC. We will be staying with my husband's aunt, and the kids are excited -- we're planning an outing to DC! They've only been begging to travel there for the past 2 summers!

I am just in love with this Crafter's Companion stamp set. I wish I had more time to play with it, the possibilities are endless! It's the Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy - Falling Feathers EZ Mount Stamp Set, and it's just too gorgeous! Here, I chose to use gold embossing powder to make them really stand out! (If only my images would stand out...these were taken during a dreary, rainy spell we had here. Boooo.)

 The sentiment is stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento ink, and I finished it off with a pretty pink twine strand.

Stay tuned for a couple more auto-posts! I have another week until I'm back at home.

Fun With Embossing Powder And Crafter's Companion!

You're reading this, and I've (hopefully) arrived in Mount Juliet, TN with the fam to visit with my parents. After a long 3 day trek stopping at a couple of places on the way, we should have successfully been to our first performance at the Opry! Hoping to share amazing pictures with you when I return :)

Alright, so I love to collect embossing powder. However, I don't turn to this resource as often as I should. Typically, I use it at Christmas to add a little something special to the cards I send my friends and family. In my local craft store, I came across this little jar of clear embossing powder with silver glitter mixed in, and knew it was a great addition to my Christmas craft arsenal.

However, I found it works well for all sorts of cards. Here's one using a Crafter's Companion stamp, Sheena's A Little Bit Scenic - Silhouette Garden. This is one of my absolute favorite stamp sets!

 It was as easy as Memento - Teal Zeal ink,  Memento London Fog ink, the glittered embossing powder, and a strip of colorful washi.

It was hard to capture the glitter, I took pictures on a dreary day!
