Sweet Friends



Lately I have making my own sketches but for this one I used a sketch from Creative Scrappers.

One thing I LOVE to do is to make my own epoxy stickers. So for the initials "m" and "t" I first stamped them in brown (chocolate from ctmh) and then I stamped versa mark overtop of that and sprinkled it with clear embossing powder, then set it with my embossing heater. I did this two more times to really give it a glossy and thick effect.

Embossing powder doesn't only have to be for stamped images either. I used them on white stickers too. The "sweet" stickers were white so I sponged them with brown ink and then versa mark and embossing powder. The trick is to use tweezers to hold them while using your embossing heater. And voila, cute homemade epoxy stickers!

All product is from Close to my Heart.

  9. Well I have to admit to something, I have completely robbed your blog list! It is wonderful, like your site, I have been looking for scrapbooking blogs and you have them! Most of the blogs I had on my site were card blogs, and I am a scrapbooker at heart! Thanks so much!

  10. Jamie,
    I love both of the layouts - under the sea is just such a fun idea and the layout is awesome! I'm sure that was a lot of balloons!!!

    The next one (this post) is incredibly sweet! I just realized it's Topstitch (the top part is the backside of one of the sheets) - isn't that the BEST paper!?! I really in love with it! Your girls are so sweet and the trick about how you make the shiny elements is really good to know!
