Welcome to Stamp-n-doodle Wednesday! We are having an artist feature this week. Some of the SND digi images are created by an artist named Lauren Curtis. This week, all of the Design Team ladies are using a Lauren Curtis image on our creations. Since Halloween is still coming up for us here in the US, I decided to work with the image called "Halloween Cat". With that said, here is what I made for this week:

Stamp-n-doodle Wednesday!!!

Welcome to Stamp-n-doodle Wednesday!!!! This week I am the featured challenge coordinator and I am so excited about it. I chose Wet, or better known as heat embossing on digi images!!! Here is a card that I made with one of the new Halloween images:

Ok, I heard that some of you out there do not understand the challenge or how to do it, so I am adding some instructions here to my post. What I wanted everyone to do was to heat emboss on the actual digi image!!! Sounds strange, I know because when we usually heat emboss we do it with a traditional rubber or clear stamp and an embossing ink pad or Versa Mark Ink pad. There are two ways that you can Heat emboss on a digi image, this is what I did with the card above. I used what is called a versamarker, see photo below:

This marker has the same ink in it that the Versamark Ink pad has. It is a sticky ink that embossing powder sticks to. It has two tips on it, a brush tip and a small tip. You simply color with it on the area that you want to emboss, in my case it was the black cat and I used Clear embossing powder. So, you color the area to be heat embossed, sprinkle on the embossing powder and heat set with a heat gun. Simple as that. Now, if you need more instruction, let me know and I will try to make another one so that I can post step by step pictures. Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know. Maybe Lynne would let me post it on the blog as a tutorial. So let me know if you need more assistance. Now, the other method of heat embossing is the same as if you used a stamped image, you would simply stamp a versamark ink pad directly on the entire image after you have colored it and cut it out, and then add your embossing powder, heat set with your heat tool, and you are finished. You can do this with 3 or 4 layers if you like, put it into the freezer to dry, then bend it little to create cracks and give it an antique look. Use Clear Embossing powder for this method as well. Now, if you are very curious, DT member Jacki, used the second method on her card this week with the cardinal image and it is absolutely gorgeous with great photos, so go check it out! Go visit the other DT lady's blogs and see what wonderful creations they have made to inspire you. Until next time..........Blessings, Lisa

Remember that you don't have to use a Stamp-n-doodle image, but if you do, you get an extra entry in the challenge. Have fun with it! Until Next time............Blessings, Lisa

Stamp-n-doodle Wednesday!!!

Welcome back this week for Stamp-n-doodle Wednesday!!! The challenge this week is Embossing, either Wet or Dry Embossing will do. Now, you don;t have to use a Stamp-n-doodle image, but if you do we reward you with an extra entry in the challenge!! I love both kids of embossing, so I had a bunch of fun with this challenge. I used Wet(heat), and dry embossing on my card for this week. A lot of people don;t think about using heat embossing with Digi images, but it is so simple to do. Simply color the areas that you want to emboss with a Versamarker and add your choice of EP, heat like you would if you used a rubber stamp, and that's it. So, here is what I created with the Cardinal image from Stamp-n-doodle:

I used Stampin Up's Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on the snowy branches of the tree that the pretty cardinal is sitting on. The background was created using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I hope you feel inspired to emboss and join our challenge. Please visit the other DT ladies blogs and the company blog (links on my sidebar), leave them all some much deserved love and join our weekly challenge to win free digis. This card is entered in the following blog challenges: Inky Impressions - Anything Goes (my favorite challenge) Anything Goes Challenge Blog - Early Christmas

Welcome to Stamp-n-doodle Wednesday, please accept my apologies for not posting Soft Pencil yesterday. We had some plumbing problems in our apartment that were taking forever getting fixed and it had my brain so frazzled I could not concentrate on anything creative.

Anyhoo, the challenge this week is to create something with your favorite color!!! What a fun challenge! My favorite color is purple, and the new digi images below remind me of myself when I was a little girl, so I made a scrapbook page.
