Hey kids!  Cindy back on the SBC blog today with a product review of Tim Holtz Distress Embossing powder .  TiP:  Use a chunky or solid image stamp when using Distress Embossing powder.  Okay, I'm using: Tim Holtz Distress Embossing pwd in Vintage Photo Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo Versamark stamp pad Ranger heat tool Stampers Anonymous - Playful Journey stamp set  Stamp your image with VersaMark stamp pad.  Shake your Distress embossing pwd well.  Cover your image with pwd.  Tap off the excess and return it to the jar.  Heat with your heating tool.  Wait a little bit for it to cool.  Then gently rub your fingers over the image to release any of the distress particles of pwd that didn't heat up and stick.  This causes a distressed look.  It's hard to see it in the photo but it's really cool in person.  Makes this old jalopy look very real :-)   And here is the card I crea...

Hi Everyone, Sandy here for Monday's Die Cutting and Tuesday's Cars Project (kinda like two posts in one!!!) . Using Sizzix Pop-up Heart Die and the Cuttlebug, I was able to make this very easy pop up Valentine's card for my hubby. But first my tip for you: Keep a small plastic shopping bag taped to the craft table for all those scrap pieces of trash. Man, I made a mess this project, lol! Here is the outside of the card I made... folding the card closed... Okay, now for some fun!!!!  Start with a white card base and your cut out heart. Glue the little tags to the base of the card, one on either side of the middle fold score line. Here is the die that I used (side view) (front view) Next cut your card down to a 5x5 card size along with some patter paper for the front of the card. For the front of the card, I cut the extra hear that is on the die and ran it through my Cuttlebug to emboss the front. I finished off with a cute Love...
