Sweet Treat Heart Cups Card Idea

Well, what do you think of the new look of my blog?  It was fun freshening things up!

Speaking of a freshening up..... This fun card idea holds Candy Cane Bath Crystals from Lemongrass Spa.  These were some gifts I made for guests who brought a friend to my first spa party.  They loved the idea! And thanked me for the treat!
The hearts are clear cups that are self adhesive.  You fill them with what you like, then stick them down! I used the full heart punch to punch a heart for the treat cup to poke through.  So fun!

Stampin' Up! Autumn Days Emboss Resist Idea

Yes, it's been awhile :( So sorry!
I have been a bit preoccupied with life :)
In a good way.....Stamping for Card Classes, Stamp Club and some upcoming workshops and also doing my new love... Lemongrass Spa Parties!

I will be posting pics of my card class I had last night (8 cards we made!)
But for now I thought I'd share this great masculine card idea with the emboss resist technique.

Simply emboss your image on vanilla cardstock with clear embossing powder and then rub ink over the image with a sponge or sponge dauber.  VIOLA!
I also used our Bridesmaid Specialty Paper and ribbed ink on that too... it doesn't stick to the shiney stripes!
