Insomnia


Ever have those nights where you just can't sleep? I have them a lot, so I am thankful for stamping and blogging. I find that if I go to bed too early, I am up early, like this morning...........wandering around at 4:30 a.m. wondering what to do!!!

I do have a few nocturnal stamping friends who I can engage in some emails, but it is also a good time to catch up on stamping projects and to blog, of course!!!!

This card is a Scratch and Sniff Card. The lime smells absolutely Fresh and Delicious!!!!

To do this technique you will need:

Clear Embossing Powder
Unsweetened Drink Mix
Embossing Ink.

Mix 1.5 Tablespoons of the Unsweetened Drink Mix of your Choice (Sweetened drinks WILL burn!) with 1 Tablespoon of Embossing Powder. Ink up your stamp with either pigment ink (Stamping UP! craft ink) or Versamark. Shake on your aromatic Embossing Powder and heat emboss. These cards are fun, especially for Childrens Cards.

This card was created using goodies from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalogue. Tart and Tangy, Spring DP and Hardware can be found there................follow the link to my SU! website to find all of these delicious products!!!

  2. This is fantastic Vicki! I tried the scratch n' sniff myself, and I just couldn't get it right. Maybe my mixture was off. I'll try what you've got here.
