<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hi Friends!<br /><br />Welcome to a blog hope celebrating a collaboration between Gelli Arts and Deco Arts!<br /><br />Recently I’ve been very flower obsessed, so I have been growing them, looking at photos of them, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">painting them and even trying out my hand at making paper versions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love the feel of Gelli Arts Parchment Paper and thought it would be a good weight to make </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3D flowers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I used the Gelli Arts + Jane Davenport Plate Kit to create prints with lots of white space. <br /><br />Once one side was dry I also made prints and marks on the other side of the parchment paper. I love the texture that the Deco Arts Heavy Body Acrylic Paints create.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Definetely one of my favourite ways to use these markers. Galaxy style backgrounds are still very trendy and as these markers are so easy to blend, you can easily create your own designs! I would suggest looking at images online for inspiration on how you want to lay down your colour. Also to be noted: no galaxy will be the same! You can flick water on to the dried surface and as they react with water, you will get these cool bleached/bokeh style effects!</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7. Creating texture using Bubble Wrap or Cling Wrap:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Much like watercolour, you can use bubble wrap or cling wrap to leave visual texture in your backgrounds. After applying your watercolour brush markers to wet watercolour paper, lay piece of damp bubble wrap over the wet surface and let it dry completely and you will get this cool design!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can use a Spritzer like the Ranger Distress Marker one to get a cool sprayed effect using these brush markers. The tips of these markers are quite sturdy and they did not get damaged after all my experimenting!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another quick technique which you have probably seen done with Distress Inks. Here I applied the markers to a acrylic block and slightly spritzed it with water and stamped with on to a piece of cardstock.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Good ol' splattering. I think one thing is clear after seeing all these techniques,I sure do like making messes! Splattering is such an easy and quick way to create backgrounds to use in backgrounds or even for diecutting.I think this would make a lovely backdrop to a shaker card to, oh that gives me more ideas, haha!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
My friend <a href="http://www.saranaumann.com/" target="_blank">Sara Naumann</a> came out with her <a href="https://bellacraftspublishing.com/stamping-techniques-with-sara-naumann/" target="_blank">latest book </a>a few months ago, and as I have been so busy I am only just getting around to reviewing it!<br />
<br />
I have known Sara for a couple of years and she is lovely and has always been very supportive and gives the best advice ever. So when she contacted me about reviewing her book which is called <a href="https://bellacraftspublishing.com/stamping-techniques-with-sara-naumann/" target="_blank">Sara's Stamping Techniques</a> I jumped at the chance because not only am I a HUGE admirer of her style, I know the book would be full of inspiration, tons of techniques and really well put together.<br />
<br />
I have loved dipping into the book for when I have been stuck on ideas for projects which is exactly what I did for the card that I made below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUKzMWlLmZdrtskQBQrfrz9GVhXlTVSSE9xBtOxoGLrAWNQmEaGKcGDehOoXjOPasOyQUEttvy5U3WFyxx1aNuGwrgaDARAplqELCPsTkoLvy1m7fHvk2RMbOOdVAbkqS2dvVIPh-OZg/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUKzMWlLmZdrtskQBQrfrz9GVhXlTVSSE9xBtOxoGLrAWNQmEaGKcGDehOoXjOPasOyQUEttvy5U3WFyxx1aNuGwrgaDARAplqELCPsTkoLvy1m7fHvk2RMbOOdVAbkqS2dvVIPh-OZg/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I followed the instructions for "Watercolor Stamping with Dye Markers" on Page 38 from the book. I used Arteza Brush Markers and <a href="https://www.aallandcreate.com/product-page/stamp-set-140" target="_blank">Stamp Set # 140 by AALL and Create</a> which was designed by Tracy Evans, a fellow creator who I admire as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz1Qi_A_RN46kNsmSOAg6722mh1nVbcbkRFY4kjfvKsE_rR-smU7Hu1MpUzDm45GyhO-1UxzMBKzvY-l0wp-64KIe8_uRfywP9pTfIK24pzlVXxT9IcUeYsTJbQ1vaUIuPE3NDcTkmbQo/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz1Qi_A_RN46kNsmSOAg6722mh1nVbcbkRFY4kjfvKsE_rR-smU7Hu1MpUzDm45GyhO-1UxzMBKzvY-l0wp-64KIe8_uRfywP9pTfIK24pzlVXxT9IcUeYsTJbQ1vaUIuPE3NDcTkmbQo/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The instructions were so easy to follow and I was very pleased with the finished result! I also especially love the splatters (because I adore them, haha!) which were also shown how to recreate in the book.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
There are links to bonus how to videos in the book which shows how much time and attention has been put into it! And all of this for just $14.97. You can see more details about the book<a href="http://www.saranaumann.com/create-and-craft/" target="_blank"> here on Sara's website</a> and link to buy the book can be <a href="https://bellacraftspublishing.com/stamping-techniques-with-sara-naumann/" target="_blank">found here</a>.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day :)<br />

I am so excited to share my project today which I made for a collaboration between Gelli Arts® and ArtFoamies! I love stamping with ArtFoamies are they remind me of my block print stamps and they stamp so beautifully on many different surfaces as they have a bit of a give to them, which gives that super smooth image.<br />
<br />
For my project, I made a selection of prints and decided to make myself a Mini Art Journal using Eileen Hull's Wrapped Journal Die by Sizzix. It turned out to be a labour of love but I love how it turned out!<br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have recently been loving making master boards, they are so easy to put together and great for creating backgrounds for a series of projects, in this case cards! The above image is the two masterboards I created before I cut them up to make card backgrounds. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I mounted the <span style="text-align: center;">3 X 5 plate and the 3" round plate on to an acrylic block and went to town creating impressions with Gelli Arts acrylics paints, bubble wrap, and various stencils from my stash.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I tried to keep as much white space as possible, which gives the piece a slightly airier look! I love that it makes it look a little less busy as well.</span></div>

Hi Everyone!<br />
<br />
Welcome to a company collaboration with <a href="https://www.gelliarts.com/" target="_blank">Gelli Arts</a>®and <a href="https://plaidonline.com/brands/plaid" target="_blank">Plaid</a>! The artists were sent a selection of some the Plaid's products and the theme for the projects was Fall!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
I had an idea for creating a banner as I love the look of them and making them as well!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7SoLTo5m4ZlL7LbvDwITiXAVhICPlViGfIXQnH1If39XfpGJqr9X5qntP9zGw8BFWNCqTqMGa1llUgMaFt4UuTP6JP_To1lQT8aTo-F4nd0vzkqPDe11tSXPA3Ys7HDhOjWdAJu3qMFY/s1600/fall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7SoLTo5m4ZlL7LbvDwITiXAVhICPlViGfIXQnH1If39XfpGJqr9X5qntP9zGw8BFWNCqTqMGa1llUgMaFt4UuTP6JP_To1lQT8aTo-F4nd0vzkqPDe11tSXPA3Ys7HDhOjWdAJu3qMFY/s640/fall.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I also wanted to experiment to see if I could create a woodgrain print using my Gelli Arts® Gel Printing Plate, and I am so pleased with the results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I made a video which you can see below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i9.ytimg.com/vi/viocIYIthCs/default.jpg?sqp=CPDHz9wF&rs=AOn4CLDQPNpTNRCo9vAB2lcutYOTMLB6Hg" frameborder="0" height="423" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/viocIYIthCs?feature=player_embedded" width="752"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
And here's the banner from another angle:<br />

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Welcome to <a href="https://wp.me/p6oCKH-1Mc" target="_blank">Day 2 of Rubeena's Craftversary Blog Hop!</a> If you are taking part in the hop, you have come to my blog via the very talented <a href="http://www.cheironbrandon.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Cheiron Brandon's Blog!</a> I am so delighted to join over 70 guest designers to celebrate friendship and our wonderful crafting industry through which I have had the honour of making some very special friends :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've made a mixed media card using products by Altenew and Wow Embossing Powder and I've made a video with a voiceover on how I made it:</div>

Here's a close up of all that textured gorgeousness! How beautiful is that Gold Rich Ultra High Wow Embossing Powder? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made a stencil using <a href="http://shrsl.com/14w8i" target="_blank">Altenew's Cube Cover Die </a>which I adore:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used <a href="http://shrsl.com/14w8m" target="_blank">Altenew's Script Words Die</a> for the "love" sentiment and the heat embossed sentiment is from <a href="http://shrsl.com/14w8o" target="_blank">Altenew's Crafty Friends Stamp Set</a> and I used Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder in Superfine by Wow:</div>

Hi Everyone!<br />
<br />
Today I am excited and honoured to take part in <a href="https://wp.me/p6Dps1-6zg" target="_blank">Altenew's Blog Hop</a> to celebrate their <a href="http://shrsl.com/146tk" target="_blank">August release</a>. This post is very picture heavy as I was very inspired by the beautiful products, I couldn't help myself :)<br />
<br />
If you are taking part in the blog hop, you might have arrived here via <a href="http://justmadefrompaper.blogspot.com/2018/08/altenew-august-2018-stampdie-release.html" target="_blank">Agnieszka Malyszek's</a> Blog. If you would like to hop along with the rest of the participants, you can start at <a href="https://wp.me/p6Dps1-6zg" target="_blank">Altenew's Card Blog</a> and I will leave all the blog links at the end of the post. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><i style="background-color: yellow;">There is a giveaway as well which you can see the details of at the very end of my post!</i></u></b></div>
<br />
<br />
The first cards I made were made using the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146s0" target="_blank">Smiles and Hugs stamp</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/146s4" target="_blank">Die Set</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/146s8" target="_blank">Geo Frames Die Set</a>, and I've even used a sentiment from <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sp" target="_blank">Script Words Die 3</a>!<br />
<br />

<br />
Here's closer look at the Dahlia flowers from the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146t3" target="_blank">Smiles and Hugs Set </a>which I coloured using Arteza Brush Markers and stamped with <a href="http://shrsl.com/14717" target="_blank">Permanent Black Ink</a>:<br />

<br />
The next card was made with <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sf" target="_blank">Hello Gorgeous Stamp Set</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/146si" target="_blank">Die</a>. The green border was stamped using the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sa" target="_blank">Halftone Squares Stamp Set</a> using <a href="http://shrsl.com/146ua" target="_blank">Frayed Leaf Crisp Dye Ink</a>. I heat embossed the flowers from the set in WOW Gold Rich Pale Embossing Powder and water coloured them! I added splatters with gold and black ink for additional interest.<br />

My next card was made using the the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sa" target="_blank">Halftone Squares Stamp</a> set again using various <a href="https://altenew.com/collections/inks" target="_blank">Altenew Inks</a>. The "sweet" sentiment is from <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sp" target="_blank">Script Words Die 3</a>. I stamped out the background first and made an eclipse card using the die! I love how this turned out :)<br />

And here's a closer look at how finely detailed <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sa" target="_blank">this stamp</a> is! Plus I adore that gradient effect:<br />

The Inks I used for the above card are in order: <a href="http://shrsl.com/146v9" target="_blank">Midnight Violet</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/146vu" target="_blank">Heart Beat</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/146vr" target="_blank">Orange Cream</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/146vp" target="_blank">Fresh Lemon</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/146vk" target="_blank">Sweet Leaf</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/146vg" target="_blank">Turquoise</a>, and <a href="http://shrsl.com/146vd" target="_blank">Lavender Fields</a>.<br />
<br />
My next card was made using the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146t0" target="_blank">Mega Greetings 2 Stamp and Die set</a>. I used the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sa" target="_blank">Halftone Squares Stamp </a>on the "<a href="http://shrsl.com/146sn" target="_blank">happy</a>" die cut using <a href="http://shrsl.com/1471e" target="_blank">Tide Blue Ink</a>. Can you tell that I am in love with the Halftones Squares set, haha?! I used the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sd" target="_blank">Halftone Squares Die set</a> to do some dry embossing on the background panel for some subtle texture.<br />

Here's a closer look at the dry embossing and stamping. The "<a href="http://shrsl.com/146sn" target="_blank">happy</a>" was die cut several times and I stacked them up to get that chipboard style dimensional look:<br />

My last project was a frame that I made to hang in my home using the <a href="http://shrsl.com/146t3" target="_blank">Smiles and Hugs Stamp and Die set</a> and I die cut the sentiment from <a href="http://shrsl.com/146sp" target="_blank">Script Words 3</a> using gold metallic mirror card!<br />

I've made a very short time lapse video on how I assembled the wreath:<br />

Today on <a href="https://wp.me/p3Cnxf-bsl" target="_blank">Nathalie Kabach's blog,</a> we are celebrating her new stamp release with Rubber Moon Designs! There are two sets called Small Circle Jumble and Large Circle Jumble which I absolutely adore and are so versatile. I can very easily see myself using this for art journal pages, scrapbook layouts, and for cards as I can have here :)</div>

I have used my MISTI stamping tool to create a pattern using a variety of stamps from the Small Circle Jumble and inks from Altenew! I topped the card with a dicut sentiment which is by Altenew as well. I also made a quick video showing how I assembled the card:</div>

This is a technique that I have been developing and demonstrating for years: Encaustic Embossing!<br />
<br />
I love the effects that you can achieve with encaustic wax and when I was first introduced to the technique, I wondered if it was possible to do this with embossing powder, and the answer is ... YES!<br />

You will have to use a non-steam iron for this as a encaustic iron will not get hot enough as the embossing powders melt at a higher temperature than wax.<br />

I would also recommend using transluscent embossing powders, but you can use any embossing powder that you have in your stash. I have used a variety of the WOW Primary Embossing Powders which can be found in the links below.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I'm sharing a few ideas on how to use Altenew's Cube Cover Die which I am obsessed with! When I saw this die, I knew I had to have it, it has a clean and simple geometric look which lends itself really well to many different card designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have made a video with a voice over (please excuse my voice as I am recovering from a cold) showing how you can use the die in many different ways. I'm also testing out a new software which has been a major learning curve for me and unfortunately I have had a little trouble with the sound, apologies for this, I am hoping to improve on this for the future!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are so many other ways you can use this die which I have not mentioned including using the die cut as a stencil which you can use with inks, sprays and event embossing paste.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Altenew and Birch Press have layering cover plate dies and some of them can be quite expensive so I decided to experiment to see if I could replicate the look with a single die and when I saw the Cube Cover Die, I knew I had to give it a go. </div>

Hi Everyone!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you are doing well! Today I have a very special video to share with you. I was contacted by Harish and Rashmi Closepet who are owners of an Indian Crafts Manufacturer called Little Birdie Crafts, they do fabulous embellishments and flowers which are probably the most beautiful I have ever seen.</div>

The shabby chic style of crafting is something completely new to me! As I am always up for a challenge I wanted to give it a go, and honestly it took me less than an hour to make this mini album, which I am so please about! I used Eileen Hull's Sizzix Journal die which is a must if you are into making mini albums, art journaling and travelers' notebooks.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>Harish & I came back from Australia after having lived there for 10 years wanting to do something which can employ & empower Rural women. We started a small factory employing about 40 women in Bangalore & started making handmade things & started exporting them. Then we reached out to smaller villages where there was no rain, low employment rates & started smaller Rural centres there employing local women. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>Today we employ more than 2000 women directly & indirectly! We also support an orphanage which houses around 55 children & some elderly challenged women. We also support a child rescue centre in a city close to Bangalore. All the products we manufacture in the Little Birdie brand are totally handmade. Every petal in the flower you see is hand embossed, hand shaded, hand glittered. We export our products globally & In the year 2007, we started Itsy Bitsy , a Hobby & Craft store in Bangalore. Today, we have 20 stores Pan India, covering 7 major metros & there are more in the pipeline! We are truly a vertically integrated Craft business that does everything from ideation to designing to sourcing to manufacturing & Retail ! </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>Our core business is making handmade paper flowers but we are also into making intricate laser cut Chipboard shapes, Burlap flowers, fabric flowers, embellishments, stencils, colour sprays, Adhesives, Mixed Media paste, crackle medium, Gel medium, Chalk paints, Metallic paints & more! All our Adhesives & mediums are ASTM / EN 71 approved. Our International customers can buy from our Little Birdie website: <a href="http://www.littlebirdiecrafts.com/">www.Littlebirdiecrafts.com</a>. The minimum purchase is $150 & the shipping is absolutely free. I hope this info helps </i>🙂 🙂 <i> Let me know if you need anything else.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I'm here to show you one of my go to techniques for when I need to make a quick and easy card to send out to that special someone. Double sided tape is heat resistant so it can be used with your favourite WOW Embossing Powder or WOW Sparkles Premium Glitter or WOW Fab Foil!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Watch the video below to see how I created the cards. I would absolutely love it if you can leave any comments or feedback and I am working on improving my camera skills! :) </span></div>

A few days ago I was invited to teach at LoobiCrafts in Leighton Buzzard for the second time this year. I was of course delighted and said yes! They are a lovely store stocked to the rafters with all sorts of delicious papercrafting goodies. It is a family business run by a mother and daughter team Lynne and Lisa who provide amazing and personal customer service.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I thought it might be fun to do a video and "behind-the-scenes" clips for how I got ready for the workshops leading up to the day. I had an amazing time and all the ladies were so friendly and I think they had a good time, haha! Here is the video below, it feels very weird to see my face and hear my voice on video, but I thought this might be good practice for the future!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have been putting off writing a post for some time as I have so much to share and didn't know quite where to begin. So, I decided to start somewhere and maybe the words will flow a lot more easily :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have had an extraordinary year. I feel very blessed to be where I am right now in my little craft studio in our home.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have decided to make the leap and make some MAJOR changes in my life this year, I have decided to branch out on my own and work freelance! I made the very scary decision to leave my job at <a href="https://wowembossingpowder.com/" target="_blank">WOW! Embossing Powder</a> ... I have learnt so much over the 5 years that I have been with them, picking up new skills and developed personally and professionally. I will still continue to work with my beloved WOW Embossing Powders and you will see more of my work here on the blog, on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/taniaahmed/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TaniaTalatAhmed" target="_blank">YouTube</a>!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have challenged myself to post something everyday on Instagram for the month of September, so I decided to base all my main posts for the day on a theme which I called the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/dearheartproject/" target="_blank">"Dear Heart Project"</a> which was an exercise to get me into the habit of sharing on a daily basis and to also get me to write more (something which I loved to do before I moved to the UK) and doing something beyond my comfort zone. I have had such an amazing response to the posts, where people have messaged me privately and spoken to me in person about how much they were affected by the words ... which made me feel very humbled. Thank you to everyone who has shared, liked and commented on the posts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Personally I have been looking after myself by exercising regularly, going for weekly swimming lessons (I used to be afraid of deep water yikes!) and consciously making better eating choices :) I have lost weight, gained muscle (my husband laughs at my delight in flexing my puny muscles heehee!) and feeling in the best shape that I have been in a very long time. If you have stuck with me reading through this huge post do take one thing away dear reader: Make Yourself a Priority. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for stopping by and taking part in our Blog Hop with the Design Team celebrating the new 2017 release products!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have just flown back from the Paperworld Trade Show in Frankfurt and I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity for me to share the samples that I created for display on the WOW stand!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Be sure to visit our <a href="https://wowembossingpowder.com/new-2017-products/" target="_blank">information website to view the full product release!</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can buy the new products <a href="https://wowembossingpowder.com/new-products-stockists/" target="_blank">from these stockists</a>. This listing will be updated as soon as the new products ship! </span><br />

Here are my projects for the hop, In the first card, I have used the new Hey Little Flowers Stamp which will be available soon and Just Saying, both Designed by Marion Emberson. I love both of them very much! I heat embossed the flowers with the new embossing powders which are delicious pearlescent mixes called Strawberry Sundae, Banana Split and Mint Macaroon:<br />

My second card which I created I used the Layered Hearts stamp which I am obsessed with because I love anything with hearts on them (don't ask me about how many heart does I have!) and I used Shocking Pink Embossing Glitter and Pacific Wave to do a multi-coloured background. The sentiment I used is Mr WOW's Wonderful Words:</div>

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I have been MIA for quite some time now, but I am slowly getting back into gear! I have been busy cleaning up my blog, please leave me some comments on what you think of the layout and any feedback would be much appreciated :)<br />
<br />
So what have I been upto in the last few months? I have been really busy with <a href="http://wowembossingpowder.com/" target="_blank">work</a>, and travelling and all this while I have been missing the blogging world a LOT! I have been micro-blogging all this while on <a href="https://instagram.com/taniaahmed/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> which I love, but it's not quite the same ... I have also been using <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/taniaahmed/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> like a mad thing, and I hit 10k followers a few weeks ago which I think is crazy! Does this call for a giveaway? ;)<br />
<br />
I have been doing a lot of shows with <a href="http://wowembossingpowder.com/" target="_blank">WOW! Embossing Powder:</a> Trade shows in Frankfurt (Paperworld) and Birmingham (<a href="http://www.chsi.co.uk/" target="_blank">Craft Hobby and Stitch International</a>) and also consumer shows at the NEC again called <a href="http://www.stitchandhobby.co.uk/birmingham/autumn/" target="_blank">Hobbycrafts</a>, which takes place in November. It does seem quite far off but considering the rate that the year has already flown by, it will be here soooooon! Eeek! I will be demonstrating on our stand and <a href="http://sugarandspicecrafts.co.uk/" target="_blank">Marion Emberson from Sugar and Spice Crafts</a> will be teaching workshops on our stand E25. Come and see us, I love to meet blogging friends in person :D<br />

Hi everyone!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been in a bit of a creative rut recently as work has been super busy, leaving me very little time for creative play for myself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My biggest issue right now is that I have a craft space that looks like a bomb shelter (to put it mildly heehee) and just the thought of cleaning it up steers me clear away from it. Mr. T and I have planned to get me a proper craft desk with extra storage, which we are planning to put together soon! Yay!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I always sign up for all classes on <a href="http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/" target="_blank">Online Card Classes</a>, because the teachers Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire are AMAZING and each lesson is really well put together and a pleasure to watch. This time round I am determined to play along! There's still time to sign up if you're interested :)</div>
<div>
