This past Thursday I had created a bunch of watercolor angels when I was experimenting with the watercolor pencils. An idea popped in my head to create a sentiment background for my leftover angels after the last tutorial.
The For Unto Us Stamp Set has one theme. All of the stamps are sentiments (with the exception of a star stamp) and it perfectly compliments the Angels of Peace Stamp Set.
I decided to get out the Stamparatus, arrange the sentiments from For Unto Us and I even added a few from Angels of Peace to create a background pattern I could stamp again and again.

| This is my layout if you like to have the same layout. |
You may notice one of the stamps is positioned sideways. I think it's like a puzzle. I like that it is visually interesting but if you prefer just one sentiment all across a page or just in one direction you can absolutely do that. I recommend grabbing a few of your favorite sheets of Designer Series Paper that have words as the background and check out what their artists have done. You can get so many layout ideas from your favorite paper stash!
Heat Emboss Powders in White, Black and Clear on Melon Mambo,
Basic White and Daffodil Delight Cardstock
Every time I start making Christmas cards I want to heat emboss. They just go hand in hand for me. Stampin' Up! has a few options available. Two different variety packs. Black, White and Clear in one set and Metallics (Copper, Gold and Silver) in the other set. Stampin' Up! also has a heat tool available too.
Use this Host Code at checkout: 4MFA2P3N and you will receive a FREE embellishment from me if you shop from October 7-31, 2021.
If you haven't already tried heat embossing this is such a fun technique and gives such a fantastic look to your cards. The shine, the raised emboss pattern will catch the eye of your card recipient.

You can heat emboss the Ombre Gift Bags too! And with the Stamparatus you can stamp right to the edge with a professional look and finish! The Soft Succulent bag is more subtle with the Clear Heat Emboss and the Evening Evergreen stands out with the White Heat Embossing.

And just in case you wanted to try heat embossing on the Brushed Metallic cardstock...
it also turns out beautifully!
