HERE IS A GREAT IDEA OF THE WEEK FOR YOU TO USE RUBBER STAMPS -

Decorate old furniture with floral borders for a fresh new look. Dressers, end tables, and freshly painted trunks or bed posts are great for this type of rubber stamping ideas.

From Martha Stewart Magazine:

The departure of the newly married couple was traditionally celebrated with a toss of rice from the guests. Now couples are covered with a sprinkling of everything from birdseed to bubbles. Your guests will fill the sky on your wedding day with a shower of paper confetti. Playful polka-dot bags will hold confetti until guests are ready to release it. Premade fabric bags are decorated with ink from a circular pad. These make perfectly round impressions. Slip a piece of card stock into the bag to prevent the ink from bleeding through; fabric needs more drying time than paper does.

How to Use Embossing Powder on Cards

How to Use Embossing Powder on Cards
By RayLynn taken from EHow.com

Using embossing powder on cards can dress up an image with a raised look. It’s simple to add to cards with just a few steps. You will be embossing all the time once you see how simple it really is.

Things You’ll Need:
Homemade card
Embossing Powder
Clear embossing ink pad
Stamps
Embossing or craft tray
Embossing heat gun

How to Use Embossing Powder on Cards
Step 1:

Place the design in a location where it will be easily seen and won't be covered by anything you may use to finish off your card. The embossed design can go anywhere you would like.
Step 2:

Stamp the image onto the paper. Make sure that the stamp has picked up enough of the ink. Since the ink is clear, you won’t be able to see if the entire image has stamped correctly. Remember where you stamped the image so that you know where to put the powder.

Step 3:

Place the paper containing the inked image over the craft tray. Pour a generous amount of embossing powder onto the image. Gently shake the paper around to make sure the image is covered by the embossing powder.

Step 4:

Pour the extra embossing powder back into the container or into the craft tray first and then into the container, if it’s easier. Tap the paper lightly offer the tray to get any excess powder off of the paper.
Step 5:

With the embossing heat gun, heat the embossing powder. The heat will melt the powder to create a raised image. It may take a bit to start melting the powder but once it starts, it will be finished quickly. Keep the embossing heat gun fairly close to the paper, and the melting process should go quickly.
Step 6:

Now that your embossed image is done, you can continue embossing other images or you can finish off the card if needed.

HAVE FUN @remember to enjoy your stamps !
