Notes from the paper palace

Here's a couple of cards from Thurs. card class. 

 

 

This first card is made with the Watercolor Wonder stamp set and the Watercolor Wonder designer paper.  And the wonderful Scalloped Tag Topper punch.  Love that punch.  For this design you just put the paper in without trimming it first.  It goes in kind of hard but it will go.  And after you punch the paper just trim off the excess. 

 

And thanks to Joanne Jeeter for showing us this cool technique.  The lion is on fun foam.  You get your stamp inked up and then heat the fun foam before you stamp it.  Heat the foam until it starts to curl up and then stamp it, pressing down hard.  The image is stamped and embossed.  It looks like leather.  I sponged it a little to add a little distressing.  It's beautiful so go ahead and try it.
