Sharing a Stampin' Up! Heat & Stick Card

One of my stamp club members and dear friend created beautiful cards for all her sister club members and presented them at this month's club meeting.  Each was unique and she selected this one for me...isn't it gorgeous?!!

Oh, the power of Heat & Stick Powder from Stampin' Up!  Look how she used color on this beautiful floral stamp! With the help of a VersaMarker, she was able to "color" each section in VersaMark ink then proceed through the Heat & Stick process for each color.

Debbie, it is just absolutely beautiful!  Thank you so much!

To learn more about creating beautiful cards with Stampin' Up! Heat & Stick Powder, see this post and video tutorial HERE.
