Stampin' Up's Heartfelt Event - Perth Regionals 25th August, 2012 Part 5

Hello Friends,
Today I am showing you the last item I made for Stampin' Up's Heartfelt Event in Perth.  I used a Metal CD Container and decorated it for a Wedding incorporating a pocket for Money or a Gift Card on the inside.  I found that I needed to use the Embossing Buddy to stop the embossing powder from sticking to the tin around the outside of the stamped image.  I made sure I had a lot of the Embossing buddy powder on the tin before stamping.  If one of the images didn't stamp well  I removed the Versamark and Embossing powder with a tissue with some Isocol Rubbing Alchol. It cleaned the surface beautifully, let it dry and start again.





Supplies:
Metal CD Container
Stamps: S/U's I (Heart) Hearts, Marry Me, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Whisper White
Ink: Versamark
Finishing Touches: White Organdy Ribbon, Bakers Twine
Tools: Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Pewter E/Powder, Big Shot, Sizzix Polka Dot E/Folder, Eyelet Border Punch, Corner Rounder Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Fiskars Trimmer and Scoring Tool, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits, Word Window Punch, Crop-a-dile, Dble Sided Tape
Thanks for visiting today.  I hope you have enjoyed my series of projects using the Heat Tool.
