John Next Door 2nd Launch. . . . . .Slate Heart


Good morning everyone. Hope all is ok with you and yours.

Thank you for your lovely comments on my cards made with John's 1st launch John Next Door products. Today, at 7am on Hochanda, John is launching his second release of products, including stamps and masks.

Now, you know I like to be different and when I saw this slate heart in Poundland, I knew exactly what I was going to do with it. It is heat embossed in white.
For anyone who hasn't stamped or heat embossed slate before, I will give you a couple of tips.
Choose the flattest slate you can get for even stamping. 
You will still need to anti static it before stamping too.
Slate obviously behaves differently to paper. You heat from the top but it takes quite some time for the powder to do its thing, as that patch of slate needs to get quite hot for it to melt so be very careful where you hold it. As it also then takes a good while to set as the slate stays hot for a while, I find it easier to do it in stages, rather than all in one go. Let the slate cool in between.


Ingredients
Hanging slate from Poundland
John Next Door Summer Flowers stamps
John Next Door Spring Flowers stamps
John Next Door Butterfly Frames 
John Next Door Flower Circle stamp (sentiment)
Versamark
Stampendous white embossing powder


Hope you manage to catch some of John's shows today. I promised him that I would surface from my warm nest to watch the 7am show (if ever there was a time I needed caffeine lol!!!).
He did ask if I wanted to go with him to help set up again but with the prospect of a 4am start, I graciously declined.

Back again tomorrow with another show sample.

Ps.......Haemoglobin now back in the normal range, hurrah! Finally, a good test result lol!!!

  1. Morning Ang, what a fabulous project, I think I need to get to Poundland quickly before they start selling out of slate hearts. So pleased to hear that you had positive test results, and I don't blame you for not wanting such an early start. Take care and have a great day all. Bx

  14. Hello Ang,
    Love today's project, it's gorgeous. Wish I'd called in sooner, I've been to town today and could have paid a visit to the £ shop!
    You're one wise lady declining a 4 a.m. start ha ha.
    Brilliant news about the latest test, long may it continue.

  15. Hi Ang. As Maureen says Brilliant news about the latest test. Brilliant idea with the slate heart. Really like it. Also liked the cards you had done on John's show. Didn't he do well. Really pleased for him. When I next go into town I shall have a long shopping list for the Poundshop. John suggested several things to get in Poundshop and Wilko at the demo and workshops at the weekend so think I had better write it all down. We are lucky to have two different Pound
    shops. Think the other one is Poundworld.
