Feelin' Fruity?

I thought I would share one of the cards we did this past weekend at my Tart & Tangy Technique class. It features the "Scratch and Sniff" technique. It can be a lot of fun to do. This card also uses more of the "Summer Picnic" Designer paper, which I love. (Remember it is only available through the end of June!)


To give your cards a little scent, mix 1 teaspoon unsweetned (sugar free) drink mix like Koolaid to every 1 1/2 teaspoons of clear embossing powder to get your scented powder that you will heat. All you do is stamp your image with VersaMark ink on your card stock ( a solid image works best ) and then sprinkle on your scented embossing powder, shake off excess and heat with an embossing heat tool. You can also use a powdered sugar free coffee creamer, unsweetened (sugar free) cocoa or a spice like cinnamon or oregano. You could come up with all kinds of scented cards this way! What fun!
Card Recipe:

• Stamps- Tart & Tangy
• Papers- Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Whisper White card stock, Summer Picnic Designer Series paper
• Inks- Wild Wasabi, Yo Yo Yellow and Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink pads. VersaMark Pad
• Embellishments- Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain ribbon and scented embossing powders
• Tools- Embossing Heat Tool and Stamp-a-majig

I haven't tried any other scented cards yet. Just the Lime, Orange and Lemon scented one using Koolaid. I think a chocolate scented card would be yummy! What about a scented hot chocolate card? Or peppermint? Especially when it gets closer to Christmas! I'll have to give those a try.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this card!

Happy Stampin'
