Pop of Petals - TGIFC169 - Heat Embossing

July 20, 2018

Heat embossing is such a magical technique. I remember the first time someone showed me how to use embossing powder. It was amazing! I think we heated the powder over a toaster. LOL. We've come a long way.

My card for TGIF Challenge 169 (#TGIFC169) is bright, summery and shows a mix of Stampin' Up!'s new InColor embossing powders. I love these bright new powders.

How I achieved this gradient look ...

1. Stamp verse in Versamark ink.
2. Spoon out a tiny amount of Pineapple Punch embossing powder and drop along the top of the image. Be careful to dump the excess away from the lower half of the image.
3. Spoon out a tiny amount of Lovely Lipstick embossing powder and drop along the bottom of the image. Be careful to dump the excess away from the upper half of the image.
4. Fill in the middle of the image with Grapefruit Grove embossing powder.
5. Fill in empty areas with small amounts of powder as needed.

Are you ready to show off your heat embossing skills? Play along with us this week. (#TGIFC169)

Wood Words - TGIF Challenges Emboss resist

July 28, 2017

Look at this pretty card! I'm really please with how it turned out. This card was created for this week's TGIF technique challenge. I love the emboss resist technique. It's so easy to do and creates fabulous looking results every time.

For this card I stamped the flower background from Wood Words in Versamark repeatedly in opposing corners of a layered Whisper White card stock. Then I heat embossed the stamped image with White Embossing powder. I painted in colors using an Aqua painter. I'm all about Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink lately.

Check out what the design team created over on the TGIF Challenge blog. As usual, the projects are stunning and really inspiring to me. Thanks for stopping by. Supplies listed below.

Fall Fest, Seasonally Scattered, For all Things stamp sets. Stampin' Up!

Fall Fest - Hello Fall

October 7, 2014

I had a few pumpkins leftover from the Fall Fest - Grateful for You swaps that I made and posted about the other day. I created another card featuring this emboss & color technique for my card a week challenge with Paula. I am about 2 weeks behind on this challenge but am catching up.

I really like the way this card turn out. It's clean and simple, just my style. We may even make this card at my next card club.

A few fun things to note...

1. I stamped the THANKS image from Seasonally Scattered as the background image for this card. I stamped the image in Mossy Meadow.

2. I stamped the hardwood in crumb cake on crumb cake card stock and then cut one plank to create the wood banner that covers up the THANKS phrase in the Seasonally Scattered image. I love how covering up the phrase gives this stamp set so many more uses.

3. I stamped the 'Hello Fall' in vellum and then overlaid the phrase onto the pumpkin and the plank banner.

Fall Fest - Grateful for You

October 5, 2014

Next weekend I am headed to St. George to attend Jill Olsen's Fall Stampin' get together. It should be a fun time filled with lots of ideas and techniques. I've talked my mom into attending as well and I am excited for a girls weekend.

I've been getting some SWAPS together for the event. Below is one of my swaps. This card is perfect for fall and features a fun and simple technique on the pumpkins. I'm going to call it emboss & color - if you are aware of an official or better name please let me know. Here's how I did it.

1. Stamp your image in versa mark. I stamped the tall pumpkin from Fall Fest.

Pumpkin is heat embossed with whisper white embossing powder - it's hard to see.

2. Cover image in white embossing powder and heat emboss. I added a few tiny flecks of gold embossing powered to the white for a little bit of shimmer.

3. Color in the embossed areas using Blendabilities markers. I used shades of Pumpkin Pie for the Pumpkin image and Old Olive for the stem. The most fabulous part ... the marker does not wipe off. It's permanent. It kind of gives a watercolor look to the embossing and it visually adds more dimension than a flat color embossing powder. It is a bit time consuming for a swap card but I like the overall look.

Pumpkins from Fall Fest - heat embossed and colored with Blendabilities.

Stamping a scene … I always marvel at how quickly a project can come together when stamping. Sometimes I like to stamp on wet paper as it can make the ink bleed and blur. For this card I built a collage scene with a bunch of stamps and layered with die cut shapes from the Queen Bee bundle. 🐝 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #gdp564

Birthday Queen! A cute card for a queen. Our September theme for USE YOUR STASH is “hardly used” and this theme might describe MOST of my craft room. I dug around and found a stamp, die, color and embellishment that I hardly used to create a card CASEing a lovely project for @global_design_project #gdp564 - It's nice to see these products getting some more love. Stash products: Color: Bumble Bee - such a great yellow! Stamp & Dies: Queen Bee Embellishment: Open Leaf Trinkets Use Your Stash is a monthly Instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we already have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Next up is Bree! @craftsomnia @hammondandpenny @simple_stamper @narellefarrugia @bellestampinwithann @i.heart.stamps - that's me! #stampinup #useyourstash #queenbee #cardmaking
