Something Saturday - Christmas Ephemera

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show off the new Ephemera/ Mix & Match packs in the new Mini Sept to Dec Catalogue. Yay for Christmassy stuff! In the video I just showed off all the components of each: Christmas Greetings Mix & Match specialty Cards & Envelopes (lovely gold foil on them) Greetings for you Mix & Match Ephemera Pack Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack Christmas Tags & More 6x6" Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper I also mentioned that I'm happy to do up 1/2 packs of these bundled together.  I have worked out the price to be $40 plus postage if I have to mail it out to you.  Let me know if you are interested in this. Also if you're keen to use these, but lack inspiration, I'll be offering a class (see details below the photos).   For these pictures I have just laid the pieces on top of the base cards, not stuck down, but just to check layouts, I've added a bit of the Real Red Shiny ribbon in the first ...

Mixing it up with Embossing Powders

 Hi there Creators, 

Well this Something Saturday I've mixed up my embossing powders - literally!

I thought it would be interesting as they come in packs of 3 now to see what black and white would look like mixed up and embossed etc.

Therefore here are my findings.....

first up the embossing powders straight up - 

Top Row: Gold, Silver, Copper, 

Bottom Row:  Black, Clear & White (yes the clear isn't obvious, but bear with me!)

Henna Hearts, Heat Embossing, Stampin' Up!

So then I took a bit of 2 different colours from the sets of 3 and mixed them up in separate containers, and these were the results: I've put the 2 original colours either side of the mixed colour

Gold and Silver mix

Black & White Mix

Now I asked you to bear with me on the clear, and here is what I did with it (actually I did 2 things....)

Firstly I took the clear embossed on white cardstock, and added colour to the background using Blending Brushes;  where the embossing is stays white  (so pretty)

Then as I was doing this I thought how cool it would look with a different colour under the embossing, so I've used Pool Party cardstock, clear embossed onto it then added colour over the top (love it!) by the way how pretty is this heart from Henna Hearts stamp set?

I made them both up into cards using the lovely "Sending Hugs" saying from the new Eden's Garden Stamp set
