Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

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

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
