Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Something Saturday - Double Embossing

 Hi there Creators,

So, today we're doing "double embossing" oooo!  First we dry emboss using an embossing folder (with a twist) then we heat emboss the same image 😃

Here are the cards I created from this technique:

This is the first card I made before the video (and I was really happy with the way it turned out!  I've put versamark onto the embossing folder, then run the piece of Blackberry Bliss card through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, then heat embossed with silver embossing powder, I was so happy with the way it turned out I figured I should show you all how to do it too 😁  I've used the stamp set Light the Sky (which I think I used last week too!), the embossing folder Merry Melody, and Metallics heat embossing powders

Merry Melody, Double Embossing, Stampin' Up!
I also made this one up before the video, this time I embossed the Pretty Peacock cardstock, then lightly rubbed the versamark over the raised image, and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.
Then I wondered how it would look done with black embossing powder -  made me think of a kind of "older" manuscript, I rather like the effect
Merry Melody, Double Embossing, Stampin' Up!

And lastly this is what I show how to create in the video (same as the silver card)  I did discover that it really needs a heap of versamark on the embossing folder to work properly, but 3rd time lucky and I got it!  Woo hoo - go me🤣

If you missed the video and would like to see how I did this, here it is:


I hope this inspires you to have a go!

God Bless love
