Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣  I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

Something Saturday - Double Embossing

-
Image
 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 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 ...

Something Saturday - Heat embossing with stencils

-
Image
  Hi there Creators today I thought I'd have a play around to see what it would look like to heat emboss using stencils or masks (in this case the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks )  I love the tartan look you can get with these ones, and I said to Tom (hubby) I think I made the perfect card for a Scottish Essendon Supporter 🤣 (you'll see....) I wanted to try out both lots of the embossing powders and as they come in packs of 3 colours it kind of worked (bearing in mind I used clear last week).  In with the " Basics Embossing Powders " you have Black, White and Clear.  Then in with the " Metallics Embossing Powders " there are Gold, Silver and Copper the first card I made up used the Metallics, here it is, it's kind of cool that you can heat emboss over top of heat embossing.  With this card I did the big silver squares first then the small gold squares & lines.  heat embossing always looks classy (especially the metallics)  I've used the Limited E...

Something Saturday -Snow Crystal Stamp 3 colour heat embossed

-
Image
 Hi there Creators, In my video this week I show how to pop 3 different embossing powders onto this gorgeous Snow Crystal (159821 $37) stamp set. Here are the cards I have made up after the video with the embossed pieces: I decided the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty paper went really well with it, so the first has the rose gold and the 2nd has the gold.  I've picked out a a saying from Trees for Sale (159785 $39), which also goes with the "Tree Lot" dies (a Sale-a-bration set you can get for free when you purchase $180)  I  might try and show this off next week actually, as it's got a really cute caravan in it too, umm stay tuned...... You'll notice these also have a pretty little sequin in the middle too, this is from the new Adhesive Backed Sequins and Gems (159972 $13.25)  I have to say that the sequins look more like gems, and I thought they were till I went to pick one off the backing! Oh and, to do the saying, as it is all on one line, I have "...

Mixing it up with Embossing Powders

-
Image
 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!) 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 Silver & Copper Mix Black & White Mix Gold & Copper Mix (I really liked this one!) 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;  whe...

Stamped Heat De-bossing (Something Saturday)

-
Image
 Hi There Creators, This week my "Something Saturday" video was on Stamped Heat De-bossing, I'm not sure if it's called this but I can't think what else to call it! This is it, there's no ink used in the saying, just heat embossing powder and a stamp.  I think it creates a really cool look. These are the finished cards the top card is the one I actually make in the video : Now that I'm looking at them on here, I'm thinking it would make a really cool tag to hang on a Christmas Stocking!  They kind of end up looking a bit like dog tags!  Or even on a scrapbook layout it would look really great! Anyway I'm sure if you haven't viewed the video that you're wondering how I've done this. It's actually quite simple if you know how to heat emboss! Take your piece of card, wipe it over with your Versamark ink pad, then cover it with heat embossing powder, and heat emboss it. Then repeat the process so (in my case) the Gold or Copper gets thi...
