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

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

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!

Something Saturday - Embossed Acetate

Hi there Creators

At our recent Creative Connections (demo only event) Bec Scurr (one of my sister demos from Queensland) did a talk on using embossing folders and created a gorgeous card using an acetate window.  I thought I should have a go and show you too.

So here are the cards I created:

This is the card I created before the video cutting out of the Cute Zoo Crew Designer Paper for the little guy with his bongo drums, Check out all the products I've used here: What Heather Used I've used my Black Stazon to rub over the window sheeting so the design pops out (and the sentiments are stamped inside the card deliberately to show through the window.

This is the one I made up in the video, made in the same way, but this time using the new Stars at Night hybrid (embossing folder & dies), some of the gorgeous new Winter Meadow Designer Paper, one of the new Faceted Gems in the middle of the star, and a saying from (again new) Night Devine Stamp set, oh and not forgetting the Deckled Rectangle Dies!  To see what I used, click here: What Heather Used

And the inside of the card, as an improvement on my video, I recommend after cutting the hole for the front of the card that you stamp the saying through the hole, that way it's in the right place! (hindsight's a wonderful thing!)

Check out the video here to see how I create this card:

I hope this inspires you to have a go
