Christmas Craft Creations Challenge, June theme: Heat embossing

 Christmas Craft Creations Challenge, June theme: Heat embossing.



For my card I used the Nellie Snellen Wreath builder stencils and cut my card to  fit 12.5cm square.

For the snowflakes I've used My Favorite Things Simply Snowflakes and Versamark ink.

I have stamped and heat embossed each snowflake and each colour one by one as I didn't want to smudge the power or ink, quite the labour of love, but it looks pretty.

For the snowflakes I've used Wow embossing powders:  Opaque prinary frozen, Under the sea,Oceanic and for the sentiment  Metallic Silver regular.

The sentiment is also from My Favorite Things, from the set Bitty Holiday wishes.


For the cardbase I cut an A4 sheet lengthwise at 14.85cm and folded it in half.

Mounted the panel with snowflakes onto the cardbase with foamtape and the same with the sentiment strip.

AAA Birthday Challenges #26 Flowers, with video

 
 This month the AAA Birthday
Challenge is: flowers.

For my card I've used a die/stampset from Marianne Design (col1379)
Off camera I diecut it from three colours of pink card and the freem stem, I've also embossed the details before filming. I've put double sided tape on the back of the coloured card, so the bits become salf adhesive, like stickers.
The dies are designed to cut, emboss details and then to ink those details. For that I've used Distress oxides as they would show up on the darker cardstock.

The sentiment is from Impression Obsessions and I've srtamped it with Versafine ink.
Then I've splattered the backgorund with Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.
Mounted the whole twig together on a slant.

I made a second card today , with critter this time ;-) it's from Crafter's Companion Mulberry Wood collection and the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Laugh out loud, colored with Zig Clean Color real brush pens

Have a colorful Birthday

 


The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Masculine, schowcasing Tim Holtz.

For my card I've used the Distress inks refills from Tim Holtz.

I've used them on watercolor paper  in two colorful  compositions. I've used the wet in wet technique and then splattered with Finetec Gold watercolor paper.

Then diecut them  with the Craft Emotions set (115633/0270). I've cut a black panel to line my cardbase, I thought that would be more masculine and it also makes the colors pop.

The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp (one in a chameleon) and embossed it with Opaque Bright white super fine embossing powder from Wow.
