Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are creating projects based on a Tic, Tac, Toe board.

A gorgeous floral thank you card made using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! and the reverse embossing technique

Reverse Embossing with Layered Florals

Today I have been trying out a technique that is new to me …….. and I LOVE it! I saw fellow demonstrator Tina Zinck demonstrate this on Youtube and couldn’t wait to try it. I use the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder to make my card.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the layered florals card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lemon Lolly card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

I embossed one of the 5½” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.

The embossed panel was then placed face down on my desk. I added colour to the petals of the larger flowers with Fresh Freesia ink. Tina used small Blending Brushes but I used Sponge Daubers and they seemed to work just as well.

I then repeatedly ran my Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad all over the reverse side of the embossed panel to build up the depth of colour. Love how the dark ink makes the bright colours pop out.

Using Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine and an embroidery needle I stitched around the die cut circle. Annoyingly, I had smeared the the sentiment whilst stitching……..urghhh. After a lot of fiddling around,  I stamped the sentiment again onto the scarp Basic White card and die cut it with the smallest circle dies from the same set. This was glued over the smeared ink and the stitching still looked great. Win, win.

A trio of adhesive backed Solid Gems finished the card.

Cards made for the circle themed Christmas Stampathon challenge using the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and Sponge Daubers by Stampin' Up!

Circle themed card for the Christmas Stampathon

Today I am sharing the cards made for the January Christmas Stampathon. The theme for this month is ‘Circles’.

My first thought was the Cottage Wreaths stamp set from the Annual Catalogue, but I have used it so much that it felt a bit obvious. I was thinking about what to do and attempting to tidy up my desk when my hand fell on my box of sponge daubers………..and just like that I knew what I wanted to do. As per the rules of the challenge I have made 4 cards.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate 4 circle themed card, you will need:

Card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I chose 2 in Sweet Sorbet and 2 in Tahitian Tide
Early Espresso card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 4
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 8 – 4 for the insides
Gold Glimmer paper – 4” by 1” x 4
Basic White card – 4” by 4” x 4

 

You can never have too many circles when you have a circle theme so I used the dotty 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the 4 Basic White panels for the outside of the card. This panel was then adhered to the Early Espresso layer. I glued the piece to the card bases.

Embossed Fragrant Forest card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects featuring dry embossing.  This is such a fab technique and adds so much to any project. I used the beautiful Fragrant Forest background stamp and the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder to make my card.

Colours in the embossed fragrant forest cards are:

 

To recreate the embossed fragrant forest card you will need:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3⅝”
Vellum – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I inked up the Fragrant Forest stamp using Shaded Spruce ink and stamped it down onto the smallest panel of Basic White card.

The stamped panel was glued to the 5⅜” by 3¾” panel of Basic White card.
