Hi Friends! Yesterday I had a play with some items that have been sitting on my desk and what fun I had! One of the items I wanted to use was the “Layered Florals” embossing folder, which I had inked with my markers well over a week ago, but didn’t get any further than that. So I spritzed the folder with a bit of water, ran my paper through my Die Cut & Emboss Machine, and then added some gilded leafing. This is the result:
Instead of cutting this, I’m going to use it to make a journal! I love making journals and different albums so I’m really looking forward to this next project.
Next, I wanted to create some cards using the “Double Embossing Technique“, which I haven’t done for years! Instead of using a second embossing folder, I used a die and it worked out great!
This is such a cool technique. You’re getting embossing and the look of layers but it’s only one piece of cardstock!
Of course, I had to make a couple more cards using the “Double Embossing Technique”:
This card was another experiment, as I used one of the “Encircled in Nature” dies and then I sponged the ‘raised’ embossing, as well as the embossing from the folder. You could certainly just use a die cut, but I think it’s fun to play around and use our products in as many ways as we can.
This last card has it all: double embossing, reverse embossing with a twist, watercolouring and a touch of gold leafing and embellishments. I don’t think I have to tell you how much I enjoy this little hobby of mine LOL Truly, stamping really DOES makes my heart happy!
Have a wonderful weekend & HAPPY STAMPING!
