A fun Embossing Technique & a Blog Hop

Good Morning Crafty Friends!

This week I am playing along with Bruno and Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop. I am joining in with a group of demonstrators who are working on building our businesses, all the while, having fun in the process. 

I encourage you to hop around and visit the other demonstrators on this hop, I know they will appreciate it especially if you leave a comment to let them know you visited. 

You will find some fantastic cards, from people who are far more talented than myself. I am sure you will find inspiration and enjoy yourself too. 

   

How beautifully did these turn out! I used Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder and Blushing Bride and one of the new In Colors Pale Papaya. Each card is only 2 colours, White and either Blushing Bride or Pale Papaya. They are surprisingly simple cards too!

For the first two of the cards I made, I swiped the indented (top/Stampin' Up!® symbol) side of the embossing folder with my Stampin' Pad for one embossed piece and for the other embossed piece I swiped the raised (bottom) side of the embossing folder. 

I then placed my 13.4cm x 9cm whisper white cardstock into the embossing folder and closed it carefully so as not to have the piece cardstock move whilst inside it, and then ran it through the Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM).

Sample of using blending brushes over the already embossed cardstock on the debosssed side.   

For the other 2 cards I made, I ran the Whisper White 13.9cm  x 9cm cardstock through the SCEM to emboss it with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. After this I used my blending brushes. I gently rubbed them onto the Stampin' Pads to pick up some colour then softly making large circles over the embossed cardstock offloaded colour.  One I coloured the raised embossed side and the other piece I coloured the debossed side.

Once I finished having fun making the embossed pieces, I used multipurpose glue to adhere them to a    14.4cm x 10cm  piece of matching coloured cardstock. I bound a piece of ribbon & bow around the top of them, and then adhered that to the Whisper White base card.

I punched a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Elegant Tag Punch and then again used the blending brushes to softly add some colour around the edges of them. Finishing them with either a sentiment in Basic Gray Stampin' Ink or a small sweet image. I used the Etched in Nature Stamp Set and Soft Suede ink. I adhered them to the front of the card with Dimensionals to give them a lift! excuse the pun!
