Embossing Folders

 The Sisters in Stamping are taking a look/see at Embossing Folders this week for Fabulous Friday. Here is my card--

It's a monochromatic card using the colors Mint Melody and InColor Just Jade. The Embossing Folder I decided to use for today's challenge is called Parisian Flourish (#151474, $10.00). It is a 3D Folder which means that the folder is thicker so that the design in the paper can be deeper and more pronounced. I took that feature and used it by highlighting it with the ink pad of the same color as the card stock by laying it right on top of the embossed card stock. I really like the way the ink pad left some ink on parts of the paper and then left some of it blank.

Thank-you for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😊

2015-17 InColors

Here is my card for this week, Rachel over at the Sisters in Stamping blog picked the new 2015-17 InColors as a focus this week.

I used the new Butterfly embossing folder opened and sponged each of the new InColors across the folder starting with Watermelon on the top. Sprayed the folder with water and then using the new thicker Whisper White card stock "printed" the butterflies. Once it dried I put it on dimensionals. I took my inspiration from this blog post where she used the Hexagon Embossing Folder to print her background.

Thank-you for stopping by today! Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Reinkers for Friday!

It is Debbie's turn this week for the Fabulous Friday post and she has picked projects done with Stampin' Reinkers. Also, we have a new look over at the Sisters in Stamping blog so you'll need to go take a look! Here is my card for this week--

I made up a new Technique! At least I think I did.... I did a twist on the Reinker Spread Technique, so I'm calling it Reverse Reinker Spread. I used the embossing folder called Flower Garden with Shimmery White cardstock. Before I sent it through the Bigshot I took the Versamark ink pad to one side of the folder. Once it was embossed I sprinkled the side that had the Versamark ink on it with white embossing powder and heated it with the heat gun. I used the Pretty in Pink and the Lucky Limeaide reinkers (both of these colors will be retiring soon) and my aquapainter to color in my flower --the raised portion of the embossed design, the flat part was covered with white embossing powder and did not pick up any ink. The technique is easy but trying to explain it, that is difficult to do!

Happy Stamping!

Thanksgiving for Friday

November is here (already!) and over at the Sisters in Stamping blog we are showcasing some Thanksgiving decor and cards for you this week. Here is my project for this week--

 

This little paper pumpkin turned out way too cute! I used the BigShot to emboss some Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (pg.189, #117335) and then cut it into 3/4" strips. Punch a hole on each end of the strip, and thread them onto some Soft Suede ribbon.

I knotted the ribbon onto it's self to create the stem. Added an Old Olive leaf cut from the Bigz Die Autumn Accents (Holiday Mini Catalog pg.33, #127812). Lastly I cut small thin strips of the same card stock and curled them with my bone folder.

Thank-you for coming by today. Next week the Sisters will be making projects with Glimmer Paper. Hope you can stop on by!

Happy stamping! Karla c(:

Spooky Spider for Sisters in Stamping Post

Hello- Friday once again! It's Debbie's week for the Fabulous Friday theme, here is my 3D Halloween Candy item for the Sisters in Stamping post.

 

This is called a 2/4/6/8 box. It's a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2x 11 cardstock (5 1/2x 8 1/2) scored at 2", 4", 6" and 8". Then again along the long side at 1 1/2". Fold it up use some glue to put it together, cut a few notches in the side--there you go! I used the Stampin' Up! Spider Web embossing folder on it before I glued it together and the cute little spider comes for the Stampin' Up! set called Tricky Treats. Last but not least, the spider has some of the new Googlie Eyes from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I'm traveling to Wisconsin this week-end and this will be my 3D trade for my Meeting on Saturday.

Thanks for looking!

Arroof Bark Bark! *

Hey! Welcome to this Fabulous Friday post. We are playing with Embossing Folders over at the Sisters in Stamping blog today. Here is my card-- 

    I used a new set called Animal Talk (love it!) to make a card using the Embedded Embossing Technique. I punched some 1" circles out in Gumball Green, More Mustard and Island Indigo, I adhered them to a piece of Whisper White and then ran it through the BigShot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. Really like the way the circles melt into the background, it gives this card a playful feel to it. Make sure you go check out what the other Sisters are doing too!
   I'm participating in the Freshly Made Sketch FMS46 for this week also.

Happy Stamping!

I also used some more goodies that came in that box ...one of the new folders called Fancy Fan, and some Designer Series Paper called Summer Smooches. The card is so bright and cheery you just hafta smile when you look at it!
