CAS Mix Up EB Folder Reminder

Time for CAS Mix Up EB Folder Reminder Cards!

Already mid-month,  but you still have until the 24th to play along!

More beautiful Embossing Folder cards by our talented Design Team

and special Guest Designer,  Cornelia (Stempel Spass).

Using Embossing Folder die cut frame, Watercolor Stamping and Heat Embossing.

Sharing Close Up of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on Frame and main image!

I began my CAS design by die cutting Mixed Media paper using the 

largest and 2nd largest Penny Black Antique Frames.

Next I placed frame in Sizzix Softly Falling EB Folder for a snow effect.

Then stamped frame with Clear Versamark and added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Very pretty sparkly raised snow flake frame.

Then I placed the inside piece from the die cut frame into MISTI.

I used only about 1/2 of the Penny Black "winter still" image.

Painted the stem with Distress Ink and spritzed with water and stamped in MISTI.

Moved ink with wet paint brush. 

Then did the same with red berries and leaves using Distress Inks and paint brush.

When done I wanted darker leaves so did the same painting technique with Zigs.

Also added some brown to the berries.

Next stamped sentiment.

Then I had the bright idea to add Versamark to the entire image and sprinkle

with Dazzling Diamond like the frame. 

Then added more Versamark and Clear EB powder and heat embossed.

More pretty sparkling snow effect for a Christmas card.

Popped up frame with foam tape and Inlaid my main image.

I was very happy with my Christmas card:-)

Wishing you a Joyful Holiday season my friends.  Hugs..

CAS Mix Up November Embossing Folder Challenge

 It is time for our

CAS Mix Up November EB Folder Card Challenge!

Be sure and check out the inspiring and filled with textures cards

by our talented DT and Creative Guest Designer Cornelia (Stempel Spass).

My card using Embossing Folder Stamping with Distress Inks, Stamping, and Die Cutting.

I first spent time looking at the videos provided on the CAS Mix Up EB Folder home

page.  Then I decided on the EB Folder Stamping after watch the Video by Audrey at 

Splitcoaststampers.

I used Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw and Ripe Persimmon and 

used my sponge daubers to daub on the inks randomly on the 

SU Dynamic Textured Layered Leaves folder.

Ink is on the Top Debossed side of folder (side of Sizzix and Stampin Up name)

After sponging ink on folder,  I liberally spritzed with water.

Then placed Strathmore Mixed Media paper in folder.  Closed and ran through

Big Shot.  Carefully removed paper and blotted with paper towel.

Then all the Die Cutting began. I used the same mixed media paper, 

so the whites would match.

Embossed the card front with the same folder.

Die cut the window with Die-namics Rectangle Peek-a-boo Rectangle Window Die.

Placed Distress Ink EB folder behind window so the leaves would line up.

Cut image so smaller and taped to back of window.

Then I decided to add a narrow die cut frame for a white on white effect.

I cut 2 Memory Box Stitched Rectangles and taped together on the back,  

then popped up with dimensional tape.

I added a small stamped PB Happy Sentiment and Done!

I liked the textured soft look of my card. Hope you like it too.

You have until the 24th to play along at CAS Mix Up.  Hugs..
