CAS Mix Up June Reminder: Embossed Vellum

Time for the CAS Mix Up June Reminder.

Susan is hosting the Embossed Vellum Challenge.  All the DT cards are Stunning!

You still have until the 24th to play along.

Here is my card using Heat and Stylus Embossed Vellum,

Stamping,  Die Cutting and Watercoloring with Zigs.

I used my new Gorgeous Penny Black Country Charisma stamp set and

Country Charisma cut out set, which I had NBUS (never before used stuff)!

I used SU Vellum Cardstock,  which is a bit thicker than regular vellum.

I heat embossed the stamped images using Versa Magic Cloud Nine and Heat Embossed

with Wow White Bright EB Powder.

Then die cut the 2 flower stems and pitcher and went Wow!

Then the fun really began...

Turned images over and watercolored with Zig Clear brush pens. Dried quickly.

Turned the die cut images over onto piercing mat and used SU stylus to carefully

go over the heat embossed areas to add additional puffy texture.

I used a craft knife to add 2 small slits at top of pitcher to slip the stems thru.

Used SU Fine Tip Glue Pen to secure stems.

I used SSS "Postage Stamp Edge Frame" to die cut layer of vellum that had colored flakes

and attached to die cut White 100# CS.

Next added stamped Penny Black "Smile All Seasons" sentiment.

Placed die cut images on background using Fine Tip Glue Pen on pitcher,

then added a few SU mini dimensionals to flowers to pop up.  

Attached to SU Very Vanilla Thick cardbase and Done!

I Loved the texture and elegance of the bouquet using vellum.

Thank you Susan for your awesome challenge.

I am going to be using vellum more often now:-)  Hugs..

Playing with Vellum for CAS Christmas Card Bell Challenge

Had fun making A Christmas Card with Vellum.

I am adding my card to two favorite CAS Challenges: 

CAS Mix Up 

and

CAS Christmas Card

.

Here is my CAS Christmas Card using Bells that I stamped and heat embossed on Vellum.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and used 3 different Dies.

Close Up showing true Gold heat embossed colors.

I began by die cutting the SU 100# card front with Reverse Confetti "Lacy Scallop Frame".

Then die cut the window aperture using Memory Box "Stitched Circle" die.

Next die cut another circle with SU Vellum Cardstock and stamped and heat embossed 

with SU Gold EB Powder the bells from SU "Bells and Boughs" (retired) stamp set.

Tip: Do not hold heat tool too close to vellum or it will curl &/Or melt!

Inlaid 1st die cut card front then attached stamped vellum using Connect Glue

behind heat embossed bells so glue would not show thru the vellum. 

Die cut and glued on die cut circle frame layer.

Weighted down with large acrylic block.

Next used a tag die (?.gift from friend) and only die cut the center out of vellum

to use for the gold heat embossed sentiment from same stamp set.

Attached with Connect Glue and Done!

I was pleased to be able to share my card with both challenges.

Always great to add to my Christmas stash too.

Enjoy and Stay Safe and Creative my friends.

You still have until the 24th to play along in the CAS Challenges.  Hugs..
