CAS Mix Up Stenciled with Distress EB Glaze

After seeing Hideko's (Papercraft Boutique) Stenciled Embossing Glaze Technique I just had to try it!  Thank you for always inspiring me with your beautiful creative  CAS designs my dear friend😊

You still have until the 24th to play along with us at CAS Mix Up Stencil Heat Embossing.

Used Stamping,  Stencil Heat Embossing, Die Cutting.

I used a SU square die (ret) to cut out a Basic Grey "Stella Ruby" designer paper then used the next smaller square die to cut down the piece and saved the frame.

Next used Archival Jet Black ink and stamped lightly a T.H. "Stampers Anonymous" script stamp for a distressed look.  Then the fun part!  Used a D. Wakely Stencil "Leafy" and placed over part of script and used a sponge dauber to add clear Versamark thru the stencil and then lifted off stencil and set aside. 

Next heat embossed the leaves with Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze "Speckled Egg".  You can see the script thru the embossed leaves because of the opaque glaze😊

This is the 1st time I have tried the easy technique with EB Glazes and I LOVED the results.  Thank you again Hideko for the inspiration💕

I used a SU Very Vanilla Thick 4 1/4" square card base to finish my CAS card. Popped up the main image with craft foam.  Then stamped the Altenew sentiment from "Leaf Canopy" and added to the main image and Done!

I have loved all your beautiful and creative cards my friends. Thank you for playing along this month.  Love and Hugs..

My CAS Stenciled Heat Embossed card!

Close up of Shine from the Heat Embossed Distress Glaze.

Placed part of ARTplorations "Riotous Bloom Slimline Stencil over SU Whisper White 100# cardstock and secured stencil with 3M Masking Tape to my Glass Mat.  

After securing stencil I used a sponge dauber to add Versamark Clear ink thru the stencil,  then  sprinkled EB Glaze powder colors.

I used Distress Embossing Glaze Cracked Pistacchio and Broken China in that order.

Removed masking tape and stencil from card front.  Shook off glaze powders onto copy paper and poured into empty very small clear plastic pot with screw top lid to save for a future project.   The same technique as my February 1st launch card.

Heat embossed the Glaze and LOVED the beautiful shiny results.

Cut down my image leaving a white border then traced around image with a black Staedler permanent pen using a ruler.

Next added the SU Basic Black cardstock frame and popped up with craft foam onto a SU Whisper White 100# card base I found in my stash that was already splattered with Posca Acrylic Black marker.

Added a stamped with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with Clear EB Powder  SU "Happiest Birthday Wishes" sentiment (ret).

Added SU "White Perfect Accents" (3 sizes) and Done!

Darn,  I had to order a brand new to me Colorado Crafts Company "Christmas Presents" set....that I already had my eye on.  Such a cute set😊

I smiled all the time I was creating my card😊 Enjoy...

I stamped the dog and Christmas gifts image (one stamp) with Versafine black ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper using MISTI.  Then heat embossed with SU clear EB powder.

Next watercolored with Zigs markers.  Then placed the image back in MISTI and stamped the sentiment from the same set and heat embossed.

Then die-cut the frame with Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die.  Popped up the image with white craft foam and attached to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!   Thank you Susan for a fun and easy CAS Christmas Challenge😊

Distress Embossing Glaze Techniques by Jennifer McGuire 21:38..Stencil EB at 8:15

Follow your Dreams

  Placed Simon Says Stamp (SSS) "Tumbling Leaves Stencil" off the edge of SU Whisper White 100# cardstock and secured stencil with 3M Masking Tape to my Glass Mat.  

I wanted to use 3 colors of Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze (EB Powder) on the leaves,  but knew I would have to remove masking tape and stencil if I only heat embossed one color at a time.  Then replace stencil and masking tape perfectly so I would not get a blurry effect.  So I chose Glaze powder colors that would work well together if blended.

After securing stencil I used a sponge dauber to add Versamark Clear ink thru the stencil,  then  sprinkled EB Glaze powder colors.

I used Distress Embossing Glaze, Antique Linen (lt yellow), Peeled Paint (lt green) and Vintage Photo (brown) in that order.

Removed masking tape and stencil from card front.  Shook off glaze powders onto copy paper and poured into empty very small clear plastic pot with screw top lid to save for a future project.

Heat embossed the Glaze and LOVED the beautiful shiny results.

Then die cut the stenciled leaves card front with Reverse Confetti "Lacy Scallop Frame" Confetti Cut. 

Next stamped STAMPlorations "Woodland Friends" Sentiment and heat embossed with Vintage Photo Glaze twice.  It looks a bit blurry in the photo,  but does not IRL.

I popped up the image with craft foam and attached to SU WW Thick 100# card base and Done!  Loved the results.  I will be using this technique again.

I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's video above.

Heather Telford Winter Wonder Class

I signed up for Heather Telford's Winter Wonder on-line class and finished 2 cards using her Midnight Skies technique from her first lesson.  I LOVED how they turned out and I am sharing my 1st card with CAS Mix Up January Splatters Challenge.

 Sharing also with CAS Christmas Card January Silhouette Challenge

             

      My Midnight Sky (Northern Lights) Christmas Card

using silhouette stamped image, snow splatters, die cut and watercolors.

 

I was Thrilled with my Midnight Sky using Heather's 1st technique from her 1st lesson. I have never been successful at making night skies until I followed Heather's instructions.  She is an amazing teacher.  I highly recommend Heather's class,  which is still available.  

I used Arches Hot Press 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper and Distress Inks: Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot.

Stamped the Penny Black "Dressed in Snow" trees using Archival Jet Black ink and MISTI.  Then splattered snow with acrylic White Posca Pen.

I trimmed my finished image to 3 3/4" square and added CUTplorations Stitched Snow Hills Die for the snow bank.  Stamped Penny Black "Smile all season" sentiment and snowflakes.  Attached snowbank to main image.

I punched out a 1/4" circle for the moon and attached after my Midnight Sky was finished so I would know exactly where I wanted to place my moon.

Popped up Midnight Sky using craft foam and attached to 5 1/2" square SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!

I LOVED the results.

There was a learning curve...I made 3 backgrounds that I tossed because I was not following Heather's instructions closely enough.  But after my practice pieces my final Midnight skies turned out beautifully:-)

*****************

My 2nd card is not really CAS so I am not sharing on the challenges,  but I am sharing with my Blog friends:-)

I used the same Midnight Sky technique from Heather's online class,  but used different brighter Distress Inks: Chipped Sapphire,  Seedless Preserves, Antique Linen, Scattered Straw and Black Soot.

Used MISTI to stamp the Penny Black "Winter Moment" silhouette image using Archival Jet Black Ink.  Then splattered stars with White Posca pen acrylic paint. 

Added STAMPlorations Clear Sticker "Shine Bright" sentiment and 1/4" punched circle for the moon.  Attached to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!

I was just as pleased with this Midnight Sky as my 1st card:-)

Heather adds very detailed steps and many card samples for all three of her lessons. 

You will see a few more cards in the future using her techniques.

Thank you Heather for sharing your watercolor creativity!

Twofer January 2021 Flowers Challenge

I am so happy to be joining Dolly's January Twofer Challenge😄

Who could resist the "Flower" Challenge...not me!

The Rules

I made my 1st card,  which helped me decide how to design a 2nd card using a different occasion and the same die😀

Here is photo of my Twofer Cards.  I Loved the results!

My 1st card is a Die Cut Valentine for my 91 year old girlfriend!

You can see the SSS heart die at the bottom of the photo.

I chose an Alcohol Inks (reds and pinks) with tissue background from my stash.

Here is the link to a card I made using the Alcohol Ink with Tissue Paper Background, which includes the technique description.  A bit involved,  but if you make several you will have a nice stash for later use😀

I cut an A2 card front (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") out of SU Whisper White 100# CS.

Then I used my new SSS"Heart of Flowers" Die to die cut the image.  

Punched out pieces with toothpick.  Then attached alcohol ink background to the back of the die cut heart with scotch tape.

Added STAMPlorations Clear Sticker "Just Everyday Greetings" to a piece of SU 100# cards and attached to card front.  Stamped hearts from STAMPlorations "Big Dreamer" and outlined the hearts with Wink of Stella.

Added SU Rhinestones and Done!  So pretty when the light hits the die cut heart.

*********************

My 2nd card using a stencil I die cut out of an acrylic sheet using the Heart Die.

You can see the stencil at bottom of the photo.

I placed the stencil over a SU 100# card front and secured with masking tape. 

Then used make up brushes to add the Distress Oxide colors.  I used my brushes without adding more inks.  I wanted a soft look.  It was a fun way to use the ink that is always leftover on the brushes.

Next Removed stencil and placed piece in MISTI.  Stamped STAMPlorations "Brave One" using Versafine black ink and Heat EB with SU Clear EB Powder.

Then die cut image with Spellbinders "Rectangle Hemstitch" Die.

Popped up with craft foam and attached to SU Whisper White 100# card base.

Then attached SU Candy Dots to center of flowers and Done!

Loved the CAS stencil designed card!

So pleased with both cards for different occasions,  using the same die cut and very different designs.  Thank you Dolly for such a fun Twofer Challenge.

Love and Hugs and stay creative and safe!
