Video Supplies:

• Card stock
• Double-sided sticky sheets

• Embossing Folder
• Embossing machine

Technique Instructions:

Following the video above ...

• Cut card stock to size

• Remove cover sheet and place gilding flakes over top

Here is correct Video Link to Embossed Gilding Flakes by Technique Junkies.

Note:  I used double stick tape instead of double-sided sticky sheet.

I used my finger to burnish and Archival Jet Black Ink to lightly swipe over top

of dry embossed trees and had NO stickiness:-)

Also to prevent gilding flakes from flying all over I placed cut card stock in a plastic

rectangular container.  The video was very helpful!

My shiny gold gilded flakes dry embossed Christmas Card!

Loved the Results:-)

My Supplies:

Stamps: Penny Black Jolly Snippets sentiment.

Paper: SU Basic White for cut card stock and cardbase and Black Mirror

Card by Tonic for framing.

Ink: Archival Jet Black for sentiment and lightly covered dry embossed trees.

Accessories: MB stitched rectangle die.  Sizzix #3D "Christmas Tree Pattern", 

which I used for the 1st time! 

Nuvo Gold Gilding Flakes. 3M Scotch Double Stick Tape.

Craft Foam to pop up framed main image.

Very easy technique using few supplies that created beautiful results:-)

I will be using the technique again...soon!

Thank you Susan for a wonderful technique.  I plan to use more Gilding Flakes using

more of the techniques shown in the very helpful video:-)

Love and Hugs

Debossed Inky Resist Technique by the Group of 7 Cardmakers

Group of 7 Cardmakers March Technique

Debossed Inky Resist Technique

Here is my finished card using The Debossed Inky Resist Video that the GO7 provided!

I highly recommend that you watch the video several times and go to the GO7 Girls

sample cards for more awesome technique samples.

I used Altenew Pine Forest 3D Folder for my Debossed image, then heat embossed

with WOW Opaque Bright White EB powder.

Next Smooshed the Debossed Inky Resist 3D Folder

Image trees with Faded Jeans, Rustic Wilderness, and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks

 and then the same Distress Oxide inks following the video directions.

I did not like the smooshed inks above the trees,  but was happy with the inks below

the trees.  I trimmed down the trees A2 image.

Luckily I had smooshed the leftover inks on my glass mat onto Mixed Media paper.

I used one piece to add a background to my trimmed Debossed Inky Resist trees.

Then I was happy with the results.

Stamped the SSS "Messages for Everyone" sentiment Get Well Soon onto a scrap of

the background then attached using Connect Glue.

Attached the main images to SU Basic White cardbase and Done!

Now that I have one background created using this artsy Mixed Media

background technique...I can't wait to make more

with different Dry EB Folders:-)

Thank you for visiting and do try this cool technique!!

Love and Hugs,

Supplies:

Stamps: SSS "Messages for Everyone".

Sharing with Group of Seven Cardmakers Blog...

I am here for you!

I am joining a few challenges using a never before used 

Simon Says Stamp "Layered Chickadee Die".

I die cut my cute chickadee bird out of The Essential Craft Papers by

Craft Consortium "Ink Drops-Ocean" 6" x 6" paper pad.

After die cutting the bird pieces I used Connect Glue with Fine Tip Bottle to add

the 4 bird pieces and then die cut the bird with Basic Black CS to add more

dimension.  So fun and so cute:-)

I set the bird aside and then die cut the backgrounds using 

SSS Postage Stamp Edge Frames,

and Spellbinders Hemstitch Squares using same craft paper.

Then die cut Postage Stamp Edge Frames that I cut out of white 100#

 Basic White CS and added to back of frames.  

 I attached the bird and then created a 2nd square in different color tones from

the same craft paper.  I added the die cut bird and attached the squares to

SU Basic White CS.  Then added the stamped SSS "Messages for Everyday"

sentiment using Archival Jet Black ink and Done!

I am loving the sweet bird and will be using more often:-)

Enjoy and Happy Stamping

Supplies:

Stamps: SSS Messages for Everyday sentiment.

2023 Valentine for Denny

2023 Valentine for Denny made with Love💖

I  used a Spellbinder Square Hemstitch Die to cut the alcohol ink on Yupo

paper background that I found in my stash.

Then die cut the SSS Stacked Hearts from Yupo so the whites would match.

I attached the pretty background to Yupo using double stick tape.

Then the challenge, attaching the die cut hearts over the background using 

Gina K Connect Glue.  The hearts were not sticking!  I finally realized I needed

to weigh down the die cut Stacked Hearts,  which I did with my large SU 

acrylic block for several minutes.  Worked great:-)

My loving sentiment, etc is on the inside of the card😍

I added a Yupo layer over SU Basic White card base so all my white layers

matched perfectly!  

I  received a beautiful potted orchid from Denny that we get to enjoy for a couple

of months as it is FULL of many buds and a few blooms😄

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day too💘

Love and Hugs..

Supplies:

Stamps: None

Paper: Yupo

Inks: Ranger Alcohol Inks..red and pink tones.

Accessories: SSS Stacked Hearts Die.  Gina K Connect Glue.  Fine Tip Bottle.  SU Clear Large Acrylic Block., Spellbinder Curved Tweezers.

Using Group of Seven Cardmakers Heat Embossed Background Technique

Group of Seven Cardmakers Blog Creative Heat Embossed Backgrounds!

 

After seeing all the beautiful cards by the seven creative cardmakers using the

Heat Embossed Backgrounds Techniques I knew I had to play😊

I loved how my card turned out and hope you do too!

I used Strathmore Mixed Media paper for my background.

Scrunched up a piece of cling wrap and dabbed onto Versamark Ink pad and

then dabbed ink onto MM paper.

Then used "Ranger Distress EB Glaze" Broken China and Cracked Pistachio and

heat embossed.  I used my new to me SSS Hot Hands Red tool to hold

my paper securely with out burning my fingers:-)  (cool tool)

 I then die cut the heat embossed background with 

SSS "Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die".

I attached 5 layers of Memory Box "Dragonfly Stems Left Corner" die

using A Must Have Gina K Designs "Fine Tip Bottle" (3 in a set).

Why 5 layers?  I tried 2 white then 1 die cut PP then 1 Alcohol Ink layer then

the 5th Strathmore MM Black dragonfly corner before I was satisfied...LOL!

Next I stamped and heat embossed the SSS "Messages for Everybody" sentiment.

Popped up the sentiment and main image with craft foam.

Attached to MM paper with glue and attached to SU Basic White CS

and Done!

I was very happy with the easy Heat Embossed Background Technique😊

I liked how the black dragonflies and sentiment popped too.

Thank you Lolly for creating the blog and for all seven of you

very creative experienced cardmaker friends!!

I am looking forward to your March background techniques too😊
