Metallics Blog Hop

Hey Y'all!

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborators' Metallics Blog Hop. We are using metallic elements in our projects today. This was somewhat of a challenge for me because I tend to lean more to a vintage look, but I love the elegant look of foils as well.

The focal point of my card is a piece of Silver Foil die cut with the tree die from the Aspen Tree dies. I placed a piece of the Snowflake Specialty Vellum behind it and adhered to my card front. My sentiment is heat embossed in silver onto a piece of Basic White cropped with a die from Seasonal Labels.

I also heat embossed the edges of this leaf die cut. To achieve this look, drag the edges of the the paper lightly through the Versamark ink pad, then sprinkle with embossing powder and heat with your heat tool.

And, of course, I had to use some Metallic Edge Ribbon. I colored it with the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blend.

I can't wait to see all of the other projects, I know you will love them as well! Be sure to hop through to see everyone's creations!

Technique Tuesday-Heat Embossing Techniques

Hey Y'all!

It's another Technique Tuesday with the Crafty Collaborators, and we are sharing projects with one of my favorite techniques-heat embossing!

I don't know what you would call this technique, Faux Wax Seal maybe? I die cut a label, then applied several layers of gold embossing powder, heat embossing each layer. I think I counted seven times. The last time, I had my stamp ready and pressed it into the still warm gold embossing.

You can use this technique with sentiment stamps or images like I did with the pinecone image.

Thanks for stopping by today! Now it's time to see everyone else's projects!

NOT Simple Stamping! With Sale-a-Bration Tea Time Framelits

Hey Ya'll!
Have you heard the news? It's Sale-a-Bration time at Stampin' Up! And I have this beautiful card to show you today using some Sale-a-bration products and some new products from the Occasions Catalog.

The Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (that's a mouthful) is so beautiful, and adds so much texture to the card. The teapot is from a Sale-a-bration item, the Tea Time Framelit Dies, and you can get them for FREE with a $100 purchase.

The Lovely Lipstick foil paper is also a Sale-a-Bration item, and it is free with a $50 purchase. I used the edgelit die from the Seasonal Layers thinlets to get the scalloped edge on my card. The Stitched Labels Framelits are a staple in my craft room.

Do you see the shine in that greeting? That is achieved by first stamping in Lovely Lipstick, then stamping in Versamark ink and heat embossing with clear embossing powder. Heat embossing in any color you want! You can thank me later😊 The flowers were stamped in Memento and colored with Stampin’ Blends, then die cut. They have given you 3 framelits for the leaves and 2 for the rosebuds so that you don’t have to make as many passes through the Bigshot...such a great deal!
Tips and Tricks:

Soft Sea Foam Card Base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4, Soft Sea Foam embossed layer 4-3/8 x 5-5/8, All my Love DSP 5-3/8 x 1
If you are embossing and cutting the same piece, cut first, then emboss or when you run it through the BigShot the second time, it will flatten out your embossing
Heat emboss in any color ink! Just stamp the image first in the ink color, then rest amp with versamark and sprinkle with clear embossing powder

If you are interested in purchasing any of the products used, please click on the pictures below to go to my online store. Use the current host code found in the right column. Simple Stamping can be fun, but I truly love to create these special cards that pack such a WOW factor.
