Glittered Split Embossing

Good morning!

Today I want to post a card I made using 2 embossing folders and lots of glitter.

I ran the top of the cardstock through a small dotted embossing folder.  Remove from the embossing folder and leave an area to stamp the image, then put the other end in a different embossing folder (I used a larger dotted folder) and run through the machine (I used a Cuttlebug) again.

I stamped and colored the image (from My Paper Moon stamps), then I put glitter on all the dots on the bottom of the cardstock and selected dots on the top of the card stock.
I used a green marker to draw a line to differentiate the areas.

Hope you give this technique a try...it's fun!

Have a stamp happy day...

Double Embossed Technique

Good morning!

Today I want to share the double embossed technique with you.

(Click image for larger view)

The card front is made on a single piece of cardstock. I put the top piece of cardstock in an embossing folder and ran through the Cuttlebug.  I turned the cardstock around and ran the bottom part through a different embossing folder (leaving some space in the middle to stamp).

I stamped the image 3 times on the cardstock and colored with markers.  Then I stamped the image 2 more times on a scrap of white cardstock, colored the centers and cut out. I adhered to the card using pop dots.

It's a very dimensional card, and you can use contrasting embossing folders and make it even more so.

Hope you have enjoyed.

Have a stamp happy day!

Stippling

Good morning!

Recently on one of the Yahoo Groups I belong to, someone mentioned stippling.  I had forgotten about that technique, and I love the look of it, And it just so happened that I had embossed a piece of white cardstock with a cuttlebug embossing folder that had gotten a smudge on it.  Not one to throw away a perfectly good piece of cardstock, I decided to stipple it to cover the smudge.

Here are the results:

After it was stippled, I used permanent markers to color in the raised parts.  I think it turned out very nicely, and I will be able to use it as a background for a card.  That's better than throwing it away because it had a small blue smudge on it.

In the next post I'll share some stippled envelopes.

Add some color to your world today...
