Emboss It!

Hi friends and welcome to a fun technique day over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration...EMBOSSING!  There are so many different ways to emboss...heat embossing, dry embossing, embossing folders...so MANY ways!

 

I chose to use one of my favorite embossing folders and some heat embossing on this card. I used the Core'dinations cardstock in the embossing folder and sanded it down in places...I {HEART} this paper, in every single color!  It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but the star and the "a" with the little banners are all heat embossed to give the images a little more of a shiny effect than ink. 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Coastal Cabana, Coastal Cabana Core'dinations, Whisper White, Basic Black, Fresh Prints DSP

Ink ~ Coastal Cabana, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Perfect Pennants

Other Supplies ~ Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim, Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Alphabet Press Embossing Folder, Black Embossing Powder, Banner Framelits, Rhinestone Basics, Black Sharpie

Be sure to check out all of the other embossing techniques used by the other awesome SSInk Design Team too!

 

Happy Stamping!



Heavy Metal Birthday

The girls over at SSInkspiration are a creating with metallics today!  Between the fun foil papers, embossing powders and metallic ink pads, you can create some pretty awesome projects!

I decided to use all of the silver metallic products I had to create today's card...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Regals Collection DSP

Ink ~ Night of Navy, Silver Metallic Encore, Versa Mark

Stamp Set ~ Perfect Pennants

Other Supplies ~ Alphabet Press Embossing Folder, Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Chevron Embossing Folder, Whisper White Bakers Twine, Banners Framelits, Silver Embossing Powder

 

To create the metallic design on my banners, I inked up my Chevron Embossing folder with the Silver Metallic ink and placed the Night of Navy banners inside. I pressed down the outside of the embossing folder to stamp the image on the banners.  I used the same technique for the Smoky Slate Arrow banners as well, but instead of just stamping the image on the banners, I actually ran them through the Big Shot to add a little more texture to the card.

 

I hope I've INKspired you to CREATE something today!

 

Now head on over to SSInk  to see all of the other great metallic creations from our design team!  

 

Happy Stamping!
