Embossing with ink

Embossing with Ink

I love to emboss papers. But sometimes I want them to have another color so they match better with the colors that I used in my coloring.

So I take my Big Shot by Sizzix and an embossing folder

I take the inkpad I want and start coloring the side with the increased pattern and rub the inkpad softly over the pattern. Make sure to to add pressure otherwise you color the underground as well.

Then place the paper on the normal way in the embossing folder…

 And run the folder through the machine. Make sure to do it slow and give the ink the time to get into the paper. You might run the embossing folder several times through the machine without lifting it out of it’s place!

         

  

After you take the mal out you can clean it the way you clean your embossing folder the way you clean your stamps.

You can do the same technique, but then work on the imprinted side of the embossing folder!

Here are both results. You can also use other dies to cut shapes from this papers.

Have fun and make sure to show your results with this technique!

Background stamping

Background stamping Sky

Today's Tutorial is about creating a stamped background sky behing your image.

I choose the beautiful image Swan Love from Shelly's Images.

You can find this lovely image HERE

Print and color the image.

Print the image again on plain white paper.

 Cut out the second printed image.

Mask the colored image with the plain one.

At www.shellysimages.com you find a free image of clouds.

Print it out on firm cardstock and cut it out.

Place the clouds over the masked image and work the edges with the stamping ink.

Replace the cloud and ink again. You can use various colors to create a cloudy sky.

Here is the result after inking the background.

I used some yellow to create a sunrise feeling.

Save the cut out mask for the next time!

I made a loopy lace gift box with the image in it.

This is a different kind of wedding card.

Hope you all like this technique and give it a try and show us at the CDAC Group!

Thanks for looking and leaving a lovely comment.

How to make your own flower

How to make your own flower.

Hi, Welcome back to my blog here. Today I want to show you how to make you own flowers for a card or any other project.


I have to be honest and tell you that it is a long time ago that I ran into an website where this technique was shown and were I found the template.


So let's get started with this tutorial.


Things you need:


* the template and cut the petal 12 times
* scissors
* stampin ink or pencils or markers
* little spoon
* soft embossing mat
* color pencil or copic marker
* glue
* pen
* if you want you can use glimmermist


~~~~~






Cut out this template 12 times

~

Ink or color 6 petals in a color of choice and the other 6 in an other color.

~

Cut or punch two small circles and ink them as well.

~

Take the embossing mat and the spoon and the petals 

~

Put the spoon over the petal like shown on the photo

~

Then push softly with both hands so the petal will fold a little into shape.

~

put a drop of glue on the paper background and take two petals and dip the ends in the gluedrop

~

Then glue them apposite to each other on the little circle

~

Do the same with the 4 other petals of the same color. And repeat that with the 6 petals of the other color.

Let the flowers dry well.

~

Add small lines on the petals with a pencil or a copic marker.

~

Take the pen and put the flower on the embossing mat and push lighly in the middle of both flowers

~

Glue both flowers onto each other with some 3d glue dots and add a pearl or something else in the middle of the flower on top.

And if you desire... spray with glimmer mist.

Here is the result of the tutorial.

I hope you like it and leave me a lovely comment on my work

Thanks

  Tutorial for a Milk Gift Pack

   

Print the image to cardstock and cut and score it according 
to the lines at the template.

Click on the image to get it in the right size and print it to cardstock.

     Cut Design paper a bit smaller than the squares and 

triangles and glue them on the cardstock.

Close the bottom as a box with glue or tape and fold the top

 like the pack of milk.

Close the top with a paperclip or other kind of clip so 

you can add a little present in it.

Make sure not to glue the top of the pack close otherwise you can’t add anything in it to use the Milk Pack as a little present.

I will show the finished Milk Pack HERE on coming Friday June 4th 2010

Because I'm going to play with this one a bit more this week.
