Stunning Embossed Foil Card

I've been experimenting with applying foil to card stock and then embossing it.  I like the results.  I put together this card one of the pieces.

I used pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors fastened to cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. before embossing it.  Then I applied Archival Jet Black ink over the embossed.  Over that I put clear embossing powder and heat embossed.  That seals the ink plus the heat adds a texture to foil.  I've tried embossing with foiled papers and they often crack but this doesn't do that.

I posted all the directions on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  You can find it HERE.

It's a technique that can be used with other embossing folders.  I find the 3D folders give the best results.

Warm Winter Wishes Card

 Hello Friends,

When I found, or should I say rediscovered, a pretty Penny Black printed card of snowy landscape, I was inspired to make this card. It's winter here in Minnesota but so far without much snow.

I wanted the image to be focal point so I kept background subtle with white embossed design.  It adds interest yet doesn't take away from main image.  I've added a stamped and die cut verse that's simple and small and fits with the design.  All the details with step out photos are on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today....click HERE to go to it.

Make Your Heart Sing Tag

 Today, I've made a vintage looking tag to share.  I really struggled with coming up with an idea for a project this time.  So I started sorting through bits and pieces for past projects, things I couldn't quite throw away.  I found some hearts and a verse that would work with it and this tag evolved...

I used an easy technique to apply torn pieces of old book page to start the background on the tag.  Simply apply   to tag and then lay pieces of book page on it leaving gaps between pieces.  I used Distress Glaze to sprinkle into the exposed adhesive areas and heat embossed with heat tool.  From there, I applied several Distress ink colors rubbed onto the tag.  I also stamped foliage and script with permanent black ink.

Love and Happiness Card with Heart Dangles

 Hello Friends!

Another project for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!  

This pretty card features touches of metallic foil on a stamped and heat embossed background.  After warming the embossing, I placed foil on it and it stuck to the melted embossing powder.  I again heated it after foil was stuck which melted foil into the embossed design.  It's a bit challenging to do to get the right amount of heat to just re-melt the powder but not too much to make it too soft.  The dangle hearts are made from 3D Foam Hearts stuck together, covered with embossing powder, heated to melt it and then re-heated to add foil.  It's a great technique to used foil that has been used for other projects and still has areas of color.  I like the randomness of the foil on the background.

Embossed Panel Card with Lined Envelope

 

Today, I'm sharing a card with embossed panel and coordinating lined envelope. The card features photo corners as a design element.  Both are easy to make!

Paper for the embossed panel was first inked with Distress Peacock Feathers ink direct to paper, allowed to dry and then embossed.  

Then Distress Oxide Uncharted Mariner ink was rubbed over the raised embossed design to add contrast color.  Envelope liner is made from printer paper also inked direct to paper with Distress Peacock Feathers ink and allowed to dry.

Foiled Collage Canvas

I created a collage of patterned papers and metallic foil to add a frame around a stamped verse for this Foiled Collage Canvas.

 The process to make the collage is quite easy.  Simply apply Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12 to a 6 x 12 inch piece of cardstock, peel liner at one end and begin placing bits of torn papers on adhesive with space left between each one.  Continue until entire paper is covered.  Then place pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foils Pastel Colors over collage and press foil into spaces between papers.  Repeat until all spaces are covered with pink foil. I cut the collage to fit a 4 x 6 canvas board and cut an opening for the verse.  Find more details on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog - click here. I share all the directions to complete this Foiled Collage Canvas.

Friendship Watercolor Flowers Card

Today, I posted this card to Scrapbook Adhesives byby 3L Blog.  

I used flowers that I painted with watercolors and then added doodle details. They are one of my go-to things iwhen I need a card.  I learned the basics for making them in Fodder School and then put my own twist on them....of course! 

I used pieces from my stash of leftover scraps under the flowers, embossed white cardstock and pink  painted cardstock.

Watercolor Flowers Friend Card

Cards with my own watercolor flowers have become my favorite cards to make!  As long as I have flowers painted and ready in my collage fodder notebook, these cards are easy to make.  

If you follow me on Instagram, I sometimes post photos of these flowers in process.  I start by painted simple shapes to form a flower shape.  Once it's dry, I add outlines and details with a black Uni-Ball Signo pen and a white one.  That's when the flowers gain their personality!  Thanks to @TiffanySimplySharpe and @WillaWanders for Fodder School class where I learned a few techniques to get started making flowers! 

The oval white background was left over from another project. I found a piece of pink paper to coordinate with my flowers and stamped a grid pattern on it with white ink. The flowers are fastened in place with 3D Foam Squares.  I fussy cut the verse after stamping with black ink.  It's from Penny Black. It's also fastened with 3D Foam Squares.  I tucked a pearl cotton bow under the flowers.

Amazing Paper Grace December Die of the Month Blog Hop

Sponsored: As a designer for Amazing Paper Grace, I receive dies to create projects.   I'm also a designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and receive product to use for projects.

Every now and again you need easy, right?  We've become huge fans of slip-in cards.  They are cards that are cut partially inlaid so that you can simply slip a decorative panel into place and you're done.  This months Die of the Month is called Rose and Filigree Duo Slip in Card.

 Your panel can be decorative, textured or simply a sentiment.  The partial inlay can be positioned just where you want it on your card from one side to another or midway.  It can even be used to make a gate fold card or an actual belly band.

My favorite part of this December Die of the Month is that the band can be set wherever I want it within the rectangle.  I also like that there's a separate outer cutting die for each band design.  That makes it so easy to cut a contrast background to fit behind.  I especially like the rose band.  It made me think of stained glass windows when I saw it.  I've used it to create that look on my second project.

On the card shown above, I've cut the band slightly towards lower edge of rectangle and used it horizontally on my card.  I cut gray solid piece to fit behind it as well as pearlescent white paper to make contrast edges.  My photo doesn't' show that very well.  To make border, I simply cut the background piece n half horizontally and fastened the pieces with a narrow reveal along the edges.  I used Hemstitch Rectangles to cut my insert.  It fits so well!  I stamped LOVE at the top and script at the bottom with gray ink.  I added pearls and a heart gem to the band.

Rose and Filigree Duo Slip In Card

Project One:

This card uses the Die of the Month as it's designed to cut a band across a rectangle.  It's a beautiful element that requires only an insert slid behind the band.  I've added stamped elements to my insert.

Project Two:  

For my second card, I chose to cut the band to fit a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card.  The band is separate and cut at each end to fit the card.  

First, I cut the the rose design band from black card stock with Adhesive Sheets applied on back side to make it easy to fasten to the background piece.  I cut a solid band from white card stock using the outer die only.  I placed the rose die on it and put it through my die cut machine with an embossing sandwich.  I used a thinner plate so the embossing wouldn't cut the paper  That allowed me to see the design so I could color the roses and leaves with Distress markers.  I love the stained glass look!

  

Along each edge of the band is a gold border and black one.  To get those, I cut a solid band from black and one from gold.  I cut each one in half so I could fasten the edges beyond the band on each side.  The band is fastened over music paper with gold strips along the fold edge.  I added a verse popped up with 3D Foam Squares. 

This Die of the Month is so easy to used for a band card with insert!  But, it's also easy to use the bands separately by cutting them at each end.

I hope you've enjoyed my projects.......and taken some inspiration to use on your own projects!
