New Product Alert!

Hi Crafters,

If you haven't heard about the new embossing paste from Stampin' Up!, this post will reveal all!  I have longed for this product and Stampin' Up! delivered again.  Along with the new embossing paste, four new masks have been released.  Each pattern is very usable and has multiple uses.

I created a card blank from Powder Pink cardstock and then went about adding my paste to a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I masked a section for the sentiment and applied the paste with a plastic palette knife.  It's just a simple as spreading butter on a slice of bread!  The masks must be submerged in cold water as soon as you have finished applying your design.  If the paste hardens on the mask, the design will be compromised.  

I inked my sentiment in Archival Black and stamped directly over the top of the embossing paste.  It worked a treat!  I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the image in Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist.  I can't get enough of that colour!

Do let me know if you plan to have a go at embossing paste.  Did you know you can colour the paste with any of Stampin' Up! reinkers.  Perfectly co-ordinated paste to match any card.

Happy crafting,

New Best Friend!

Hi Crafters,

I have a different style of card today using the new Eclectic Layers thinlits which co-ordinates with the Oh So Eclectic stamp set.  The projects below feature in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. 

The thinlits are slightly different to the normal dies offered by Stampin' Up! - some cut and some emboss.  This allows for extra texture and interest in any project.  My card blank is made from Whisper White cardstock and measures 4.25" x 6.25".  I used one of the new masks and inked through with Versamark and then heat embossed in clear powder.  I added a strip of the new Pick a Pattern washi tape and then started creating my die cuts.  The Eclectic Layers thinlits contains a die that creates a lovely geometric pattern left into the card but I used my paper snips to cut away the design and added the die cut as a border.  My sentiment was from the Lovely Words thinlits set and I cut three to layer up and give extra dimension.

I hope my card has inspired you to have a go at heat embossing - it is so much fun and takes no time at all.  Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new embossing technique.

Happy crafting,

Rachel x
