Live Well

Cutting two designer series paper panels at the same time, makes this technique a cinch. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Oh My Goodies

   Hello Life

Paper:

   Basic Black A-2

   Stacked With Love DSP 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 (2)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scraps

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Starburst 

Accessories:

   Deco Labels Collection Framelits

   1/4" Black Grosgrain Ribbon 5-1/2"

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut two sheets of designer series paper together to be able to alternate colors. Each pattern is to face up so that every other triangle is switched between panels. I cut from the center of the panel outward to the edge, keeping the corners intact.

I then placed the triangles on the Basic White panel as shown above, creating the starburst effect. I adhered each piece to the Basic White panel. Trim off any excess.

Next, I added some black ribbon to hide the seam of the pattern paper and the Basic White panel.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment, using the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.

Next, I attached the sentiment using dimensionals.

Lastly, I stamped the heart doodle on the bottom of the card and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

White Christmas

I was challenged to create an all-white card, which I did. Yet, I found that I needed to do something to get the embossed tree images noticed. So, I added some glitter to the trees. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   VersaMark

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder

   Heat & Stick Powder

   Iridescent Glass Glitter

   Heat Tool

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed a Basic White panel, using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. I passed it through the embossing machine twice to make sure I had an excellent impression. If you are afraid of your paper tearing, you may want to spray it with a tad of water to give it some flexibility.

I then took the VersaMark pad and gently patted the raised tree images.

Next, I added the heat & stick powder to the card front. I shook off the excess powder and put it back into its container.

I then took a soft brush and carefully brushed between the trees to make sure there was no heat & stick powder.

Next, I applied some heat to the panel, using my heat tool. You only want to get it hot enough to melt the powder. This is when it becomes like glue. If you heat it too much, then nothing will stick to it. 

I then applied the iridescent glitter to the trees. I shook off the excess and put it back in its container. Again, I took the soft brush and brushed off any excess between the trees. It is not perfect, but it is close enough.

Next, I adhered the panel to the card front.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
