Using Embossing Powder To Make Embossing Skins

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I have a really fun technique using MBoss Embossing Powders to make paper thin backgrounds, AKA Embossing Skins.

In todays video tutorial I am sharing how I made some backgrounds using embossing powders with an iron, you can also use your heat gun. You will also need some parchment paper/baking paper. This is a quick technique, but so addicting!

The best part, you can use any embossing powder, including the ones that don’t emboss very well any more. This is a great technique to use those particular powders up so they don’t go to waste!

I have lots of tips and things to share in the video, check it out below.

Happy Easter, a Turnabout Stamping Project

By LeeAnn McKinney

Hi there friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with a fun Turnabout Stamping Project anyone can do. This is for all levels. With this stamp set you will start with a single piece of cardstock cut to 6″ x 6″ set up your stamp, ink up the full stamp in one color, turn your paper 1 turn to the right or left, and then ink in 2nd color, turn 1 turn again same direction as before and ink in next color, then one final turn in same direction, ink up again. Once dry cut panel to 4″ x 5.25″, apply to a card base that is 4.25 x 5.5″, I prefer top folding for this. Add your sentiment, some jewels and your project is complete.
