Father’s Day Card Using Memento and Fireworks! Craft Sprays

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am sharing how I blended my Fireworks! Sprays with Memento Ink pads to create some custom colors. 

In todays video tutorial I am use some Fireworks! Pear Tart, Bamboo Leaves and London Fog sprays mixed with Memento inks in greens and blues to create a Father’s Day card. I find any type of leaf foliage works really well for masculine cards and this one is no exception. I added some splatter with remaining blues and London Fog Fireworks! and also used some irRESISTible spray in Wedding Dress to complete the look. The video below has all the details, check it out below.

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.
