Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a fun to make, retirement card using both stencils and stamps. I am finding myself in love with stencils these days, and you will see more coming from me in the upcoming months.
Greetings! It’s Alison Heikkila. I recently watched a video from Jennifer McGuire that was all about inking embossing folders to create beautiful inky and dimensional cards easily. I wanted to give her techniques a try using inks from Imagine. I also decided that this would be a great opportunity to make a Christmas card. You can check out my YouTube video below.
Skill Level: Beginner Time to Complete: 15 minutes
Pyrography is the art of wood burning and it has a very distinctive look. This stamping technique has a very similar look. Be sure to use watercolor card or this technique will likely not work. You will also need a stamping platform, water mister and a water reactive dye ink like VersaMagic, and a non-water reactive pigment ink, like VersaFine Clair. Let’s get into it.
Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am sharing a super quick technique using VersaFine Clair.
In todays video tutorial I am sharing how I use VersaFine Clair in the color Chianti and some cream card stock with a 3D Embossing folder to create a quick, but elegant card. In the video I also share cleaning up the embossing folder so you have minimal to no staining. All this in just over 3 minutes! Check it out below.
Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). In today’s video I’m showing two techniques for creating background panels that you can either cut down or die cut from! One technique features the ever-so-popular ink “smooshing” and the other features creating monoprinting with a gel plate! These techniques are fast and easy to make multiples of if you ever need to make the same card en mass. I made a set of 6 Artist Trading Cards (ATC) using one panel for the background and the monoprint for die-cutting.
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.
