Here I embossed the satin ribbon from Stampin'Up!'s new Occasions Mini catalog by placing it in the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder and running it through the Big Shot die cutting machine. You need to use spray starch to hold the detail but I am not sure if you use it before or after running it through. I do not have any starch (I don't iron, hee hee ) but I will buy some to experiment with this technique. I have pics on my blog using a couple of different colors.
This is a great stamp set for grandparents or new baby! These cards use a lot of different product, but I was using up some of my previous card kits. I just tweaked and changed the stamp set I used. It is hard to see, but I cut the square doily in half, using either…
Here is a pic of Fran Kennedy, Debi Kaufman (my sister), and myself meeting up the Sunday night before convention started. We roomed together last year as strangers and now we are forever friends! What a time we had! We managed to eat breakfast together most mornings, too. Thanks for the bacon, Fran!
Aren't these new products fun, fun, fun? Here I used the Sweet Stack Stamp set (#138948 $17 page 66) on the cake slice that was cut out with the Cutie Pie Thinlits (#138273 $35 page 171). I stamped with Chocolate Chip on Whisper White. My little card base is 2" x 1.75", layered with the Cherry…
We have baptism tomorrow for our 21st grandchild. I used Baja Breeze and Whisper White cardstock, and Not Quite Navy ink. The stamp set is the Special Blessings stamp set and is retired. This is one of my "hold on forever" stamp sets! This card is very simple and quick to make. After I die…
You can use this bundle to die cut your images for layering or to die cut your image to show cardstock or designer series paper underneath like my flower is done here. The beautiful Floral Boutique designer series paper is from page 172 of the Stampin'Up! annual catalog, and the bundle is from the new…
This is my first time to use the new Ampersand Embossing folder. I embossed Gumball Green Co'ordinations cardstock, then sanded it to "pop" the ampersand. I also made an envelope to fit using the Envelope Punch board. I notched the ends of the "thank you" with the hexagon punch. Finished it off with white Baker's…
Absolutely gorgeous, Lynn !!!! I love the picture with you and hubby…..so cute 🙂 !!
How fun is that!!!! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for posting your blog on Stampin’ Connection.
Hmm.. how long does it hold it’s shape? ALSO just wondering.. have you tried embossing with color so that you would have polka dot ribbon?
I wouldn’t trust it to hold its shape unless you used starch, which I haven’t tried yet. But I think it would look cool on a scrapbook page. Not sure what you mean about embossing with color. This was just through the folder.
I have done this using hair spray, I did it in Nov. ran it through the crimper and so far it is still crimped, I’ll have to try spray starch.
I think You do a great job. Thanks
