This month’s theme is embossing… powder, folders & paste! Oh my!
You’re Soda-Lightful
Oh boy – do I have a fun project to share today!
This month’s project features the new online exclusive bundle, Simply Sparkling, paired with the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper. You guys – this new bundle is SO stinkin’ cute! And, I cannot get enough of this paper. Holiday or not – it’s perfect for so many occasions!
How fun is this combo?
Tear & Tape
This month’s theme is embossing. I decided to share a couple of ways to use embossing powder without Versamark Ink. Don’t you love glossy accents on a project? I do. Some of my favorite DSP packs are embossed specialty papers.
I used Tear & Tape to make the striped DSP embossed. I cut a 3″ x 4″ piece, large enough for my can die, and then placed a strip of Tear & Tape on every other stripe. I die cut my can and then removed my release tape to reveal the sticky before adding Clear Embossing powder and heat setting it.
Adhesive Sheets
Embossed die cuts are the cutest! I wanted my background to have little bit of shine so I stamped the fruit images from the set in Memento Black ink and colored them with my Stampin’ Blends.
Once I had my pieces colored, I layered them all onto a 1/2 sheet of the Stampin’ Up! Adhesive sheet, face down and then trimmed away any extra sticky sections. You don’t want to run sticky edges through your Emboss & Cut Machine.
You can see through the second release paper for die placement – super easy!
Embossing
Once your stickers are cut out, remove the release paper and apply your Clear Embossing powder. Heat set and you have cute, glossy die cuts!
Simply Sparkling
I stamped the bubble images in Flirty Flamingo ink onto scratch paper then second generation stamped it onto my Flirty Flamingo cardstock. Then I stamped my sentiment in Memento Black ink before adhering my die cut pieces randomly. I trimmed off any parts that hunger over the edge and then adhered the layer onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock before gluing it to my Flirty Flamingo card base.
I die cut the accent can pieces from the Holographic Trio Specialty Paper and assembled my can. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to add it to my card front. Tinsel Gems were the perfect accent to create bubbles coming from my can of soda.
So – what do you think? Will you give embossing accents a try?
