Andrea's Scraps

Posts Tagged ‘heat embossing’

I met up with the ATC Oasis Club this past weekend and we had a blast chatting while having lunch and trading cards. I managed to create May, June and July’s Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) and we’ll trade them in our next gathering in September.

I thought you might like to see them! I’ll be working on August and September to be current at the next meeting, so those will be coming within the month or so.

May ATC Supplies:
BasicGrey stamps
Ranger embossing ink
P K Glitz embossing powder
Croc paper from Marco’s Paper

June ATC Supplies:
Sizzix dies
Black craft foam
P K Glitz WonderFilm and Glitter
Reminisce stickers

July ATC Supplies:
The Stamps of Life stamp
Tsukineko ink
Bottle caps and fabric

For this card, I used a combination of Ippity and Unity stamps. The little whispy angel is the Unity image and the saying is from one of our newer Ippity sets. The embossed metal is from one of the TENsecond Studio molds and running it through the Big Shot Express. The metal is Barn Red also from TENseconds. The top of the embossed design is sanded, leaving the silver base color metal to shine through while maintaining the pretty red color in the embossed features.

Supplies:
Ippity Stamps, IPK-122 Delightful Little Things
Unity Stamps, May 2010 KOTM
TENseconds Studio mold and metal
P K Glitz embossing powder
Spellbinders die
Ranger and Tsukineko inks

Here’s a selection of cards that I’ve posted on my other blog using Ippity Stamps that I thought you may like to see here. I’ve been incorporating more colored metal embellishments on my cards using the TENseconds Studio products combined with Sizzix and Cuttlebug embossing folders. I demo this technique and many others at the Stampfest shows in Florida for Marco’s Paper. There is so much that can be done with the metal and molds that I really want to incorporate it more into my scrapping and stamping. Stay tuned!

Mojo Monday Sketch #147

I was inspired tonight by the My Mind’s Eye blog. There’s a sketch challenge going on and I hope this qualifies. The theme was “hope” and to use their sketch as a starting point. I tend to use sketches often and keep them pretty similar to the sketch. I do deviate occasionally of course, but stay true to the sketch for the most part.

The Lush line was the perfect base for this page. The flowers are from my “Maple Syrup” friend up North and came at the perfect time. It was a wonderful surprise to get an email from the lobby that I had a flower delivery. Thank you my friend.
