Thinking of You at Die Cuttin' Divas ~ It's an Embossing Challenge

Hello Everyone!

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Embossing ~

~ Dry or Heat ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I wanted to have both types of embossing on my project today, so I had to think of how to incorporate dry and heat. It did not take long to decide and come up with an idea. I also knew I wanted to use my oxide inks with white embossing powder since they always looks great together. The key would be to find the right stamp.

The flower is an oldie by Inkadinkadoo. I prefer to use my older stamps with VersaMark ink just in case there is any residue.  I heat embossed the flower on white cardstock with white embossing powder. Then I used three shades of Tim Holtz oxides: fossilized amber, spiced marmalade, and abandoned coral to add some color. 

The yellow card stock was first cut with the stitched rectangle using my Cuttlebug (C plate) and then the circle was cut out from the center. Lastly, the cardstock was placed in the the swiss dots embossing folder and it went through the Cuttlebug (B plate) creating raised dots.

  The stamped sentiment (included with a magazine subscription) was heat embossed on vellum. As long as you move the heat gun back and forth, the vellum will not warp.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Embossing" challenge. Our sponsor this week is Leslie from our very our DCD Design Team and it is a CTMH stamp set.

Stay Creative,

Paper Play Sketches #23

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by.  I am sharing the new challenge at Paper Play Sketches a little later than the rest of the Design Team. I had school yesterday and started sneezing throughout the entire day. By the end of the day I was wiped and ready to rest. This morning I went to Joanns for the Pre-Black Friday sale (had to get my Fiskars blades for 60% off) and stopped for some medicine on the way home.  I am finally feeling a little better after a few doses.

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

Love all the layers!

I used My Favorite Things ~ Written in Watercolor stamps and heat embossed the sentiment on vellum. I used small Glue Dots under the letters to hide the adhesive. The pattern paper is by Doodlebug Designs. I cut the small present by Too Cute by Jessica on my Cameo.

Other Supplies:

white and kraft card stock

teal gem

Caribbean Twine by The Twinery

Other Challenges:

Seize the Birthday ~ Birthday with Presents

All Things Grow with Project of Day #8

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am heading to Jacksonville today for the Honors Program orientation with my daughter. We will be at UNF all day and again tomorrow. I am hoping it is a beneficial trip since it will be cutting into my crafting time. A friend told me to take a small bag of supplies just in case there is a little spare time. Sounds good to me!

 Now I am sharing Project of the Day #8. 

I heat embossed this stamped design on a piece of vellum with white embossing powder. Then I added the butterfly and sentiment after seeing how the vellum reacted to the heat. I was pleased with how it turned out.

Light blue crinkle ribbon with a double bow and yellow button were added last.

Don't forget to stop by and see what Sharon and Rachelle have created.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
