2021 FALL | WINTER COFFEE LOVERS BLOG HOP - #10

    

This is my next post in the  2021 FALL | WINTER COFFEE LOVERS BLOG HOP!

 I recently came across the Let's Squash it Embossing Challenge

The current challenge is to Use any Embossing folder and stencilling.

In the two cards I am sharing in this post, I used white card in a Tim Holtz Rays (Sissix) embossing folder. I then used the CAS-ual Fridays stencil By the Beans with Brown Bark Hero Hues ink to add the coffee bean design.

I trimmed these to fit teal card blanks and added more ink around the edges.

I then used Stamplorations (Super Sponsor) dies to embellish the cards.

This card also has a a stamped sentiment using a Joy Clair Designs (Super Sponsor) stamp.

I will add these to the  2021 FALL | WINTER COFFEE LOVERS BLOG HOP!

and Let's Squash it Challenge #14

Happy Crafting!

Embossing folders.

 I just came across the Let's Squash it Embossing Challenge

The current challenge is to Double Emboss. My favourite technique with an embossing folder is to smear Distress Ink (or Oxide) across the folder and then run it through the Big Shot - Another run through can then be made after spritzing the folder with water. This is the sort of background that is produced:

Anyway I thought I would have a go at Double Embossing - using first a Darice Flamingo embossing folder which I recently picked up from a clearance bin for a dollar.

I then added embossing powders in a few layers of pink and two colours of green. This is my first attempt - I think I might try with an embossing pen next time rather than a pad next time.

I used a white card blank, a layer of black card and the trimmed image. I added black soot Distress Ink around the image.

I will add this to the Let's Squash It! link

Happy Crafting!
