Something New to Try


Good Morning! I managed to sneak in the TLC today from SCS before I head out to spend the morning with a friend. The Technique today is to 'double emboss'. You pass your cardstock through any embossing folder (I used Perfect Polka Dots) and then you brayer versamark ink over the raised parts and put embossing powder over the top. I used White EP. Looks cool, doesn't it! Bev Gerard has a video if you'd like to see how to do it. You can find it linked on today's TLC on SCS.

Here's a close up of the birthday cakes!

Stamps : Birthday Bakery
Cardstock : Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette, Watercolour Paper
Ink : StazOn
Accessories : Big Shot, Polka Dot EF, White EP, Pinking Hearts Border Punch, Aquapainter & WWCrayons, Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon

Bendy Fold Card

I wanted to show you another 'bendy fold' card! It was one of the Club projects on Friday. I added some DSP to the layers which makes it a lot more sturdy and popped out the birds and cages from 'Aviary'. I really like the way this turned out. There are more bendy fold cards from Understand Blue (Lydia), Jenn Nahrstadt and my good friends Patty Bombyk and Jill Salminen if you're interested in seeing more ~ it's a very versatile pattern. If you make one, be sure to let me know so I can link to your blog!




Recipe
Stamps : Aviary, Something to Celebrate
Cardstock : Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Sunny Garden DSP
Ink : Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Regal Rose, Perfect Plum
Accessories : Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, Scallop Oval and Oval Punches, Bendy Fold Card Tutorial!
