I used a selection of card making techniques as I created these projects on a recent Live.

Heat Embossing. embossing folders and watercolouring were all techniques used in these two cards featuring Stampin' Up products.

From embossed fancy folds, to heat embossing and water colouring, there was lots to see as I got creative with these two bundles that are featured on the Last Chance list. The stamps and dies will be available in the new catalogue, but not with their 10% discount.

A Selection of Card Making Techniques

An embossed fancy fold card using the Color & Contour Bundle from Stampin' Up!

This first card is a simple fold back Fresh Freesia Fancy Fold, but it has been embossed with the Stripes 3D embossing folder to give it texture. The scalloped rectangle topper is stamped with the flower from the Color and Contour stamp set with Pale Papaya petals. The background has ink blending and some stamped splatters, both in Fresh Freesia.

Finishing touches are provided by some silver thread and Elegant Faceted Gems

A heat embossed and water coloured card using the Butterfly Brilliance bundle from Stampin' Up!

This second card uses the large Butterfly Stamp to create this black heat embossed background on Shimmery White cardstock. The butterflies are then painted with inks – Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape, Granny apple Green and Coastal Cabana.

Some Mango Melody ink has also been splattered into the background.

The painted panel was attached to a Basic Black card base. The white embossed sentiment was die cut with a scalloped rectangle. Finally the finishing touches were some Black twine and Classic Matte dots. The addition of Black always makes the colours pop.

You can see both these cards being created on this recording of my Live.
