The Best Day Ever

It's Tammy Louise here today to show you how to dry emboss with you die cuts!  There's a NEW You tube tutorial to show you how to create your own beautiful embossing with any of the LDRS Creative dies! 

I used the Darling Squares die set and cut into some magnetic sheet.  I use magnetic sheet because it's just thick enough to make a great impression but not so thick that the dies won't cut through.  

After cutting the magnetic sheet flowers and vines, I embossed with the cuttlebug with the same plates I would if there was an embossing folder and the impressions were fantastic!

I simply cut small rectangles from the embossed paper, adhered them to some black stock and applied them to my vellum base card that was 7" x 5".  Leaving just a small section of see through area for added design to this elegant but CAS card.  The sentiment is from the "Wishing You" collection and the die cuts were from some black design vellum for added color.

INGREDIENTS:

Darling Squares Die Set

Wishing You sentiment

decorated vellum

MEDIUMS:

Memento Black

EMBELLISHMENTS: 

Recollections brad

Bride and Groom

Happy Wedding Season!   I'm coloring a whimsical little stamp illustrated by Crissy Armstrong in the Whimsy section of the 7kids College Fund store.  

I've fallen hard for the elegant and delightful card look of velum with silver Stazon ink.  The paper on the lower edge of the card gives it plenty of stability.  I cut three on an angle to go inside and outside of the front and back of the card.  The image was cut on an angle to give it some dimension and some sequins were added for the glitter effect.  Perfect for a summer wedding gift card!

Doing More With Your Dies

There are times when you grab that favorite die in order to fill in an empty spot on a card just behind the lovely little image you've spent an hour or two coloring.  However, there is really no end to what you can do when you've FLIPPED THE SWITCH on your creativity with a wonderful die cut.  Let me show you.

 I've created a video for the Little Darlings Rubber Stamps You Tube Tutorial site and invite you to visit to see first hand how.

 I've created a chipboard like element from 4 cuts of the Fluttered Tulip Bodice Die out of Kraft Paper.  I cut 6 of them however in order to pop out the tulip from them and I embossed them to use on the edges of the inside of the card.  Lastly, I used the Dew Drop Circle die to create a fully dimensional, embossed, distressed and glossed skirt to lavishly embellish the Tulip Bodice.  Watch how I do it all on YOU TUBE!

INGREDIENTS: 

Fluttered Tulip Bodice

Enchanted Wishes Vintage Affections

Dewdrop Circle Die

MEDIUMS: 

Ranger Distress Ink

EMBELLISHMENTS:

Glossy Accents

Black emboss powder

Emboss folder

Decorated Velum
