Make It Monday #131: Striped Embossing

Last weeks Make it Monday was not for me, but this one is! Its called "striped embossing" and its a brain child of the brilliant Betsy Veldman. Check it out - its really cool!




You mask off part of the sentiment - or where ever you want your embossed stripes with post it notes, then sprinkle it with embossing powder, move the post it notes, repeat, until you have covered everything with embossing powder - heat it up and that is it. The only problem is that some of the embossing powder gets stuck where the sticky part of the post it note was....You kind of can see that. I did not like that part - I like my cards to be meticulous.....

I am also linking this card up with Dynamic Duos and Simons Says - Emboss it


Materials: Papertrey Cutting Garden, Papertrey Think Big Favorites

Very pretty Nelia! I was wondering about the powders getting mixed up at the post-it line. Betsy made it look SO easy. Looks great anyway...wouldn't have known it wasn't intentional.

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
