I began with a white scallop edge card. I used a gold piece of Mirri card for the die I introduced it to. I don't know the name or make of the die, I was gifted this and others from a friend who was decluttering. I added this with 3d foam where I could add it, to a piece of red Hunkydory card. I finally added a few red jewels and a die cut greeting.
I used a tall slimline card, with a black card mat. I have had three 3D Embossing folders for well over a year, none ever used. I have been unsure on what plates to use in my electric machine and hadn't a clue or the courage to try to create the right shim for my greatly loved and well used Cuttlebug. With patience and determination I slowly built up to the right shim, in the Cuttlebug and succeeded in producing an embossed Lisa Horton Slimline Collection 3D Embossing Folder - Ditsy Florals using gold Mirri card. The final additions to the card were black crystal gem stones and a Happy die cut and a Just my Type - Birthday sentiment both from Hunkydory. Have fun and I hope you enjoy using your embossing powders or embossing folders.
N. B. for Newbies.
Wet Embossing techniques, isn't actually a true description, because nothing gets liquid wise 'Wet'. this method is stamping an image with a sticky pad, e.g. Versamark. Adding embossing powder, which sticks to the 'wet' stamped image. Excess powder is tipped off, The design is dried using a heat tool.
Dry embossing is adding paper, card or similar into an embossing folder, which is ran through an embossing machine, either by hand or in an electric machine. This will emboss or deboss the design onto the inserted paper of choice.
I used a white 6" sq. card, with a silver Mirri mat. I added a bright pink card from Hunkydory. Using a rectangle die, a small square, twice in pale pink, one in silver Mirri. dies and a larger sq. die. Within these squares I stamped images from Creative Stamping magazine #134 Retail Therapy. I added colour with various pink shades of Promarker alcohol pens. I hope you enjoy the challenge.
I made a white 6" sq. card. I used black card throughout to back the layering papers. The papers were from an old paper pad, from my stash. I cut up a page to add the Puppy and Fetch ephemera. The puppy is from a set of Puppies from Dreamees crafts. I added a pretty flower, large sparkly glittery gems and a simple sentiment.
For my card I was inspired by a card in the Hobby Art gallery. I began with a 6" sq. card. I stamped in the four corners #save the bees. I used a 4.5 sq. of white card, using stamps from a Hobby Art Bee Friendly set of stamps I decorated the white card. The bee I stamped separately, coloured with Promarkers, fussy cut and added to the card with 3d foam. I added this to a black layer. Enjoy making a card for the Bees Day. Best wishes.
