More wonders from embossing folders

Hi there, for you who have missed the embossing product demo, I would like to share two cards made from some of the tricks shown during the session.

In the first card, I used the latest Spellbinder 3D M-Bossabilities Embossing Folder to create the deep beautiful basket weave design on this card.  I also created the metal embellishment by up-cycling the soda can.

Supplies

• Cardstock (Browns)
• Spellbinders 3D M-Bossabilities Basket Weave
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
• Prima Flowers (Divine Collection)
• Twine
• Aluminium Can

In the second card, I wanted to create something elegant and yet fun.  I used partial embossing technique to emboss the top part and bottom with the cute hearts while leaving an empty strip in the middle for the message.

The jalopy is the fuzzy cut up of the embossed image on the kitchen aluminium foil and distressed with Martha Stewart Acrylic paint.

Supplies:

• Sizzix Texture Trades Embossing Folders 3PK - Artful Muse Set
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
• Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Black Acrylic Paint
• Stamp
• Embossing Powder Black Sparkle
• Ribbons

Hope these cards give you some inspiration on using the embossing folders and recycling some household materials.  

XOXO

More dry embossing idea

Hi, Mee Foon here again.  Today, I have a multi-occasion card made using the dry embossing technique.
I embossed the tracing paper and made it into a pocket by sewing it with a ribbon to the card stock    The embossed part has the beautiful white line.  The insert is left blank and wording can be added to match the occasion later.

I love the semi-transparent effect of the tracing paper.  

Supplies:

1) Sizzix Embossing Folder Paisley Palooza (657396)

2) Brown Cardstock and tracing Paper

3) KaiserCraft "Sweetheart" paper from the Secret Admirer Collection

4) Martha Stewart Large "Wild Flowers" Punch

5) We R Memory Keepers Crop-a-dile 1/4" and Scallop Cut corner Punches

6) Glossy Accents

8) Crystals

Come and join me this Saturday (16 March) 2-4pm at Papier for more ideas on using the dry embossing technique.   See you then!

Hi, today I am sharing a fun packed album with lots of movement and pop-up pages.  It is made from the MME Good Day Sunshine girl collection.  Even it is a girl collection, the colour and images are very flexible and I am using it to make an album to capture some of the fun stuffs Nida's boy enjoyed.

Here are so of the highlights from the album.

Once the "FUN with Friends" is flipped open, the houses popped up.

 I have also incorporated some water scene where the boat can be pulled for some added movement in the album.      

Also, some interesting carnival scene with more surprises.

Key Supplies:

• My Mind's Eye Good Day Sunshine
• My Mind's Eye On the Sunnly Side (for those little bikes)
• Distress Ink (Spun Sugar, Tumble Grass)
• Distress Markers (Worn Lipstick, Barn Door, Peeled Paint, Broken China)

Power of Dry Embossing technique

Hi, Mee Foon here again.  Happy Chinese New Year to fellow friends who celebrate this festive season and  an amazing holiday for everyone.

With Valentine around the corner, I made a card on the "LOVE" theme.  It is a quick and easy card and I must give the credits to my cute embossing folder.   As the background is filled with the embossed hearts, I kept the decoration to minimal.   It never cease to amaze me how one roll through the big shot machine can create such beautiful and deep embossed images with the Sizzix embossing folder.

Inside the card, I also embossed one side of the writing space with a notebook lines.   However, I have to admit my photography skill did unjustly to the image.  Do come to Papier to check out the beautiful notebook lines in person.

Supplies:

• Sizzix Valentine Set #3 (656508)
• Sizzix Collage & Notebook set (656647)
• White and Pink (Pearlized) Cardstock
• Felt
• Metal Tricket
• Ribbon

Stay tuned for more creation using the dry embossing technique.  Also look out for upcoming demo sessions on using paints (by our amazing DT Nida) and embossing technique (by yours truly).

Happy Scrapping....

Hello...   HAPPY 2013 to everyone.  Isn't it wonderful that Spring is coming.  I guess not much of difference here in Malaysia except maybe slightly drier than December (LOL...)  What a beautiful time for wedding....

When I saw this beautiful Webster’s Pages paper in my Design Team kit, I immediately called my friend for some wedding photos.  But when the photo came, I realized I had an "interesting" task ahead of me.  The photos were taken back in 2002 and most of the dresses were dated to that “period”.  After flipping through photos, I decided to crop a few photo with the bride’s face only - perfectly fitting for her timeless beauty.  Here is my take of the “2013” version of their wedding.
