Crafty Collaborations - Technique Tuesday - Dry Embossing

 

The Crafty Collaborations team is comprised of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators
from around the world. Each month, we participate in several collaborative projects including blog hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

 Hi my name is Shaz - I live in Queensland, Australia
I have been a Stampin' Up! Demo for 10yrs now
and I love sharing different techniques to try when cardmaking.
By sharing our crafting knowledge it allows someone to create
something that they may never have thought to try.

This month we are showcasing "Dry Embossing"
Dry Embossing is a cardmaking technique where you create
a raised design or textured patterns without the use of ink or heat.
For my Bee Mine card I raised up my DSP designer series paper with dimensionals

and then I added texture on these raised up hearts with an embossing folder
which I ran through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.

I chose a product that us as Demonstrators get the opportunity to order
and create with this product before it is actually launched to the everyone else.
I am attending OnStage@Home on Saturday so we got to order this product collection
to use for the projects we are creating on Saturday.
It is an upcoming product in the Jan - April Mini released in Jan 2024.
It is called Bee Mine Suite.

Firstly I chose a piece of DSP to punch out the 2 different sized hearts and
the wonderful thing about Stampin' Up! DSP is that it is 2 sided.
So I chose to punch out the hearts using the white side with the bees
and the petal pink side with sweet sorbet hearts.
I added all the hearts with dimensionals to another piece of DSP with the bee hive on it.
Then I ran it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine inside the
Basic 3D Embossing Folder that has stars shapes all over it.
This then added a raised edge to our raised shapes.

I added another layer of floral DSP behind that bee hive DSP to give it another layer.
I have an obsession about not wasting any DSP so I cut the inside out of the floral DSP
so that I could use it on another card... check here later for a card made with it.
Then I added all those layers to a Daffodil Delight Cardstock Base.

 

Next I created the bees with the stamp and punch bundle.
The stamp is called Bee My Valentine, it has all the stamped images to create the bee.
Firstly punch out a template so that you can see which way to stamp everything out
so that it punches it all at once. See my example.

Now I created 2 bees one for the front and then one to decorate the inside of the card.
Just use glue to adhere the 2 heart wings to the body and I fussy cut the antennae
and added that to the bee as well.

Next I stamped the insert panel to write on in the middle of the card. 
I like to create a similar image to what is on the front of the card on the inside too.
As well as decorating the envelope.

Card Base - Daffodil Delight - 4 1/8" x 5 7/8" or 10.5cm x 14.85cm
Layer 1 - Sweet Sorbet Floral DSP - 4"" x 5 3/4" or 10.3cm x 14.5cm
Layer 2 - Petal Pink Bee Hive DSP - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" or 10cm x 14.3cm
Layers 3 - Punched hearts from DSP - Small and Large hearts punch
Layer 4 - Basic White Cardstock scrap to create the bees
Card Insert - Basic White Cardstock - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

I hope you liked my card, please pop over to the rest of the Blog Hop

Scrapbooking Global - Sept 21 2023 - Mode Of Transport

 Sneak Peak

 

Welcome to Sept 21st Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop, which is held monthly.

You can join us over Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up!  FB group.

We have over 6000 members, we exclusively use Stampin' Up! products

We have Designs team member and members of the group create a layout

for the specific theme.

This month I chose the theme Mode of Transport, 

as I knew I was away holidaying when this goes LIVE.

Hence why there are No photos on my layout.

 

My name is Sharon (Shaz) and I have been scrapbooking since 2002, 

So a long time....these days I don't scrap as much as I would like too.

 

 My layout was created exclusively with DSP - Masterfully Made 12 x 12 paper

It is designed to look like torn paper, so I tore some of the papers to create

the look of a landscape from the plane windows.

Grass, Gardens, Landscape and then Mountains and Clouds.

I used lots of dies to create this layout, some are bundles and some are stand alone dies. Brilliant Background, Decked Rectangles and Waves dies for my clouds!!! Being away at my friend's house I had to be creative to use what she owns.

 AND the Alphabest Stamp and co-ordinating punch for my title

I want to show you how you can get depth and dimension by layering dies.  On the clouds     (which by the way are wave foam) I have layered 3 of the foam on top of eachother with glue then I blended over them to create dimensions.

I created my aeroplane out of vellum that has text printed on it...It was FUN to make!!!!

 

 

 Sorry there are no photos, I just ran out of time to print them.

I hope you LIKED my layout, it came together very easily.

 Up next is Cheryl with her layout.

 

 I want to say a HUGE THANKS to you who visit my blog and comment it really means a lot to me.  I really do appreciate you leaving me some Lovin' in the form of a comment.

Cheers Shaz

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - Sketch-Sharni - Aug 17 2023

 

 

Sneak Peak

 

 

Welcome to August 17 Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - Sketch
This month our Creative Design Team Member Sharni Haines LOVES
working with Sketches to create her scrapbooking layouts.
What FABULOUS inspiration that we have to work with.


If you are just joining us for the first time, this group was started by few of us
who wanted somewhere to share our Scrapbooking designs using Stampin' Up! products
with the rest of the world through a FB Group.
Our group quickly grew in popularity with over 6.600 members and there is so much inspiration.
 We are group of Demonstrators and LOVERS of Stampin' Up! product. 
Anyone can join they just must answer a few questions first.
Check out the group - Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up!

 

 

Sharni Haines I cannot wait to see your design with this sketch.

 

 

So the brief of this month's hop is to create a layout with the above Sketch.

My mind was going wild with ideas, BUT I chose to use a product in the catalogue

that could easily be overlooked while browsing the pages filled with inspiration.

Memories & More on page 134.

 Who knew that Stampin' Up! also has products that allow you to create Mini Albums?

Everything that you need are in this Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Card pack. 

I been wanting to create some Memories and More pages since I got this pack.

These were the very first order of products from the Annual Catalogue.

So today it is the first time I played with them in the variety pack 6" x 8" Photo Pocket Pages.


I have chosen to use the co-ordinating Memories & More Cards and Envelopes 

to create my layout of this sketch.  Now it does make it somewhat harder as you only

a 6" x 8" page to cover.

So I cut one of the Pink cards down to fit in the pocket page then completely cut 

off the second card just so I had the pink part and adhered them together.

This allowed me a whole page to play with the Memories & More Cards and adhesive

sticker sheets to create my layout.

Now I know that my Grand Daughter's 1st Birthday is coming up and I wanted to create

an Album for her just for this occasion.

With a little bit of fiddling and fussing I created this layout...

Hope that you LOVED my layout, here is the next Scrapbooking Blog hop participant

Next is Elaine Wheeler Wright

 

 

 

Until next month, Thanks for joining us on the Hop.
Please leave us some LOVIN' in the form of a comment
we would really appreciate your words to encourage us.
