CTC Sunday Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we are CASEing an Embossing project from either Catalogue. It could be embossing with embossing powder or embossing with embossing folders, you choose. You may have hopped over from Michelle’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post. 

When I started out paper crafting I can remember the first time a friend showed me embossing with embossing powder. Wow!!! I was hooked, it was so magical watching the powder turn all shiny when you heated it. It’s still one of my favourite techniques and you may have noticed most of my cards have some embossing on them.

I’ve used the pink and white striped “Thank You” card on page 71 of the Annual Catalogue, as my inspiration.

It’s a simple card with a DSP background and heat embossing on vellum. I’ve made my version of this card a Christmas card.

I’ve started with a Thick Basic White card base with a layer of Boughs of Holly DSP. Unlike the sample card, I’ve cut my DSP a little smaller to show a nice white border. Next I’ve cut a piece of Vellum card stock and I’ve Gold Heat Embossed the large flower from the Merriest Moments stamp set, directly onto the vellum.

I’ve also Heat Embossed three smaller flowers on a separate piece of vellum then die cut them with the matching Merriest Frames Dies. I’ve layered the smaller flower on top of the bigger flowers then I’ve stamped three Real Red flower centres. The sentiment is White heat embossed on Old Olive card stock. I’ve also added a few For Everything Sequins for some extra bling.

Mr Marvi was chilling out on his mat which made for the perfect photo opportunity. I’m not sure what he thinks of my card this week but looking at his ears, maybe he didn’t like it.

I’m last on the hop this week. If you didn’t start at the beginning of the hop just click on the “Next” button and it will take you back to the start and Julia’s wonderful creation.
