Here's another example of dry embossing. The paper I used has a white core, when it is embossed & then sanded, this is the result. I cut the scalloped circles with a Cuttlebug die, then ran them through my machine using the "Swiss Dots" folder.
Here's another way to add texture to a project. I hand-cut the heart and flower, then ran them through my Cuttlebug. I used the folder "Swiss Dots" for the heart and "Spots and Dots" for the flower. I lightly ran a beige ink over the flower to pick up the raised image. Notice the pattern I chose for the flower matches the paper!
This is a card I taught over the summer in my technique class. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder "Bird Call" and sanded the image after I embossed it. The paper I used is a white wash color core by Core'dinations. The more you sand it, the darker the image. I love the subtle finish!
Here's a peek at the upcoming class I will be teaching at Yellowbird. The class is called IN BLOOM & will be four spring inspired cards using the new paper line "Origins" from BasicGrey. The date & time will be posted soon!
So I remembered these treat cups I bought from Stampin' Up! a few months ago and decided to bring them out and see what I could make with one. They coordinate exactly with the largest circle punch they sell. I used the new BasicGrey paper line "Origins" ( because I love it!) and put some loose pearls inside the cup before sealing it. I think it's so cute :)
This is another view, underneath the top flap. I used a slim heart punch and outlined it in black. The stamp is from a Hero Arts set & the shiny pink nailhead in the center is also by Mark Richard's.
