Stretch Your Stamps 2 Multi Coloured Embossing

Onto day five of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. For this card I used Embossing powders I got a very long time ago in tiny little vials from Spotlight. Unfortunately the red has a tendency to soak into cardstock but I don't have another red in that deep shade so I used it anyway lol. I used Spelbinder Gold Labels Four, Hemptique Black Twine, Herot Arts White Embossing Powder, Hampton Art Footlong Thank You stamps, a corner rounder and my Ebosser for die cutting.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Resist Part 2 Bonus

So the last card was resist and not wanting to waste the negative I decided to use it to make another card. Waste not want not lol. Along with some of the products I used on the last card I also added a Kaisercraft Stamp and some I Am Roses coloured with distress stain.

Design Team News and a Pirate Princess Card

Guess what! I am one of the new members of the Eclectic Ellapu Design team :) Wooohooooooo. This is my first design team and I am extremely excited :)

We have new challenges every Sunday. This weeks challenge is pink and black with a skull. I am on the purple team and we post every second week. So I didn't have to make a project for this week as we only just found out we were the lucky ones but I had an idea with some of my supplies and ran with it. The card is pretty basic but but I think it would be perfect for a pirate princess!

 All the dies I used on this card are from Lifestyle Crafts. Skull and Crossbones Punches, Nesting Squares and Nesting Squares (Rounded) and were cut with my Ebosser (love this machines sigh lol). I used Multi - Medium Matte to adhere the skull and crossbones and double sided tape under the pink and and small whites squares to add dimension.

Prickley Pear Funky Butterfly Cards

I have two cards to share today both in the same style.  One is coloured and one is black and white. Both use the Prickley Pear co-ordinating Butterfly die and stamp sets. I coloured the first one by using Faber-Castell Big Brush Markers on my Ranger craft mat and spritzing them with a little water to make pretty watercolours :) Both Cards have been stamped with Black Archival ink and have been cut to fit a standard card size envelope.

You achieve this look by first positioning your die on the folded edge of you card with a portion hanging off. It's best to use some low tack tape ( I use florist tape) to stop the die moving about. Position the card and die on the edge of you cutting plate so that only the portion you want cut is on the plate itself, use the fold as a guide line. I use more tape to hold it exactly in place. Run through your die cut machine ( I have a cuttlebug but it will work in any) and adhere your stamped butterfly using the opening as your guide and embellish to finish.

You can do this with any shaped die and once you get the hang of it it's a quick fun technique to make a card :) Let me know if you would like a video tutorial . . .
