(NEW VIDEO) Lets talk about embossing!

Hello everybody :-)

In my newest Video (as always in very bad english and perfekt german Berlin-style) I made three, ok, four cards, and its all about embossing. On Sentiments, on Backgrounds, on Vellum... I gave my best to show a variation of different techniques.

The most of the times I only use white embossing powder, or put some clear-powder over a black stamped sentiment. So mostly only for Sentiments. But today I wanted do use some colored embossing powder again, or not only for sentiments but in the Background. And I wanted to try out a new (for me) technique

Next Friday is release again. Make sure you will not miss any sneaks on Instagram, Facebook and here on our blog. Have Fun :-)

message in a bottle

Hi there...

One thing I love about cardmaking is, no matter what the weather looks like where you live, you can craft yourself to a beautiful place...

I just wanted to use this pretty bottle again. It's one of my favorite sets by Create A Smile and I was in the mood for a beach themed card.

• stamp the bottle and the ferns on some watercolor paper with a black pigment ink, cover it with clear embossing powder and heat set it
• color your images with watercolor markers (I used Zigs) and a water brush
• fussy cut your colored stamps
• paint water on a watercolor paper by using a light blue or light turquoise color
• paint one stroke over the bottle. Be sure you know where your bottle will be in the water later, so you match the water on the bottle with your background
• die cut your watercolor panel and adhere it to a light brown or sand card base
• adhere the fern and the bottle on your card using foam tape
• finish up your project by stamping  your sentiment and gluing on some clear drops

[VIDEO] Stamped Backgrounds

Hi everybody and a happy new year :-)

I'm starting this year with a new video from me and I hope you'll like it. Its about background-stamping and its also a huge sneak to our new release coming Friday :-)

Sometimes, when I have no idea for a real science or a background, I just use stamps for creating my own background.
