Shaded Summer Stampin' Up!

 Simple Stamping using Shaded Summer Stamp Set

Still a wet week with no end to the rain in sight. We are never happy with the weather are we.

I decided to change up simple stamping by using embossing powders. They turned out simple and elegent.


 Supplies

Very Vanilla for base card, front and middle 

Gold Shimmer Vellum

Simply Elegant DSP (designer serise paper)

Stitched with Whimsy Dies

Simply Elegant Trim gold or silver

Silver and gold embossing powder

VersaMark stamp pad

Glue

Sticky dots, heat gun and Powder pad.                                                       

Instructions

Cut Very Vanilla to 21cm x 14.8 and fold in half remember bernish your fold.

Cut Gold Shimmer Vellum to 10cm x 14.3cm

Glue the middle of the vellum and add sticky dots to the corners attach to the front of the card base.

Cut Very Vanilla card front to 9cm x 13.3cm.

Emboss your card front using the Stitched with Whimsy Dies 2nd largest run through the Emboss and Cut Machine.

Now for the powder embossing nutralise the card with your powder pad first

Stamp your image and sentiment using the versamark ink pad (its normally sticky)

Next step is to cover with your gold embossing powder and shake off the excess.

Using your heat gun heat up your powder until it changes to a solid form keep watching as it will burn if you hold it to long.

Do the same thing for the middle of card stock its cut 10cm x 14.3cm.

Very last step is to tie your trim and attach with a sticky dot.
