On-Line Card Class: Heat Wave Day 2 Part 2

I am learning so much from this class.  Today I am going for the plaid look using embossing and stripes.  It took awhile to get into the groove of switching directions, pouncing before using VersaMark and trying to stamp a straight line (in the correct order).  Yikes, I'll only show you the last ones because I threw my horrible, miss-combobulated messes away!

On-Line Card Class Heat Wave: Day 2

Wow, love this class on embossing techniques!  I am also getting a head start on my Christmas Cards by trying the techniques with them.  I really like all the shimmer and shine on the cards.  In Day 2 we learned how to add details on our cards with embossing, it really makes a wonderful difference!  Below are just two of the cards I made following Jennifer McGuire's class video.  I will be adding more as I continue with Day 2 and 3 with more examples and my own spin on the techniques.  As always thanks for stopping by.

On Line Card Class: Heat Wave Day 1 Continued

I am loving this On-Line Card Class that is all about embossing.  I've tried embossing on acetate before but it always shrunk and warped when I added heat.  I recently bought some heat resistant acetate and boy what a difference it makes.  The first card I made was using Altenew Persian Motifs stamp.  I had some trouble adding the white card-stock frame, it wrinkled and I couldn't get it to smooth out.  Sooooo I had to try again, this time making a Christmas Card.  Maybe some more practice and I'll have the technique conquered!  As always, thanks for stopping by.

2nd Try: Christmas Tree

Heat Wave On Line Card Class Day 1

Today's class was all about heat embossing using various powders, adhesive, mediums and techniques.  It was also about using the right tools and preparing the surface before you begin to reduce static cling.  Below is my card using Versa Mark, copper embossing powder and Wplus9 stamps.  Hope you like what you see, I still need some practice prepping the surface so I don't get the spattering of embossing powder.  Thanks for stopping by.
