I had the retailes work very hard at this autumn's event in Falkenberg. They had 1,5 hours to finish three Christmas cards. My "students" managed to create the most beautiful cards and made me so proud! We used the new papers from Reprint, both from the Basic Collection and from the double sided designpapers - and an awful lot of new decorations of course!
Den fina klipparksbilden ramas in av en fanérdekoration som passar perfekt i storlek. Fanérramen på bilden är infärgad med vit Distress paint, men vi upptäckte även att det blir supersnyggt att embossa, Vi testade både vitt, patina och guldfärgat pulver och alla blev superläckra.
The sweet image from one of the cut out sheets is framed by a perfectly fitted chipboard frame. The frame on the image is painted with white Distress Paint, but we also quickly discovered that a little embossing powder really makes them gorgeous, we tried both white, gold and platinum embossing powders.
Nästa kort har en lite mer shabby stil, med rivna, infärgade kanter som rullas upp för att visa det underliggande röda notpappret.
The next card is more of "shabby" look, with torn and distressed edges, rolled up to reveal the red sheet of notes underneith.
På det sista kortet lekte vi loss med embossingpulver. Vi gjorde en trippel embossing på chipboardhjärtan, det förta lagret görs med en valfri färg "vanligt" embossingpulver. Ovanpå det la vi två lager klar UTEE, och direkt efter det sista lagret smält så tryckte vi dit en stämpel. Det blir en härlig glasliknande effekt!
For the third and final card, we really went crazy bananas with embossing powders. We did a "trippel embossing" on chipboard hearts, where the first layer is made using any colour of embossing powder. Then follows two layers of clear UTEE, and in the same moment as the final layer melts, we quickly pressed down a stamp in the hot melted UTEE. This gives you the most amazing glass like effect!
Här är några olika varianter av trippelembossing - har man väl börjat så är det svårt att sluta! :)
