Check out this easy Inked Embossing Folder Technique - and use it to make a dynamic card!

This is probably a current favorite technique with a lot of people. It's pretty easy to do, I've done it before with some backgrounds HERE and even some patterned paper HERE. I've had the Simon Hurley/Ranger Solar Pastes for almost a year and a half. I went to use them recently and found the pink one had dried up. There was very little left in the jar and I didn't cover it with Press and Seal Saran Wrap. My mistake. But pastes are meant to be used, and with so much air in the jar it's hard…

Hi everyone. You may have noticed that I haven't been posting much lately. I'm sick with a virus that seems to want to hang around. Hope to be back creating and posting on a regular basis soon. A quick post of more cards for July's Group of Seven technique - Colouring Dry Embossing. For the card above, I started with a piece of Audrey Blue card stock (SSS) --- absolutely LOVE this colour.

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by! It's time to share what the Group of Seven Cardmakers has been up to this month. This time we followed this video by Devid Roodinburg. Devid did a background using water and re-inkers. I was lazy and pulled a background colored with Brushos that was very bright. Then we inked the flat side of an embossing folder with pigment ink. This is where I had a problem. I was skeptical of putting ink on my embossing folder; especially black ink! But I gave it a…

I did a series of cards last Christmas season using a printmaking technique with acrylic paints and tried it out with embossing folders.

In conjunction with Art 'n Soul's newsletter article, "Technique of the Week" here is a short tutorial on how to dry emboss with your dies.

I still have some pads of patterned paper from my scrapbook days, which I no longer use. Some of it is so pretty, but I'm too busy having fun creating my own backgrounds to use this old paper. I recently posted a video about using my unsuccessfully inked backgrounds, reverse embossing them and covering the raised side with black ink. If you want to see that blog post or YouTube video, go to 11/21/23. I had a scrap piece of this paper, it has a mixed media look, a bit of script in on it…
