Rowhouse Greetings | Happy by Altenew

Just So Happy for You featuring Altenew

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings3 Comments

I’m back today with my latest project for the Altenew Educator Certification Program to complete the Impressive Heat Embossing Class.

I usually make a big mess when I add embossing powder to my cards. I often forget to use an anti-static tool before stamping the embossing ink so I usually end up with stray bits of embossing powder all over my image. I’ve been experimenting more and more with using clear embossing powder over colored ink to get the crisp and clean results that I prefer. The added benefit is that it extends the use of my growing collection of inks.

Rowhouse Greetings | Persian Motifs by Altenew

For this card, I used a scallop die to cut a piece of 80# Neenah card stock. I placed the shaped card stock in my Misti and arranged several stamps from the Persian Motifs stamp set along the edge. I stamped the image several times using Delicata Ink in Golden Glitz, covered the stamped image with clear embossing powder, and heat set the powder. Delicata is one of my favorite inks and the result is a crisp outline when combined with heat embossing. Any stray bits of embossing powder disappear on the white background so I can look like an embossing pro instead of the usual klutz that I am with colored embossing powder.

Rowhouse Greetings | Persian Motifs by Altenew

I cut the sentiment three times from 80# Neenah card stock, stacking and gluing two of the pieces together. For the third, I blended the die cut with Altenew Crisp Die Ink. Then I stamped the sentiment with my embossing ink pad and covered it with clear embossing powder. After heat setting the sentiment, I glued it to the previous stack, offsetting it slightly to add dimension. I stamped the remaining sentiments in black ink and glued the die cut sentiment in place. It still felt like something was missing so I added a few colored dew drops to complete my card.

So that’s all from me for now. What’s on your craft table today?

Gill Friends and Beach Buds by My Favorite Things

Published on by Rowhouse GreetingsLeave a comment

Good morning friends! I recently finished up another series of classes at Photo Scraps where we created three cards featuring the Gill Friends and Beach Buds stamp sets from My Favorite Things. Supplies are listed below. Lots of good fun as we explored creating a box card as well as stenciling backgrounds and ink blending with Distress Oxides.

Mark your calendars! We just set the dates for my September classes at Photo Scraps. Once again, there will be two dates available: Sunday, September 16th and Thursday, September 20th. I haven’t decided what we’ll be doing yet – maybe some Newton’s Nook or perhaps I’ll pull some House Mouse stamps out of my stash. Who knows?

Stay tuned!
