Card Samples

Couldn’t resist.. I mean HONESTLY.. how could I???

OK so I had to post this card.. I mean, it is WAY too beautiful to pass up no?

Created by the wonderful and talented NICKABELLA.  I just love this technique and wanted to share especially cuz it is SOOO quick and easy!  I also wanted to explain that Nicky did NOT make this technique up.. we saw it somewhere.. probably on someone’s blog or splitcoast and thought it was a PHENOM technique!

Step 1: Nicky SHMEARED lulu lavender ink onto the cuttlebug folder.. always remember.. A neat trick I learned from DONNA is that the side of the paper you would like embossed should be placed under the CUTTLEBUG black logo on the embossing folder..  (how BRILLIANT IS THAT?)

Cut your white paper to size to fit in the inked embossing folder and close

[photopress image=”justanotestep4.jpg”]

put it through your CUTTLEBUG or BIG SHOT… is this the CUTEST MACHINE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN??? it is my ULTIMATE FAVE… it has BLING and it is a POWERHOUSE.. Have I mentioned it is INCREDIBLE??

then you run it through an VOILA!!

IS IT NOT STUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNINNNNNNNNNNNNNG?

we used the MEMENTO dye based ink  which works wonders and used my 2 FAVORITE punches that are now in the what’s new section… LOOOVE them  small flower power and the medium retro flower punch! and end it with a little GLITTAH DOT!  Mwah!  YUMMALISH!

 Hope you love it!

oh, and if you click on the magnifying glass icon under the card, you will see all pieces that went into the card

 mwah to da sistahs who missed me already

    great technique have used it many times
    it’s very effective and even better if you coat in embossing powder and heat great textures

    I love this technique!!!! I have tried it using different inks & no two look the same. I have smeared ink directly from the pad or used a brayer & it always looks great.
