If you can't tell already, heat embossing is one of my favorite techniques. You can get so many different looks with a little embossing powder and a heat tool. Here is the next video in my series of tutorials on heat embossing. Hope you enjoy.
Please note: I had to split the tutorial into two parts due to the 10-minute time limit on videos posted to youtube.com. So be sure to watch both parts.
Supplies* used in video:
Glassy Glaze Enamel
Tempting Turquoise Craft Stampin' Pad
VersaMark
Baroque Motifs stamp set
Heat Tool
Powder Pal (tray)
Butterfly shape cut from matboard using Beautiful Butterflies Sizzix Bigz Die

Hello Everyone. Here's the latest in my series on heat embossing techniques. In this video tutorial I demonstrate how to create the look of beautiful hand-painted ceramic tiles. This technique is done with Glassy Glaze, a clear thick embossing powder from Stampin' Up!. It is super easy to do and there are so many projects you can use it for.
Please note: I had to split the tutorial into two parts due to the 10-minute time limit on videos posted to youtube.com. So be sure to watch both parts.

.......Stay tuned for another video tutorial on heat embossing techniques coming soon.
I have been having fun playing with rubber stamps and bleach today. Here are a few of the results.
I started with a piece of Stampin'Up! Ruby Red card stock (far left); stamped it with a diluted solution of bleach (middle); and then blended on some Distress Inks (far right.) The stamp is a background stamp from the current SU! catalog called Gratuitous Graffitti. The middle piece of card stock (stamped with bleach) is cool enough to use as is, but look how cool it looks to blend some inks onto it. It totally creates a different "feel."
Here I started with Elegant Eggplant card stock and a long retired stamp from Judikins.
Here is bleach only stamped on a piece of Not Quite Navy card stock. I love the "pinky-purpley" color that the card stock turned.
And here is a collection of Basic Black card stock stamped with bleach and then inked. I can't wait to turn these all into some awesome cards. A Few Tips for Stamping with Beach:
Be sure to rinse the bleach solution thoroughly and immediately from your stamps to prevent them from drying out.
Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands (and also to keep them from smelling like bleach for the next couple of days.)
A sponge saturated with a solution of bleach water works well for an "ink pad". Use a plastic tray or styrofoam meat tray to hold the sponge.
Work in a well-ventilated area.
P.S. I'll be back soon with another video tutorial on heat embossing.
Here is the second episode of my series on heat embossing. This video tutorial is on a technique know as Emboss Resist. Hope you enjoy.

Recently I have had a few emails and some students in my classes asking me about how to heat emboss and what supplies are need. So I decided to post a series of video tutorials on the subject that will hopefully, answer some of those questions. This first video covers the basics; a brief description of supplies and a quick demonstration of the technique.
If you are new to stamping, you are going to love learning this technique. It's simple to do, but it adds a beautiful element to your projects. And if you are a seasoned stamper, well, I hope to share some techniques and ideas that you may not be familiar with yet, in my upcoming videos on this subject. So let's get started......
(note: The video is in two parts because of the 10 minute time limit on youtube.com. The 2 videos together are about 11 minutes in length)
I received this beautiful card in a swap at this past summer's SU! convention. It was created by Gail Yanker. It uses the stamp set Gifts of Christmas; Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, & Brushed Gold cardstock; VersaMark ink; clear and gold embossing powder.
A couple more card samples from the video. I have had both of these in my card stash for so long I don't even remember who I received it from. I believe the stamp sets are now retired, but cute ideas that can be adapted.
This is another card I received in a swap at this year's convention. This card was created by Brenda Witt. It uses the Dasher and A Cardinal Christmas stamp sets; real red and shimmery white card stock; Bride designer series paper; white craft ink; white embossing powder; white organza ribbon; and the scallop edge craft punch.
And finally. I created this card quite some time ago. For all the details please refer to my April 4, 2008 post.
Stay tuned. My next video on the subject will cover the Emboss Resist Technique.
After I posted photos of the paper doll sets I made using the new Build-a-Bear Workshop dies (see Sept. 1st post) I got so many questions about how to make them. So I put together this video which gives a few tips on how to get the best results.
