Look Hoo's 50

I love watching youtube tutorials on crafting, card making, card folding, new tricks or hot tips. I have really learned alot buy watching them. I highly recommend taking a look at some of the them.

While I was watching them the other day I came across a tutuorial regarding embosing folders and a really hot tip that I want to share with all you. I will list the youtube link below to the actual tutuorial.

But basically embossing a piece of paper is not the only thing you can do with the embossing folders. If you take your ink pad and ink the inside of your embossing folder then place a piece of paper inside of it and run it thru your embossing machine the ink will transfer onto the paper. Depending on which side you ink will depend if the embossed item will be inked or the flat areas will be linked.

I love this tip and will be using it alot. below is a card I did using this technique. I think it turned out pretty cute.

ok here is the link I told you I would add:

My First Birthday Banner

  So I thought it would be a great surprise to have a birthday banner up and ready for my friend Alana at work. But I had never made a banner to hang on a wall before. The only banner's I have made were in my scrapbooks. And this was going to be on a bigger scale.

  I found the banner on Plantin School Book Cricut Cartridge. The ribbon the was placed on each banner was made also from Plantin School Book Cricut Cartridge, but I wanted to have some dimension on the banner so I took the white ribbon I cut and ran it thru my Sizzix Boutique machine using on of my sizzix embossing folders. The letters were also cut form Plantin School Book Cricut Cartridge and I thought it needs something  more on the letters so I took my stickels and covered all my letters with them.

  After I was finished I thought the banner turned out pretty good and was easier then I thought it would be once I begun. Below are some of the pictures of the banner.

 

 

 

Well until my next post.
