Video: Dry Embossing Using Dies + DIY Rainbow Wave

Hello guys! This is Emily Cupely and for today's video I made a shaker card where I used the cute Unicorns stamp set. In the video I show you how I did the dry embossing in the background using my dies and the rainbow on which the unicorn is walking. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Happy summer!!

Hi there!!

It's Yolanda here, from Scraping Time.  I came back from Lisboa a few days ago and I am spending the second part of my holidays on the beach, on the South of Spain, and that's why I am completely abduced by colourful combos, fresh food and happiness!!

Today I am going to show you the first of three cards made with the new unicorns. I am in love to these cuties!! Maybe one of my favourite sets from Gerda. They are amazing!!

I think the sentiments from the set are awesome but since they are for Birthdays I decided to use the images for other occasions in orther to show that these unicorns are so versatile that you can use them for any kind of card.

But before showing you the card, let me show you something. Do you remember this guy??

It was a digital stamp from Gerda from last summer! I coloured the image but I never made a card with him. I think this stamp is adorable and I never forgot it so I decided to scraplift it with my unicorn in my card. For that, I used a watermelon from Lawn Fawn and I fussy cut it in order to make the bite. I thought it was a good idea to use the one with teeth!

The sentiment is a die from Winnie & Walter and I inked it with Distress Inks before adding a good coat of Wink of Stella Clear. I also put it on the watermelon.

As you can see, the original image is this on the corner:

I stamped it twice and I fussy cut the legs to put around the watermelon pretending it was bigger than it actually is. I used a glue dot to adhere it to the card. I also stamped twice the watermelon and put one inside.

I used a colourful card base to add some colour to my white panel. I added some enammels and the second part of the sentiment with white embossing powder.

I hope you enjoyed and see you soon with more unicorns!!

VIDEO: Watercoloring a Galaxy Background

Happy Friday, friends!  It's Tara from Curl E. Cue's and today's set of cards is full of all kinds of watercolor, galactic fun!  I just keep coming back to these super cute space themed stamp sets from Gerda Steiner Designs!  When you have both Blast Off and Alien Invasion the possibilities are just endless!

Today I tried my hand at creating a galaxy background using watercolors.  My inspiration for these cards came from Heather over at Houses Built of Cards.  She does these amazing ink blended backgrounds behind black and white stamped images and I really wanted to try it!  So I went with galaxies behind fun aliens and rockets and stuff!

The trick to these backgrounds is truly just practice!  I think that my third card turned out way better than my first one as I figured out how much of the colors I like showing through and how the paint layered on top of itself.  Check out the video to see how I created each one!  I do love that I used the same technique and each card looks really different!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!  See you next time!  Bye!
