2015 Christmas - Stampin' Up! Embellished Ornament

I love to show case customer creations and today the beautiful stamp set Embellished Ornament was again chosen when I conducted this class.  I wanted to demonstrate powder/heat embossing, emboss resist and dry embossing with the big shot machine.  The creations are nothing short of stunning and a little bit of Rock and Roll technique crept in too, adding to the dimension of the beautiful baubles...

Contrasting Real Red and Whisper White with both bauble being embossed - the left one powder embossed in white and then inked with Real Red, the right one rock and rolled in Real Red and Cherry Cobbler and heat embossed in Clear.

 We even added a bit of diamonds to the white embossing powder - sparkles, pretty :-)

 I tried a couple of angles so that you can see the pretty diamonds...

2015 Christmas - Stampin' Up! Embellished Ornaments

Today I would like to share another beautiful layout featuring Stampin' Up! stamp set  Embellished Ornament.  The class focused on two techniques - powder/heat embossing and dry embossing using your Big Shot.  This first card exhibits the Embellished Ornament powder/heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler.

The background was embossed with the Elegant Dots embossing folder using the big shot to Dry Emboss.

I then demonstrated heat embossing on coloured card stock - note this works only for black, white, silver, gold and Cherry Cobbler, clear adds a gloss but does not add a colour.  The background of this card was dry embossed with Stampin' Up! Boho Chick Embossing folder.

The class was then extended to answer the question of how to emboss any stampin up ink colour you wish.  Click HERE to watch a vide by Dianne Sisneros to see how easy this is done.  Just remember Versamark FIRST then your choice of coloured ink...

and you can even do rock and roll......see the last post and note versamark first, light coloured ink and then rock and roll. The above bauble was inked with Versamark first, then inked in Perfect Plumb and rocked with Rich Razzleberry.  Once stamped the image was covered in clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat gun.  Easy and LOTS of fun.
