Doodling with Debby: Easy Heat Emboss Resist Watercolor
Hi friends! Happy Monday! We’re delighted to welcome back special guest Debby Hughes! Please be sure to watch the video for all the details and enjoy!
Hello, it’s Debby here. I know it is Diecember, but when I saw the Winter Flower stamp set with that gorgeous Poinsettia bouquet, I knew I had to stamp and paint it! I did use a die for the greeting though LOL.
STEP BY STEP HOW-TO:
• Prepare Hot Pressed watercolour card with Antistatic Powder.
• Stamp the Winter Flower image in Versamark ink and heat emboss with Antique Gold Embossing Powder
• Tape the card to a board to prevent warping when adding lots of water.
• Paint a light layer of watercolour into the areas contained by the embossed lines. Dot in more concentrated paint where the shadows will be – on the base of the leaves tucked into the bouquet and at the base of the petals where they dip into the flower center.
• Build up the layers of paint as each layer dries, adding more layers until there is depth but equally highlights on the painting.
• Emphasise the shadows with a brown Faber Castell Polychromo pencil.
• Splatter with White Gouache and left-over paint.
• Trim the panel to fit on a 5 inch by 7 inch Neenah Desert Storm card base.
• Heat emboss a sentiment from the Holiday Greetings stamp set.
• Die cut the greeting with a Mixed Label die.
• Rub Antique Linen and then Tattered Rose Distress Ink around the edges of the label with a blending brush.
• Splash with water and soak up some of the colour on the tag with a cloth.
• Attach the panel to the card base with foam tape.
• Attach the label, again with foam tape and using a T-square ruler to ensure the label is on straight.
• Embellish with Darice Crystal Sequins and Little Things From Lucy’s Cards Eggshell Pearls.

Crafty with Caly: Etched Magnolia Blossoms
Hi friends! Isn’t this floral card by Caly Person in the latest edition of our Crafty with Caly blog series dreamy?! Be sure to read on and watch the video for all the details and enjoy!!
Hello Friends! I hope you love 3D flowers on cards because I have a fun one to share today using the Magnolia Branches Embossing Folder along with the new DieCember® Etched Magnolia Blossom dies!
I have a video to show how these fun Etched Magnolia Blossom dies are put together. I hope you’ll enjoy watching!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I die-cut the pieces in white and ink-blended the petals to add color using Rosie Cheeks and Teeny Bikini inks. For the stamen and cone center, I used YG11 and YG17 Copic markers. The pieces are small so Copics are easier for me to add color on those elements. I also used a red colored pencil to add some veins and more dimension to the petals too.
After assembling three Etched Magnolia Blossoms, I embossed the Magnolia Branches Embossing Folder on some white Copic-friendly paper. You can leave it white or add colors in various ways – I opted for some quick Copic-coloring with some flicking to add color. This gives me a nice backdrop for my 3D flowers that I created.
To finish today’s card, I adhered my Etched Magnolia Blossoms, attached a sentiment strip from the Reverse Family Sentiment Strips set, and embellished my card with some iridescent sequins. I hope you like it! Thanks so much for spending time with me here today! Have a good one! ~Caly
