Hi Everybody,Todays Tutorial is using a beautiful Spellbinders 3-D M-Bossabilities and you can create this look with any of these folders ... and the link above will show you the selection that is available.
Using an embossing folder will create a most beautiful textured background for any of your designs
To use the 3-D folders in your Grand Calibur you will need the pink embossing plate that came with the machine and you will need to buy the Raspberry Adaptor Plate as the folders are quite thick
It helps the fibres in the card to stretch if you spritz it with some clean water first.
And when adding the folder to the machine put the hinged part so that it goes into the opening first.
This will give you a really deep emboss to your card and then you can trim it to fit the size of card you are creating.
I have used the 5x7 Matting Basics A&B to make my Hinged Card as this is the style that really works for me
With some Gilding Wax of your choice rub over the raised areas with a soft cloth to bring our the beauty in the design.
Then polish it to a soft sheen with some clean cloth.
I have used the Creative Expressions Metallic Gilding Waxes and in the picture below they are from left to right ...
Pearl Moon, Pewter, Cast Bronze and Enchanted Gold
Apply as much or as little as you wish and experiment with different colours for a completely new look
I have used three of the panels to make cards that would be suitable for any occasion
I have added in flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts to the creamy colored one for a soft female look and used Pearl Moon Gilding Wax
I used silver mirror card and white satin ribbon on the other along with Pewter Gilding Wax and that would make a lovely wedding card.
And on the bronze colored one I used Cast Bronze Gilding Wax and added in twine and a bronze button for a more masculine look.
More tomorrow ...

Hi Christina. These cards are absolutely stunning I love them. The tutorial is great too. I will definitely by trying to achieve this look when I attempt making them I have a few embossing folders and the 5x7 matting set 1 and some spellbinders decorative ovals, and I have bought lots of flowers from WOC which would give a similar look. Good look with you're shows, I shall be watching and hopefully get an email read out. Kind regards

I love the look of the gilding wax on the embossed card! I have only 1 3D Emboss, which I picked up on a clearance rack some time ago. Now, I know how to use it, and will be giving it a try. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina. Whoa!!!…. the Oooooooo and Ahhhhhhh factor on todays cards are Off The Scale. Each Card is a fabulous, stop in your tracks, stunner! Thank you so much for the tutorial. I always wanted to know about the gilding waxes. The bronze masculine card is a great interpretation! I'm going to check the programming now on C & C. Hope to catch some shows today. I know you'll do a fantastic job. You always do. :) Have a most beautiful day. Thank you for adding such beauty to mine.
ReplyDeleteLovely as usual - will have to try gilding wax soon xx
ReplyDeleteHi Christina, I think I'm falling in love with these 3D embossing folders and they are rapidly climbing to the top of my wish list :). I look forward to the Tuesday Tutorials as you always make them 'idiot proof' just for me lol. The card is beautiful and I'm looking forward to placing my first order with WOC in a couple of weeks as they listened to my request and are going to offer another colour choice in the summer blossom mix. I'm really excited about that and am thrilled to find a company that takes the time to listen and act on customer requests :). x
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful cards. I love the deep embossing.
ReplyDeleteCheers
