Another Faux Embossing card

 I made another card for the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge - Faux Embossing.

All supplies are from Gina K. Designs.

I started with a piece of Sweet Mango cardstock, and placing it in the upper right hand corner of my MISTI, stamped the leaves with Coral Reef ink. I cleaned the stamps, but didn't move them. Then I shifted the cardstock down and to the left, and stamped with Ivory pigment ink. A bit of the Coral Reef ink shows on one side of the leaves, with the Ivory showing on the other. This gives an embossed look.

I stamped the sentiment with Coral Reef ink, added a Coral Reef panel and attached it to a white card base.

The leaves are from the Autumn Silhouettes stamp set, and the sentiment is from the Butterfly Kisses stamp set.

Penguin Palace Challenge #29

This month, the Penguin Palace challenge #29 is to use this colour palette as inspiration.

 

Here is my card.

I used the Penguin Palace The Rose Close-Up stencil, and inked it up with Gina K. Designs ink: 

Sweet Corn, Light Carnation, and Dark Carnation. The stencil doesn't have leaves, so I masked off part of the stencil and used some of the petals as leaves, which are in Jelly Bean Green ink. Then I blended some Turquoise Sea ink around the edges. 

This is a one layer card, as I made this right on the card base.

Faux Embossing Technique

The Gina K. Designs September 2023 Monthly Mix Challenge is Faux Embossing Technique. This is my card for the challenge.

To get this effect, I stamped the image, from the Summer Silhouettes stamp set, and the sentiment, from the Massive Messages stamp set, with Tranquil Teal ink, onto Turquoise Sea cardstock, using my MISTI. I wiped off the stamps, but made sure not to move them. I then stamped  with Ivory ink a few times. It lightens the blue ink and gives the 3D effect.

I added the panel to a white card base to finish the card.

Scor-Pal September More Than One Score

 

This month, I made a card with some 3D flowers, so I needed to make a box for an envelope. 

To make this box, you will need:

Scor-Buddy

Scor-Tape

The Stacker

2 pieces of heavy cardstock - 7 1/4" x 9 1/2"

Items to decorate, if desired. I used Heartfelt Creations Fuchsia Clusters stamp set, coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

Take one of the pieces of cardstock, and place it in your Scor-Pal with the 7 1/4" side at the top. Score at 1" and 6 3/4". Turn it 90° to the left, and score at 1/2", 1 1/2" and 8 1/2". 

The dotted lines are the score lines, and the solid lines are the cut lines. When I made this template, it was 1/2" too wide. The written instructions give the correct measurements. Remove the parts marked with an X. If you want to decorate your box, it is much easier to do it now.

Repeat with the second piece of cardstock. You will make one more cut on this piece - the top right hand section - leaving just the tab at the top left. Place Scor-Tape on the right hand side flap of each piece.

Remove the tape backing and attach the two pieces of cardstock together on both sides. Place Scor-Tape on the bottom flap as shown below. Fold in side flaps, then the flap with the tape. Remove tape backing and fold in the last flap to adhere.

Here is the finished box.

For my card, I used the Heartfelt Creations Cascading Fuchsia and Fuchsia Clusters stamp sets on the front panel and then taped the panel to a card base. I scored a diagonal pattern in the green border, taped it to the front of the panel and attached the 3D fuchsias.
