MONDAY

I wanted to play with the new Embossing Mat today so here is a simple card using the new product.

If you look closely you can see the embossed outline of the flowers and then the embossing at the bottom.  I used the Petal Palette stamp set and thinlits to do this technique. the message is from the Rooted in Nature set.

At the end of this post is a link to the Stampin' Up video for using your new Embossing Mat.  You can use it several ways which is always a plus!

I stamped my flowers first and then I laid the matching framelit around the flowers, secured with a little Washi Tape to keep it in place.

Turn this upside down on your Big shot platform following the directions in the video. This picture shows you what it looks like after it has gone through the Big Shot.  Sorry for the blur, but I think you get the picture.

I colored it with Stampin' Blends, which will soon be coming to the Stampin' Up warehouse - there has been a little delay. 

To get the embossing at the bottom of the card, lay your framelit under your card stock, cutting edge up, and follow the platform sequence directions.

I love how this turned out - very easy.

Here is the link to the video.  

There are also other videos on Pinterest produced by fellow demonstrators.  I will show you a couple more samples later in the week.
