Ebony & Ivory Card – Double Embossed Technique
Welcome to the SU Stars Blog Hop…you've most likely arrived here from the main page www.su-stars.
Today's blog hop features Ebony & Ivory Cards - sometimes simple color combinations are the best! This card uses a fabulous technique called Double Embossing:
The only "color" on this card is the Pear Pizzazz Pleated Satin Ribbon. I used the Domestic Goddess DSP for the technique portion of the card. Want to know how to do the double embossed technique? Here are the supplies:
- Card Stock/Designer Series Paper
- Heat Gun/Embossing Powder/Embossing Buddy
- VersaMark Inkpad
- Sizzix Embossing Folder/Big Shot
- Brayer
Run the Embossing Buddy over the card stock or DSP. Ink brayer with Versamark ink. Apply inked brayer to the side of the embossing folder with the design "pressed in".
Place the card stock or DSP face down on the inked side of the embossing folder and feed it through the Big Shot.
Cover inked paper with embossing powder and heat set.
Use double embossed piece on your project!
Don't you love this new ribbon? This is our 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon which is available through April 30th in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Subscribe to the comments for this postGoodbye 2011! Hello 2012!
At last month's Technique Tuesday class, I taught my stampers how to modify the glimmer paper by dyeing it! By using the Wisteria Wonder refill, we changed the hue of the background and made this very sparkly card:
This is a Z Fold Format – and the Top Note Die (an SU exclusive) is perfect to use for this! My customers really liked the different color scheme for this vintage-feel card using Greeting Card Kids.
I have truly neglected uploading my projects on my blog this holiday season. My new year's resolution is to share more and hopefully inspire my readers with my creativity.
There have been some great moments this year, but to tell the truth, I'll be happy to say goodbye to 2011! I am looking forward to a fresh new start in 2012. May joy come often and unexpectedly to you this year!

Christmas Nativity Scene Punch Card
Welcome to the Stampin' Up! Blog Hop – It's All About Blue! If you are following along the blog hop, you probably came from Angela's blog – Life with a Wiener Dog. If you want to start at the beginning, you can click HERE.
My favorite blue has to be Night of Navy. In fact, it was one of the first Stampin' Up! inks I bought over 15 years ago. It is just one of those go-to colors for me, especially when I'm making masculine cards.
I made this card several years ago, but updated it recently with some of our new colors and punches.
The Word Window punch is prominent in the stable and crib. Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, and Soft Suede are the neutral colors I used for this part of the card. The crib is a Round Tab punch folded in half and 2 Word Window punches cut in half and criss-crossed. I snipped some Crumb Cake card stock for the hay.
Baby Jesus has a Brushed Gold halo with a 3/4" circle; Pink Pirouette 1/2" circle, and Small Oval in Bashful Blue. I did put Stampin' Dimensionals on Baby Jesus' body and the crib.
The phrase is from Sincere Greetings – I like this mixture of fonts on this stamp set. Punched out with the Large Oval and backed with Bashful Blue Scalloped Oval punch, the phrase is also popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The star is a die cut from the Big Shot Stars die in Brushed Gold (again, popped up).
I hope you like it!

Snow Much Fun Shaker Card
Well, it is Wisconsin…so it is time to get ready for snow!!!! Stampin' Up! has a couple of new products to make the super-fun shaker cards easier to create! The shaker frames are sets of circular double adhesive rings – 6 different sizes for you to use. Then the new Mica Flakes make the prettiest snow! This is the card my customers made at last night's Technique Tuesday class. They really liked it. When you shake the card, you can also make the bell jingle! Of course, we had to use my favorite stamp set – Snow Much Fun!
May all your snow be light and sparkly!
Holiday Packaging Ideas
Hello and welcome to the SU Stars Blog Hop! If you are following along on the hop, you probably came from Deborah Robb's blog. If you ever get lost along the way of the blog hop, you should go to the main page www.su-stars.
Here is a side view:
Inside these packets are three Hershey Kisses. These are the perfect little goodies to hand out at school or adorn your holiday table. You can really make them any size – but for mine I used a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of DSP.
My next project is simple as it uses a simple A2 envelope! It is a gift card holder. You fold it in half, cut the top section at the fold line, and then trim off a small triangle on each flap end. You only seal ONE end. Stamp the inside of the envelope first. I used Jolly Bingo Bits and Delightful Dozen stamp sets for this part. I stamped with Real Red ink and Real Red and More Mustard markers.
I used the Holly Berry Bouquet DSP again (just LOVE that paper), as well as the Beautiful Season stamp set to decorate the front of the gift card holder. Then I also used my punches and the new buttons along with our quilted Early Espresso ribbon to finish it off:
I didn't want to hide that beautiful paper! Insert a gift card and this finished project is ready to for you to give!
I hope you have enjoyed this stop along the blog tour – the next stop is Jayne Stenson's blog . See you next time!
Ornate Blossom Thanksgiving Card
I love this stamp, but sometimes get stumped on using it. Here is one of the designs I really like – I've attached pearls on the dots and continued the theme on the bottom.
Triple Treat Flower Pocket Card
I hadn't made a pocket card in a long time. I wanted to be sure to use our gorgeous Spice Cake designer series paper in this design. Isn't it pretty? I know I would never come up with this color combination on my own. Stampin' Up! inspires me so much with the DSP color combinations! This card has Pool Party, More Mustard, Early Espresso, and Sahara Sand along with Very Vanilla colors. My customers can't get enough of this paper!
Gently Falling Reverse Soot Stamping Card
Today's post is one of the techniques I taught last month to my stampers. Our Gently Falling stamp set is perfect to use for this technique!
Enjoy!
