Loved playing around with my Pancake Maker and Embossing Powders, and thought I'd give Chipboard a try, I definitely needed to have turned off the heat sooner and Chipboard is very absorbent, but I got a good result in the end :D Hope you liked the video :D xxx

I promise this is the last video with this stencil hehe :D But I really wanted to try this Monstera Leaf in some different colours with more of my Cosmic Shimmer Spangles :D Also I didn't mention in the video, but when working in batch like this with thick embossing, you might encounter cracking when you adhere your panel to your card blank, BUT it's easily rectified, just gently heat the cracked area and the powder will join back together :D Hope you liked seeing more colour variations :D xxx

I was having a play with the Heart Cascade 3D Embossing Folder from Tonic for a Magazine Commission and I really loved the technique of rubbing a candle over the embossed card to act as a resist so I just had to recreate it for a sped up video :D And I finished the card with some stunning Spellbinders sentiment dies! :D

I'm using this stencil again hehe :D But showing another stencil technique that can be applied to any stencil you have in your stash :D You might have to do a few before you can judge the right amount of water to add without getting a blobby image, but anything can be disguised or cut into to remove or hide pieces you don't like :D Have fun trying this technique!

I had so much fun building these cocktails with Spellbinders dies, and the hands just worked so well to hold them too! I wasn't sure exactly how to use the hands to begin with, but as soon as I had this idea I just had to make them :D And you can switch it up for any theme with the extra dies from the set or the extra die sets too, they have a Halloween add-on set and a Christmas add-on set for the Martini glass too :D
