Bella Basket…Big Shot style! Plus bonus Tutorial

The Big Shot excitement is huge in Stampin’ Up! world and I’ve had a chance to make some lovely projects with mine! I have to say that before we carried the Big Shot, I didn’t own a cutting system. When I receive it I figured when I made my first basket…I better just take photo’s and share with you how to create it! 

Here’s the "Bella Basket" I made and it only took minutes to make! Can you imagine this same basket using different holiday type paper? Picture Halloween, Christmas, etc….so many possibilities!

Tutorial: Glitter Embossing with a twist!

If you’re like me, you love your GLITTER and when you combine in with one of our favourite techniques-embossing; you have a recipe for FUN! Here’s a fun way to add glitter to any of our awesome Stampin’ Up! colours!

This is a fun card I made a couple of months ago for a Wow Swap and I also used it at Stamp Club last month! 
Supplies used
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Garden Whimsy
Cardstock: Whisper White, Always Artichoke, Apricot Appeal
Ink: Versamark, Always Artichoke, Apricot Appeal
Accessories: Boho Blossoms Punch, Rhinestone Brads, Heat Tool, Irredescent Ice Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Dimesionals

 

Step 1 Use the embossing buddy to go over the Whisper White
cardstock scrap. (This will take away the static from your paper and
make the powder stick where it’s suppose to be only!)

 

 

Step 2 Stamp the image in Versamark Ink. (This becomes your
STICKY ink that the powder will stick to.)

 Step 3 Without stamping the image just yet, ink the “versamark inked” image into the Regal Rose Classic Ink.

 Step 4 Stamp the image onto the whisper white cardstock and apply Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder to image.

 

Step 5 Using the Heat Tool, heat the embossing powder until the image becomes sparkly. (This may be hard to see, you will start with a cloudy glitter…keep heating until the glitter becomes clear everywhere.)

 
 
 
Here’s a close-up look of the image:
 
It’s quite stunning in person! Here’s another colour combination I used with this card:

Supplies used
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Garden Whimsy
Cardstock: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Regal Rose
Ink: Versamark, Certainly Celery, Regal Rose
Accessories: Boho Blossoms Punch, Rhinestone Brads, Heat Tool, Irredescent Ice Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Dimesionals
