Hello! I have some really fun techniques to share in today's RU-vid video. The main one is using acetate with an embossing folder, but there are a few other fun ones thrown in there too. The texture and shine on this card is incredible!

In regards to your word die and DIY shadow: I have a hard time fussy cutting so here is my tip, especially if you want to make multiples. I cut the word die out of black cardstock then scan the cut image and bring that in to my Cricket Design Space. I can make the image to whatever size I want and make a matching shadow. Now I can cut multiples in a variety of pattern papers. If you run low on a favorite pattern paper scan that in as well and save it as a pattern rather than a cut image. Now you can fill in that pattern to other images as a print and cut.

@AlisonHeikkila 4 месяца назад

Great tips! I don't own any electronic die cutting machines, so I have to stick to fussy cutting. Thanks for watching!

I make extra cards to keep on hand and don't put any sentiments on them that indicate a specific theme. They have come in handy many times. I tend to be a slow card maker so this helps me save some time. I love the card you made. Great tip on the shadow and embossing acetate.

@AlisonHeikkila 4 месяца назад

That's definitely a great way to save time. I should do it more often. Thanks for watching!

@jenifermcneill1411 4 месяца назад

Beautiful card. When I leave my cards without a sentiment I put some of the paper I used in the card. That way I don’t have to search for matching paper later.

@AlisonHeikkila 4 месяца назад

This card is just stunning! So creative and magical. It would make a great PRIDE card. Or a bestie across the miles card... Stupidly brilliant to flip the die for the shadow. You are a rock star!

You can use a small tiny watercolor paint brush to apply powder directly to the edges of the foam tape.

@AlisonHeikkila 4 месяца назад

There's a reason for BLANK Cards and holding back the sub sentiment. You are right there. Now you've got options wide open for why it's the perfect card for who or whom ever enjoys it. Love this card. I have a load of embossing dies and Altnew is one of my all time favorites for their detail and over sized folders. I've got numerous ones. Now I know how to put a few of my favorites into an other use...shaker bits. I love pine cones and have their pine cone folders and oh my I can think of how elegant a clear pinecone and pine needles embossing would work as a shaker. Wee tree bits and pieces or winter snow flakes. Lovely idea and thank you for sharing.

@AlisonHeikkila 4 месяца назад

I love your idea for the pinecone folder. I have had my eye on a few of those from various companies. I hope you make what you described! It sounds like it will be beautiful. Thanks for watching!

@Mari-cre8s 4 месяца назад

Oohhh, those stellar embossing folders!! I have collected waaay too many the past couple years! 🤣🤣🙄😀 And now I have a whole new way to play with them! I love how the acetate doesn’t get cloudy like vellum does when embossed… altho that is a great look when I want that. Thanks much for the creating the shadow layer tip, very useful!! I find more and more I leave my cards without sentiments. I can add, like you said, when the person and occasion become clear. Have also started giving blank card sets as gifts, and including a few precut sentiments the recipients can attach if desire. Have gotten great feedback on that. Thanks for another inspiring video!! 🧑🏼‍🎨💗😀

@AlisonHeikkila 4 месяца назад

I love giving blank cards as gift as well. I've also added sentiments that they can add, and they've loved it. They really make a great gift. I hope you give this technique a try. It's really fun. Thank you so much for watching!

@amyswares 4 месяца назад

I scrolled down and saw that Karen Young answered the question about the dot under the exclamation point. As a retired secretary I had to research it and found the same info. Surprised me! I always referred to it as the "bottom tittle". LOL Love how the card turned out and really appreciated all the tips. I'm definitely going to try embossing on the acetate and used your link to Clear Bags to put some in my cart. I also tried to shop at Daiso but realized it's not an online store and the closest one to me is 3 1/2 hours away in Las Vegas, Nevada! I think I need a trip to Vegas!

@AlisonHeikkila 3 месяца назад

That sounds like a better train to go to Vegas than gambling, for sure! I'm glad you grabbed some of the acetate. It's a great quality. Thanks for the info about the "bottom tittle!" I actually like that name better than the correct one. Lol.
