Chevron Embossing Folder – A Stamping Journey

CHEVRON TRAVELER!

July 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I wasn’t sure of this stamp set when I first saw it. How about you?? But with all my stamps before I buy them I do a little research on the internet to see what clever people have created with these sets. Sometimes I have a look at some cards with similar stamps or style that the set has. It gives me some ideas of what I might come up with. I decided that this set might just fill a hole in my masculine stamp sets – and I have to say I like it. I was playing around with this set the other day and created this card.

I was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers with a similar type of stamp set. I changed it a little and added the Starburst circles to it too.

The base card is Smoky Slate and I embossed a piece of Tangerine Tango card with the Chevron Embossing Folder. I stamped the train in black Stazon on Whisper White card and added the Washi Tape strips on the corner. This was adhered to a Smoky Slate card mat. The Starbursts were stamped in Tangerine Tango and Smoky Slate and raised up with Dimensionals. A simple card but HEYyou don’t need fancy for the boys 😉

Thanks for visiting me today.

STAINED GLASS BUTTERFLY!

August 9, 2013August 9, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I realised I hadn’t shown you this card. We made this at my Vellum class a couple of months ago. This is the stained glass technique on Vellum.

The stained Glass technique is very easy to do. Simply stamp on vellum using black Staz-on. Then on the back of the vellum, colour with markers. You can use different colours if you would like to. Leave it to dry a little and then assemble your card. For this card I have used one of my favourite combinations of Pool Party and Island Indigo. I ran the Pool Party piece through the Big Shot with the Chevron Embossing Folder and layered this with some black card. I simply added a greeting from ‘Blooming with Kindness’ and added a button and Whisper White Bakers Twine.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a good weekend,

END OF SALE-A-BRATION COUNTDOWN – 4

March 19, 2013March 19, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I was playing around with the Sale-A-Bration set ‘Feeling Sentimental’ a few weeks ago and created this card. Some distressing and inking I think it makes a great “MAN” card. They are always hard to do, aren’t they??? I have used the Chevron Embossing Folder. The brads in the centre of the wheel and on each end of the Natural Trim Ribbon are gold brads and I sanded them back slightly to rough them up!!!
