Category: Heat Embossing

This time, it is a project that I made for the Colour INKspiration #119. I am enjoying being part of the Design Crew.

This colour palette is so sweet – thank goodness I am featuring the Gumball Greetings Bundle this week. It is prefectly sweet way to showcase these colours.

I decided to create a slimline card for this project.

I started by stamping three of the small gumball machines using Versamark on Basic White cardstock. After sprinkling gold embossing powder, from the Metallic Stampin’ Emboss Powders™, across the three gumball machines and shaking off any excess I heat embossed the powder.

Before die cutting the three small gumball machines; I used the Fresh Freesia, Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers™ to colour most of the gumballs in each machine.

I prepared the slimline card by cutting a cardbase from Thick Basic White A4 cardstock measuring 8-1/2″x 7″ and scoring the 7″ side at 3-1/2″.

I scored three lines on the bottom edge of the card front, at 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ from that bottom edge.

Using a 8-1/2″x 2-3/8″ piece of Gold Shimmer Vellum, I created this shiny gold background for the gumball machines.

The sentiment was also stamped and heat embossed in gold. I used two of the new banner dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, for the sentimment and a gold accent.

I tied a gold double bow using the Simply Elegant Trim bundle and secured it with a Mini Glue Dot. Finally, a few Gilded Gems were added to the card front.

It was fun using these colours with the Gumball Greetings Bundle.

Make sure you check out the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see all the projects made for this challenge. Even better, you should join us. I look forward to seeing what you make.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I think my project will involve gumballs.

Until then, happy stamping.

Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time.
