Christmas All Around This One World

Pin It

Hi! I am Laury Vaden. I design under the name Just Laury at  www.paperthreads.com. I am such a nervous Nelly. I have agonized over what I should do for my first post. So much so that I created not 1 card but 6.... But an interesting technique came out of it all which I describe on my blog. The other cards are also posted there.

My goal for this post was to use materials that are easily available at a local craft store: Cuttlebug Embossing folder, Martha Stewart clear stamp collection, Distress Inks, Momento Ink, Liner pen, Nesties, Markers, and white gel pen. The only supply that is a little different is Gilders Paste (Inca Gold) that was used to ink the edges and some of the raised sections of the embossing folder. Also I used some thick gold thread to tie up the card front. 

My daughter's favorite was the above card. This one also uses the same stamping technique as the first card. I also used one of my new stencil designs. A pallet knife was used to spread Golden's Molding Paste in the stencil. The raised area was then gilded using Inca Gold Gilder's Paste. The molding paste looks a lot like embossing but can be used with any stencil.

So which card do you like best? Just curious.

I sure hope you have been inspired today and all week long! Be sure to stop in tomorrow to see what exciting inspirations Shelley Bordeleau has for you.
