After seeing the snapshot exhibit at the NGA, I couldn't resist an embossed cyanotype.

using a kaleidoscope effect

I used the Hero Arts BasicGrey Two Way Arrows stencil and embossed it (video in the link below) on Kraft Cardstock. I used StazOn Spiced Chai Ink direct to paper over the textured embossing (which seemed perfect, since Spiced Chai is my go-to choice of hot drink).

I used three different images from the Hero Arts Caffeine Fix Digital Stamp set to create my image. I combined the coffee cup (or tea cup in my case) with the steam and the sentiment using my word processing software, which allows me to re-size, flip (I wanted my mug handle on the right) and position the images, so they are perfect for my card design, and then printed it on Natural White Cardstock.

The layout is this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch (flipped on its side to work with my vertical image).

I took 2 Fred Mullet workshops yesterday with Marissa and Elyce. It was so much fun!

These fish are from the second class of the day called "Dancing Rubber Fish". They are embossed fish stamps that came out amazing!

Carl Schultz torpedo soda bottle, New York. Was probably in the ocean due to the amount of wear.

Just started this over the weekend and then had a REALLY long travel day yesterday (nothing like sitting at the Southwest Airlines gate in Vegas with the sound of slot machines and a bubbly crew of competitive cheerleaders from Stanford to make you want to shut out the world and just knit). I got so much done!!

a new tool

Drilled and embossed raw blanks (I used the Cuttlebug) and accented with alcohol inks as well as acrylics, sealed with clear acrylic varnish.

I can definitely say that Embossed Leaves is a pattern that I love to knit and plan to knit yet again in the future. This is my third pair so far.

This was my first time knitting with Skinny Bugga. I've knit a shawl in regular Bugga, which I loved, and I liked working with Skinny Bugga as well. These feel great on my feet and I think they'll wear well over time.

It's hard to believe that I just bought this yarn two weeks ago at Maryland Sheep & Wool and now I have a pair of finished socks from it! Pretty neat. :)

Pattern: Embossed Leaves from Favorite Socks

Yarn: The Sanguine Gryphon Skinny Bugga in Honeybee, less than one skein

Needles: US 2

Size: US 8.5 shoe

Mods: I knit 10 rounds of twisted rib instead of 18. For the heel flap, I knit 20 rows instead of 24. On the gusset, I did not cut the yarn (as instructed) since...that didn't make sense to me, lol. Also on the gusset, I picked up 13 stitches along the heel flap instead of 15.

Working on a custom letterpress holiday card job. This was the blind emboss snow later before the red letterpress.

This view shows an embossing block with very crisp edges on the printed cover stock paper. Note it is positioned within 1/16 inch of the edge to start an emboss. Press down and work it to the light line and the edge of the mask (die) below. This block will be used twice on the short edges and three times on the longer edges. The cover stock is a preprinted sheet of French Sparkletone (Sand) available from the XpedX Paper Store (formerly Nationwide Papers). It is pricey but very good. This card was one of a series of several created for souvenir stock for the Raymond, Colorado Store, a historical derelict.

I remember when I first started taking pictures of wildlife, I was ecstatic to take shots of flying egrets, then like I song I started to hear over and over, I got sick of them ... Now I've come full circle and can appreciate them once again. Although not the best in-flight egret shot, it was the first pic I started to experiment with embossing (thanks, Laura)

It caught my eye amidst all the others

The embossed image on this card was painted with Distress Stains and Inks. In person, it looks somewhat like a batik. I don't know the origin of the stamp. It reminds me of a line from Stamp Oasis, but I am not sure this was a part of one.

This origami star is very easy to make it compared to other one. Although it is easy to make this simple model, but the out-look is as good as more complicated one.

This view shows the hand-cut embossing mask (die), a maple embossing block (punch) with very crisp edges atop the printed layer of the same cover stock paper to be made into a greeting card. These are the only production tools needed to emboss cards. The 80# cover stock is preprinted sheets of French Sparkletone (Sand color) available from the XpedX Paper Store (formerly Nationwide Papers). It is pricey even by the ream but very good quality in that color images can be printed on it with decent results. This card was one of a series of several created for souvenir stock for the Raymond, Colorado Store, a historical derelict.
