Simplify with Piccolo Embossing Powder




Hello, it's Arin here and I have to say Globecraft & Piccolo Embossing Powders have breathed new life in my interest in scrapbooking!  

Yes, I have admitted that I am not a fan of scrapping, but being able to add layers of interest and depth without a whole lot of embellishments and pre-planning the layout, is right up my alley! 

I challenged myself to do a real layout with only using what I had in my supply stash and the Piccolo Embossing Powder. I feel I have myself a layout that looks interesting and tells a story that was quick and easy to throw together, yet the high quality of the Piccolo Embossing Powder really carries this beyond the simplicity of this layout!

Step Two: Embossing edges of cardstock layer - Applying the same method above, apply Piccolo Embossing Adhesive around the border of and dust with Piccolo Embossing Powder.  Remove excess and set with heat gun. This provides a great framing element to each of the pictures. 



Step Three: Embossing with stamp images - Applying Piccolo Embossing Adhesive to clear stamps, stamp onto desired surface and dust with Piccolo Embossing Powder. Remove excess and set with heat gun.  This was done onto the base of the layout at well as an inked edge scrap piece of paper for the sentiment. 



Step Four: Assembly and adding final touches - All layers were attached to the base of the layout with ATG and washi tape was added for a final touch. 



Creating keepsake layouts can be overwhelming at times when you feel like you have to add all but the kitchen sink to make them feel unique and personal.  Using the magic of Piccolo Embossing Powder and a few quick and simple techniques, you can succeed in creating special layouts without a whole lot of fuss!
