Parchment Crafting with Guest Designer Elizabeth Hart

Hello again from Maryland. This week I used a special technique called parchment crafting. I love it!

SweetStamps has a fabulous video on their site that tells you how to do it. And, the written instructions list all the tools you need. I simply followed the easy instructions provided by SweetStamps and ended up with a fabulous butterfly on my first attempt! The effects are really gorgeous.

For my supplies I used the Dot Butterfly (438) and the lovely die was from SweetStamps too. I kept it simple so the gorgeous parchment butterfly would be center stage. I'll see you again next Thursday where I'll be presenting a very cute project.

Parchment Crafting with Guest Designer Donna K

Hello again friends!

I'm back for week two of my guest posting gig with SweetStamps.

The challenge this week is "parchment" and let me tell you I am NEW to parchment technique.

I hope it doesn't show too much in my card that this was my first real experience with this beautiful technique.  

I chose soft pinks and grays for my card colors. I used a clear ink and a white embossing powder onto the vellum using the beautiful Parisian Bouquet stamp from SweetStamps. 

Once I heated the embossing powder the image showed up just lovely and I was pretty proud of myself for even trying this technique.  

I hope you'll give this technique and challenge a try too... I mean, why not, right?

I'm so tickled to be here with the gang at SweetStamps...thanks for having me again for another week!

Challenge #121 Parchment Crafting

Hello again crafty friends! This week's challenge is one of my FAVORITES...

 Parchment Crafting/ Use Vellum

If you don't know what Parchment Crafting is, here is a video I've made of Parchment Crafting with Rubber Stamps. 

Basically, parchment crafting is stamping, heat embossing, etching (dry embossing) and piercing on vellum. You can do any combination of these techniques on vellum and you'll get beautiful results!

Don't forget to come back this Wednesday and Thursday to see some more parchment craft creations by our June guest designers: Donna K and Elizabeth Hart!
