Spellbinders Shape It Up Sneak Peek and Giveaway Day Three

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is day three of the Spellbinders Shape It Up Sneak Peek and Giveaway.  I have a couple of projects to share with you using the NEW E3D-010 Roman Romance 3D M-Bossabilites folders and I have a full step-by-step tutorial.

To start die cut a piece of simply smooth white cardstock using Nestabilities™ Card Creator S6-001 5x7 Matting Basics A.  Then lightly mist the front and back of the cardstock with water.  Doing this will loosen the fibers in the paper and allow for a very deep and crisp emboss.  Set aside. *Tip-add 1-2 drops of Dawn dish soap to the water this will condition and loosen the fibers.

To create a letterpress affect start to apply the Turquoise Gem Versa Magic™ ink directly to the 

M-Bossabilites folder starting at the top (hinge side).   Apply the ink about half way down the folder.

Now switch colors of ink.  Using the Aquatic Splash Versa Magic™ ink start applying ink in the middle and continue to the bottom of the folder.  *Tip-using this particular folder you will want to do the direct ink technique-apply ink directly from the ink pad to the folder.  There are several layers of dimension to this folder and applying the ink directly will give a better ink coverage than a brayer.

Place the 5x7 die cut of simply smooth white cardstock in to the folder and run it through the Grand Calibur® Machine to emboss.  The embossing sandwich for the 3D M-Bossabilities™ is a little different than the regular embossing sandwich—B • Embossing Plate, M-Bossabilities Folder with paper inside and D • Adapter Plate on top.

I absolutely love the look of the letterpress with the 3D M-bossabilites!  The embossing is so crisp and doing the letterpress with this folder gives the embossing the look of venise lace.  I also love how the embossed pattern fades out toward the bottom.  To finish of the embossed piece I stamped a sentiment from 

CR-04350 Special Gifts Labels Twenty-Nine stamp set from JustRite Papercraft®.

To assemble the card I used a piece of teal cardstock scored and folded for the base.  Then I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips-Refillable Dispenser-49' from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to adhere the pieces together.  I added a piece of white venise lace trim along the side and then I added a few pearls to the embossed area and by the sentiment.

When using the 3D M-bossabilites try to explore beyond.  Think out of the box and look at different ways to use them.  The 3D M-bossabilities are not just for paper crafting.

Here is a second project that I designed using Premium Craft Foils from Spellbinders with the E3D-010 Roman Romance 3D M-Bossabilites™ Folder.  I embossed the foil and then cut out parts of it and used it to alter a wooden box transforming it from simple to stunning.
