So our June technique for these two clubs was embossing. It was renewal month for my other club - so we did a different project that I'll post soon. Here is our technique card for our binders -
It's an oldie - but a goodie - and I still love every time that embossing powder melts and gives your image an amazing shine. It's like magic. This year's annual catalog for Stampin' Up! has embossing powder in the five new fun In-Colors - Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch.
They are so bright and vibrant and we used the Blueberry Bushel color on these cards below.
This card also features the Painted Glass stamp set and our beautiful Garden Impressions DSP. How beautiful are these cards. The layers of blue, white, blue and black - really make the focal point pop. We colored the butterflies with markers - cut them out on the big shot with the Stained Glass thinlits, and folded their wings up and attached with a couple glue dots.
The words are embossed and thus really bright and shiney! Just loving this entire card - and hope you do too! See you soon - next participating in a Fall Blog Hop - then after that Day 5 of my Alaskan Cruise. ~Maureen

Today I'm sharing the card we made at Club using our Copper Emboss powder for heat embossing. I've been stamping nearly 20 years - and heat embossing is still a WOW for me. We embossed the maple leaf with the copper and then sponged with fall colors of ink before cutting out on the Big Shot.
The sentiment was also embossed with copper, and it's hard to see, but we ran some copper thread around the burlap ribbon before attaching to the card - for a little extra coppery bling.
The base was made using our Timeless Textures and Gorgeous Grunge sets - just putting a smattering of the spots in Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze after doing the edges with Soft Suede and sponging. Also - you can see above we attached the leaf just down the center - so the edges would stick up a bit and give the card some dimension.
Fall is my favorite season of the year - and all the fall colors just warm my heart. We were fortunate enough to be in the mid-west a couple weeks ago, as all the leaves were starting to turn - such beauty!! See you all soon! ~Maureen

So we just had our October Technique Club meeting, and this month worked on learning heat embossing. Here is the instruction card they made for their Technique Binder-
It was the first time some of the ladies had heat embossed - so was really fun. Below is a picture of the embossing close up. This "Paisleys and Posies" set is so beautiful and elegant when embossed.
Check back soon to see the projects that we made at Club this month. ~Maureen
