Just wanted to share what's been on my craft table lately... embossing powder! I know it isn't new, but it's totally new to me. I'm pretty much in love with this Martha Stewart Antique Gold powder.
This was my first (sloppy and kinda messy) attempt.
This is a Studio Calico stamp.
And another Studio Calico stamp.
I even broke the seal on a set of gelatos I've had for a while... They're a bit messy for me! I'm going to try again soon though. I think it turned out pretty. And now I have some baby wipes to get the gelatos off my fingers quickly :)
I love reading each and every comment! Be sure to keep up with me on Instagram, Pinterest, and
Your gold embossing looks fab, Emily! I've only tried it once before, but I might have to try it again (in gold)! :)
ReplyDeleteGold is definitely the way to go, Elise!
DeleteLove to emboss, but haven't tried gelatos yet. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!
DeleteI do like to heat emboss - but I need to buy some new powder - mine doesn't seem to work well anymore - very old 8-10 years. I've tried gelatos - love the color vibrancy but not working with that medium. Your cards are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy mom had some old powders and hers didn't work well either... The gelatos are messy!
DeleteLove that gold embossing powder I can see why you were drawn to it. I have a whole drawer full of EPs. You should try Judkins twinkling EPs they have glitter in them and are fun to watch melt. Haven't tried gelatos yet, not sure if I want to go there or not..LOL
ReplyDeleteOoh, those sound pretty.. I'll have to get some!
DeleteI love using embossing powder! Gelatos...not so much. Maybe I just need to play with them more, but I haven't found my love for them yet.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way... going to give it another shot though :)
DeleteThe gold embossing is beautiful! I had no idea Martha Stewart had embossing powders.
ReplyDeleteI looked for some at Michael's the other day and didn't see any... this powder was from an embossing kit. I would buy this color in economy size if possible :)
DeleteI too love to emboss, but haven't tried gelatos yet. I need t get out my powders and play for awhile, thanks for the inspiration :) You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina!! Be sure to have some baby wipes handy when you use the gelatos... I didn't have any and that stuff was all over my fingers ;(
