Metal embossing is easy, fun, and a great technique for mixed-media art; embossed pieces can be used in collage, assemblage, handmade books, and jewelry.
Wondering whether you need a die cutter and an electronic cutting machine? Here are my reasons why I did and possibly why you may like both too.
Hi everyone! This is Kris, and I am excited to share a project with you today! I am going to show you how to use Technique Tuesday's watercolor crayons with an embossing folder to create a neat background. Start by...
Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a step-by-step Sizzix tutorial using Karen Burniston's new Journey collection. You can see all the dies here, each one is so much fun and they work wonderfully together and in combination with Karen's previous collections. This is the inside of the card, a really cute indoor scene, with the super fun 3-D Chair in the centre. I love to create little scenes and to add photos to my pop-ups (see this tutorial too), and knew that someone had to sit in that chair, so I created a cozy reading corner for my son. We'll be doing both dry and heat embossing to create the different textures on the card. Since you need a door to walk into a room, I used Karen's Opening Door die on the front of the card. Let's start with the tutorial: Place the Chair pop-up in the Pop 'n Cuts Base die and die cut from smooth cream cardstock. The Journey collection has a new square base die with an ornate edge, but I didn't use it here, since I wanted a bit more space to build my scene. There are two embossing folders that coordinate with the Chair pop-up and we'll be using both here. One great technique to use together with the folder that has a table, lamp and frame, is the kissing technique. Ink up a stamp with embossing ink and stamp it on the embossing folder, on the side where the pattern is recessed. Ink and stamp again to cover the whole folder. Place the top of your die cut chair cardstock on the other side of the embossing folder (so that it lines up with the floor of your pop-up) and carefully close the folder and emboss. Sprinkle white embossing powder on your paper and watch how the stamped impression has transferred to the paper from the embossing folder, but only to the parts that aren't embossed. I removed the embossing powder from the chair with a small paint brush, but you can leave it too. Sometimes it can be harder to adhere things on top of melted powder, which is the only reason why I removed it. If there is any stray powder on the table, lamp and frame, brush that off too. Melt the powder with a heat gun. I decided to continue playing with embossing powders. Carefully apply embossing ink with a pen to the embossed parts, one section at a time and sprinkle with embossing powder. Brush off any stray powder with a small paint brush. Melt the powder and continue to the next section. I used silver powder for the frame and the lamp post, Seafoam White for the lamp shade and Vintage Photo Distress powder for the table, to give it a different texture. I did the table in three sections. You can use other colours of embossing powder and get a different effect. If you want to, you can leave out this step, and just ink the scene instead. Ink with Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, using an ink blending tool. Watch the magic as the embossing resists the ink. Die cut just the chair again from natural sticky-back canvas and emboss in the Bubble folder. Adhere natural sticky-back canvas to a piece of cardstock and emboss in the mat folder. Love this texture. Adhering the canvas to the cardstock first, gives the embossing a bit more punch. Cut the mat out and fray the edges a little. Ink both the chair and the mat with Bundled Sage and Gathered Twigs. Our room needed a floor, and I love a wooden floor. The Darkroom Door Woodgrain stamp was perfect for this and was stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink. Place a piece of scrap paper at the fold of the paper, to avoid stamping on the wall of the room. Don't worry about stamping on the chair since we are going to cover it up. One of my favourite dies from the Journey collection is the Flower & Heart, which die cuts five perfect little hearts. I had a left over piece of mat board which had been covered with old book paper and die cut hearts from that. To further embellish my little indoor scene, I printed two photos in two different sizes. We always have cars everywhere you look, so I stamped two small cars. The books were stamped, inked and cut out, to be placed on the table and the room needed a little clock on the wall. I also used my favourite Birds on a Wire die (but for the outside), the birds were inked with Bundled Sage and Gathered Twigs. I ended up only using one of them. I also found a little heart ribbon as a table cloth. Adhere the sticky-back canvas chair on top of the cardstock one and glue the photo to the chair. I cut a little pillow from cream felt. Looks cozy, doesn't it? I placed a tiny photo in the frame. The clock was coated with Glossy Accents and left to dry before gluing it to the wall. I used a Distress Marker to add some detail to the lamp shade. Glue a ribbon table cloth to the table and place small stamped items on top. You can see the texture of the embossing powder and Glossy Accents better on this photo. Adhere the mat to the floor at an angle and place a small stamped image on top. I also stamped the floor with two sentiment stamps, added another one stamped on a strip of paper and used three of the little hearts. I used Core'dinations Tim Holtz Distress Color-Core cardstock (Bundled Sage) for the base. The front was embossed with the Bricked folder, sanded and inked with Gathered Twigs. Die cut the door from cream cardstock, ink with Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs and stamp with the Woodgrain background stamp, as on the floor on the inside of the card. Mount the panels with foam dots and colour the handle with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint before gluing it to the door. Adhere the door to a piece of torn old book paper and tape to the background. On the inside of the door (which is inked with Antique Linen), I stamped another sentiment, adhered the larger of the two photos and a word with Tim Holtz Label Letters. Coat the bird with Glossy Accents and let it dry before gluing it to the top of the door. Here's another view of the pop-up from the top. I can think of so many different things to do with this chair die. It is so much fun and imagine the face of the recipient opening a card with this pop-up inside.

Believe it or not, todays technique is made in seconds but it took me all day to figure it out. I tried 3 other techniques before this one. Embossing with a die cut machine is not new. My crafting friends and me did it in the early days of home cutting machines back in 2000.

I asked the super duper talented Gwen Lafleur (You should follow her on instagram. I do!) to choose a tutorial from my blog archives to put her own spin on. Check out what she did: I’ve been super inspired by all of the tutorials Julie has posted over the years, but while I was trying to choose one to put my own spin on, the Colorful Garbage ATCs from back in May 2011 really jumped out at me. Like Julie, I’m pretty good about throwing things away, but I can’t let go of my under-paper. (You know, the stuff where...

Crafting away for Martha Stewart Crafts Japan. There's a little Hello Sandwich x Martha Stewart Crafts Japan display at Entre Square store in the AO building in Aoyama. Please check it out if you have time. My friend's exhibition at No. 12 Gallery in Komaba. Delicious obento at the Tokyo Art Book Fair. The Hello Sandwich booth at the Tokyo Art Book Fair. As usual, I was up the night before printing and stapling my new zine together. This one I made with a friend. We stayed up for 24 hours and took one photo an hour to a set theme. James explains our new zine: Sometimes drifting through time’s gentle currents and eddies you’re able to watch, as if moving past motorised dioramas in a papier mâché cave, life actually happening. The collective construction of the present. Minuscule moments of habit. We wanted to mark with a keen eye the details of one day as it’s assembled. For twenty four hours, these were our lives as we lived them. I also made a few craft collage kits to sell at the Tokyo Art Book Fair. Pompom socks! Soooo cute! Multi coloured manicures and handmade skirts. 'Intense pegging' (as referenced by one of my instagram followers) after losing my $50 polka dot Castle and Things pillow case. FLORAL CUP NOODLES?!! JAPAN!!! I love you! Sophie et chocolat. Cuties. Meetings at Sophie et chocolat's super cute studio. Outgoing mail. How great is this embossed stamp punch! The closing party for Violet and Claire before it moves shop to Kyoto. These days my meetings look like this. Invite some friends around for homemade onigiri. Trying to be healthy. Rooftop obento lunch breaks at work. I really just wanted ramen. There has been some crazy beautiful action in the sky lately. A rainbow over Shibuya. From my balcony. Watercolour sky from my balcony. So fun to be a workshop participant for a change! The WORLDS BEST stamping station in Tachikawa! Sunsets in Ginza. Camera shopping and stationery shopping with friends in Ginza. Hope you're having a lovely start to the week Sandwiches! Love Love Hello Sandwich xoxo
