Embossing with La-La Land Crafts dies.

 Hi everyone, it is Renee Ludlow here ready to share a quick tutorial with you.

We all love La-La Land Crafts dies.  But did you know that you can also emboss with these wonderful dies? Since this week is Emboss It week on the blog, I thought I would share with you how I used the Butterflies Set 1 dies to emboss the background of my card.

The wonderful thing about the crafting community is that we all share our ideas and inspiration.  This idea came from my friend Philippa Barr.

I use a Cuttlebug, but I am sure that a similar effect will be able to be achieved in other cutting machines.

You will need a Spellbinders Tan embossing mat for this to work.

The Cuttlebug Sandwich you want is as follows:

A plate

B plate

Tan Embossing mat

Paper to be embossed face up

La-La Land Crafts Die face down

B plate.

Once you have ran your plates through your machine you will be left with an embossed image...pretty cool hey! The tan mat stops the die from cutting all the way through the paper.

If you want you can take this one step further.  By adding a small amount of paint to your finger tip and slightly rubbing it over the embossed image you get a more distressed feel.

So next time you pull out your gorgeous La-La Land Crafts dies, remember that they aren't just for cutting.  The possibilities are endless!!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial.  Don't forget, you can always share your makes with us in our Customer Gallery and/or on our Facebook Page and Group.

Just sittin' here :-)

Since this week our Design Team is sharing their projects with "One for the Boys" theme, I wanted to show you the card that I made for our CHA display.  I really do love how this card has turned out! 

On this card I combined THREE different stamps from our last release - Sitting Luka, Brick Wall and Tire Swing. 

I wanted to show that our Tire Swing stamp is not just for sitting Marci or Luka on it, it can be used as a part of the scene as well.  

This card measures 6" x 6".

Project Recipe:

Stamps: Sitting Luka, Brick Wall and Tire Swing- all from La-La Land Crafts
Papers: Bazzill Cardstock, My Minds Eye
Tools: MS Grass Punch, Silhouette (Tree)

Hugs!!
