Ellen Hutson Mix It Up Challenge


Is there a technique that is common that you tend to avoid?  For me it is heat embossing.  I end up with powder everywhere and my project looks like a hot mess.  I'm challenge myself to try it more this month and see if I get any better with practice.  I started with a fun challenge from the Ellen Hutson Classroom.  They are mixing it up with Avery Elle and I just happen to have gotten a new Avery Elle Butterflies set this week.  Perfect timing, huh?  It paired well with the Essentials by Ellen Bold Blooms set.  Do you see all that embossing??  I managed to not muck it up!  Clear powder might be my friend.  Black and white?  Not so much, but we'll see.  lol

Laila and I have been taking a walk after dinner this week.  It has been so nice and we've walked close to 2 miles each night.  We have been treated to some beautiful sunsets.  Look at those colors!  Gorgeous!

  1. Lovely card! I love the deep blue coloring. I rub cornstarch on my card stock before embossing. I put it into one of the peds that you get at a shoe store to put on your feet when you don't have socks.

  2. My embossing buddy was a game changer for me when embossing. I rub it all over my card before embossing & it makes a huge difference.

  3. Your heat embossing is perfect! I love heat embossing and think it is such a great technique to add dimension really easily - plus you can emboss resist which is ace. Great for you to go walking after dinner. Such a beautiful sunset! xx

  5. Beautiful card - love those blues. I try to avoid black embossing powder at all costs! I use Verasfine black ink and put clear powder on it ;)
