CAS Mix Up Card Challenge February 2021


I was fortunate enough to win the November CAS Mix Up Challenge 2020 and they asked if I would like to be the guest designer for February 2021.
When I found out it was a technique I had never tried I was so excited.
Here are the links to the YouTube videos if you would like to join us...

Heat Embossing 1 with Stencils

Heat Embossing 2 with Stencils

Heat Embossing 3 with Stencils

For mine I used white and kraft card stock.
On the main panel I stenciled with Tim Holtz “Holiday Knit” stencil and I used a Versmark cube to apply the ink.
Then I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
To finish I die cut the sentiment from white card stock using a die from the Tim Holtz “Holiday Words: Thin” set then glued them to the front of the card.

    What a great guest designer card. I love the contrast with the white and kraft and that simple stencil has really produced a truly amazing card xx

    I do love Nordic prints and this lovely card reminds me of them. Someday I have to learn to knit one. Anyway, thanks so much for joining us as a Guest Designer at CAS Mix Up.

    Beautiful card, Arlene! I love how your white knit pattern pops against the Kraft card base and how you paired it with the winter sentiment...so clever!
