I had a question in the comments section about these Fiskar Fuse
things. I’m not sure what they are called but they are hard grey plastic that
deboss a design in cardstock – they call it a letterpress look. However, I
checked Fiskar’s site and there is no mention of the Fiskar Fuse or Letterpress
so I think this product did not go over well and is discontinued which is why
the ones I picked up were so cheap. If you see them on clearance, pick them up
and have fun.
Here is the third card that I made using the above “things”.
When I was going through the stash I found a piece of Core’dinations
cardstock – the kind that has the white core – and I thought why not run this
through and sand off the top. As I was running it through the Big Shot it
dawned on me that these deboss, not emboss but oh well, might as well keep
going. So the top around the debossed flowers were sanded and I quite liked the
look. Hhmm the other side was rather blah so I ran the cardstock through an
embossing folder and then sanded the top of it. Cool! I had a tiny piece of the
same Core’dinations cardstock left over and wanted to stay with the emboss or
deboss look so I took a word die and ran it through the Big Shot using a rubber
pad underneath so it didn’t cut but left the impression. Then I went over the
letters with a silver get pen and tied the tag on with a white ribbon. Clear
gems on the flower centres finished it off nicely.
I broke down and bought the Tim Holtz crazy bird stamp set today
at the Paper Pickle – and a Wink of Stella pen – so much fun colouring up these
birds!
That’s all for a lovely Wednesday night,
Cheers
