One of my good friends and a member of my stamping club called me one day and asked if I had ever used metal when crafting. Well....yes....some....but......not really! She found some great crafting metal online and wanted to share what she made.
Here are the projects Carol made - and you will be STUNNED!
Carol used some copper metal and a non Stampin'' Up embossing folder, but I just had to share these because they are SO beautiful
Here's another one
and this one could be used as an embellishment or a beautiful decoration
Aren't they fabulous? Carol found what is called crafting aluminum metal online.
I went to my closet and sure enough I had some too - in a multitude of colors, so we designed this card and Carol shared this technique at our club meeting!
The star is using the "Tempting Turquoise" metal (matches perfectly) and can be used on the card front and then removed to decorate a package or as an ornament!
Here's a little tutorial so YOU can try this - so many possibilities!!
To make the "metal" a little more sturdy (it's paper thin), you will need to glue two pieces together. We used our Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue - and the flat end to get a good covering
Place the two together and then use a rolling pin to flatten them
The next step was to cut out the two stars with the Star Framelits
We then ran these through the Big Shot using the Northern Flurries Embossing Folder
Simple and easy, but VERY effective
We ran the Whisper White card stock through the Northern Flurries Embossing Folder also and then sponged a little Tempting Turquoise ink over it!
Besides the metal, here are the products we used for this project
absolutely stunning.... How heavy are the cards from the metal? Would it increase the cost of postage? Are the edges sharp and most importantly, where did you go to get the metal ...lol. Thank you for sharing...
