Holly Jolly Layers

Here’s another card showcasing the Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF; this is a new type of folder that gets a far more 3D effect which you can enhance by lightly spritzing the cardstock with water first. This is also my first use of the Holly Jolly Layers stamp set which is a fun set with four images that are already layered – but that doesn’t stop additional layers being added!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Holly Jolly Layers - Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF - Warmth & Cheer DSP stack

I used crumb cake for my dry embossed layer and then because the stamped image wasn’t getting the depth of colour that I wanted, I heat embossed it. Actually this is cherry cobbler embossing powder but that was merely because I couldn’t find my clear embossing powder. I really like to first ink up the stamp in versamark and then the coloured ink and use clear embossing powder. You get a nice filled in emboss because of the colour. I used the largest of the square stitched shapes framelits dies to cut this out and added a strip of the Warmth & Cheer DSP stack because I had a piece handy after cutting out a mouse’s sweater for an earlier card. I also dry embossed the envelope flap (I didn’t spritz that, figuring the paper is thinner and I didn’t want to get the glue wet!) – love the effect.
