Materials You Will

Need:

Make a 3D M-Bossabilities

Engraving Foil Card

First select the engravers art gold

card, the Spellbinder 3D M-

Bossabilities folder along with

the pink embossing plate & a

raspberry adapter plate.

Now close the folder shut.

You may which to add a piece

of low tack tape to hold the

card onto the embossing

plate so it doesn`t move but

this is optional.

Place the Spellbinders raspberry

plate over the folder. PLEASE

REMEMBER to use this folder

combination when using the 3D

folders as using the base plate

will be too thick & could break

your Grand Calibur machine.

Lift the raspberry off

the stack & open the

folder to reveal the

detailed embossed card.

This workshop shows how to

make an easy but STUNNING

card using the engravers gold

foil with the 3D M-Bossabilities

folder. The panel has a

Spellbinders labels four

embossed shape within the

design so it`s a perfect

platform to use die shapes cut

from the gold labels four or the

standard labels four die.

Take the pink embossing plate & lay it on

the work surface. Place the 3D M-

Bossabilities folder with the Spellbinders

name facing upwards & opened up. Add

a cut panel of engravers card with the

black facing upwards.

Pass the prepared

plates through the

Grand Calibur

machine to emboss

the engravers card.

Place the embossed panel on the ink blending

mat before starting to sand the piece. Use the

flat of a sanding block & gently move it back

and forth over the 3D embossed areas.

Take away as much of the black as you wish to

suit the effect needed for the project. Turn the

sanding block up to get into the lower basket

weave & sand away any unwanted black areas.

.

The sanding looks nice if a large proportion

of the black is removed from the sides &

you can go back in & distress the gold with

some alcohol inks if needed.

Also use the same grime boss to clean

the black off the blending mat.

The small gold die shape has been cut &

embossed in the engravers foil, so go ahead

& sand the piece to reveal the gold

underneath. The engravers foil is also

available with silver & copper underneath.

Take either wet or a dried up Grime Boss & wipe over the

embossed piece. This will pick up the loose black particles

left from the sanding & clean up the panel.

Now select the labels four die shapes to go on the

matching labels four area of the embossing folder.

Here the gold labels four dies are going to be picked.

Cut the dies shapes out in different

colours & sizes to have a play around with

different ideas. If you then don`t want to

use a certain colour or shape, place it in a

box & use for another project.

Stack the cut die shapes onto the labels

four panel on the 3D folder, until you are

happy with the combination. The dies can

either be stacked on top of the area or....

Pass the folder through the G/Calibur using the

same raspberry & pink plates as before. This will

revive the 3D effect & give you a cut out area too.

Either join 2 pieces of kraft card together make a base card or use a single panel for the piece. Measure the area to 9” x 7”or 225mm x 177mm. Add some walnut stain ink to a piece of cut`n`dry foam & distress the edges of the card.

Underneath. Place the gold large labels four die

facing cut side down onto the embossed area. Cut

the piece through the Grand Calibur machine. This

will flatten the embossed areas of the panel.

But this can be overcome by adding the worked piece

back into the 3D folder making sure the design

matches up with the embossed areas in the folder.

Remove the stack of card & place the

opened up base card onto a craft mat.

Punch a small hole over the marked areas.

Cut and make a mat for the panel using milk &

ginger card. Just place the layers of card onto the

base card & mark 2 holes either side of the bottom

corner of the card to add some ribbon later.

Add the prepared panels onto the base

card using the Cosmic Shimmer glue.

Poke the ribbon through the holes.

Shimmer glue

Distress the ginger gold labels four

shape & add to the aperture using glue.

Then add the small black & gold shape

over the top using foam tape.

Add gold Cosmic Shimmer

embossing powder over the top

before heat setting with a heat tool.

Until you have both ends to the front of

the card. Tie these off into a bow.

Add the 3D worked panel onto the card using foam tape for

added dimension. Place a light brown dazzler over the knot

of the bow & add 2 pearl pins into back of the bow or card.

Try changing the ginger card for something

like the teal card & use the silver based

engravers foil for a different look to the

piece. This card would make a lovely

autumnal card or add to a glassless frame to

be admired on the wall ~ Happy Crafting

The 3D M-Bossabilities range of folders are

great for making a quick card & they don`t

take a lot of work to make a great project.

Select the `sending you art` stamp from

the art houses stamp plate & place it on

an acrylic block. Ink up the stamp using

the Ranger clear & resist ink pad.

Cut around the edge of the sentiment &

distress the edges with some walnut stain.

Add the sentiment to the centre of the black /

gold label shape to complete the project.
